Kompositören, artisten och producenten JG Thirlwell kommer ursprungligen från Melbourne, Australien, men bor sedan tidigt 1980-tal i Brooklyn, New York. Han har gett ut över trettio album, ibland under pseudonymer som Foetus, Steroid Maximus, Baby Zizanie, Hydroze Plus, Clint Ruin och Wiseblood. En dramatisk intensitet och suggestiv, filmisk kvalitet kännetecknar Thirlwells musik. Thirlwell har producent och samarbetat med artister som Karen O, Noveller, Excepter, Zola Jesus, Melvins, Swans, Nine Inch Nails, Lydia Lunch, Coil, Nick Cave och många fler.
JG Thirlwell har skrivit musik för ensembler som Kronos Quartet och Bang On A Can, och han tillhör ljudkonstkollektivet “freq_out” tillsammans med CM von Hausswolff.
Han är just färdig med soundtracket till Tony Ourslers senaste filminstallation ”Imponderable” som visas på Museum of Modern Art i New York.

Carl Michael von Hausswolff är född 1956 och bor i Stockholm. Sedan slutet av 1970-talet har CM von Hausswolff använt sig av inspelningsteknik som sitt främsta instrument när han komponerar. Han har uppträtt med sina verk på internationella festivaler i Barcelona, Berlin, Paris och Mexico City och en mängd skivbolag runt om i världen har gett ut hans musik. Bland CM von Hausswolffs många samarbetspartners finns konstnären Leif Elggren, filmskaparen Thomas Nordanstad samt kompositörerna och musikerna Hans-Joachim Roedelius, Mark Fell och
Jim O´Rourke. Den 15 mars 2017 kommer CM von Hausswolff att spela ett elektroakustiskt stycke med improvisatoriska inslag.

The Great Learning Orchestra är ett nätverk av drygt hundra musiker från olika genrer, städer och länder som möts för att utforska musik med lyssnandet i centrum. GLO har sin bas i Stockholm men samarbetar med tonsättare och musiker ifrån hela världen. The Great Learning Orchestra har framfört stycken som ”Vexations” av Erik Satie, ”In C” och ”Tread on the Trail” av Terry Riley och Lou Reeds ”Metal Machine Music” i samarbete med kompositören Ulrich Krieger. Orkestern har arbetat med kompositörer som Gavin Bryars och Arnold Dreyblatt. Hösten 2015 ägnade sig GLO åt en djupdykning i amerikanskan Pauline Oliveros ljudvärld under en serie konserter och workshops på Fylkingen i Stockholm.

Thanks to all of our audience in Höfn, Egilsta∂ir and Reykjavik in Iceland! We are so happy that you all took us with open arms. This trip will be remembered for lots of things. One is the very interesting work in progress with Ragnhei∂ur Sigurðardóttir Bjarnarson that me and David – Laurna Røde – experienced during the whole trip. Another is the presence of potential eruptions of the Bar∂arbunga glacier volcanos. Very inspiring for us as a drone duo. Laurna Røde can´t wait to go back!

Shot from Verona Risuona

May 13th, 2013 § Comments Off on Shot from Verona Risuona § permalink

May 9 and 11, 2013, sound installation and live performance with David Sabel at Verona Risuona festival, Verona, Italy.

This Saturday, the streets of Verona City were filled with performances, installations and artists. This is a shot from Porta Borsari where you could hear the sounds from steel stringed acoustic guitars played with e-bows along with a soundscape recorded in Verona. Luckily we also had a nice live soundscape from the people, walls and surroundings of the space we played in.

Performers in this clip: David Sabel and Helena Persson.
