He is a founding member of Beam Stone where his main instruments are computer and synthesizer. The trio gave its first concert in the fall of 2007, which was recorded and published on CD in 2009. The other members are pianist Sten Sandell, who is also a voice-artist, composer and performer on electronics, and percussionist Raymond Strid. Both have been at the forefront of improvised music in Sweden since the 1970s as members of the trio Gush and in collaborations on the international scene with saxophonist Mats Gustafsson, bassist Barry Guy and many others. The trio’s music is basically freely improvised, sometimes within loosely sketched frameworks and influenced by ’musique concrète’, various kinds of jazz and contemporary art music, ‘ambient’ and much more. Ideologically, Beam Stone derives inspiration from 1950s and 1960s ’avant garde’ and its interaction based on given or spontaneously arisen references.

As a video artist he travels the world, collaborating with a multitude of performance artists, dancers and musicians. Born in Ryd just south of Växjö, he lives and works in Berlin. “At the centre is a machine that can see and hear. Visual and sounding events are automatically detected, analysed and categorised with the use of a camera and a microphone. A (human) performer is simultaneously controlling the machine to play back selected events from its memory. By combining and manipulating events, a pulsating mosaic of interconnected sounds and graphics is created – all generated from the RiFiFi space. Eventually the machine will start to detect itself. For good or for bad it will start to see and hear what it is doing itself, and possibly crash in a moment of feedback introspection.”

composer

Umori     ISCM

When Jukka Tiensuu (b. 1948) first began making a name for himself as a composer in the 1970s, he soon became one of the spearheads of the Modernist vanguard. His works have, among other things, explored micro-intervals, aleatory, open or changing forms, serialism, electronics, computer- aided composition, and the potential of instrumental theatre. Tiensuu has heeded his musical vocation over a broad front and in addition to composing has distinguished himself as a harpsichordist, pianist, conductor, teacher, essayist and arts administrator. Being a man of many talents, he has thus been a major influence on the Finnish contemporary music scene.

Ouvertures     ISCM

The Danish composer Simon Steen-Andersen (b. 1976) has lived and studied in such diverse places as Aarhus, Paris, Freiburg, Buenos Aires, Copenhagen and Rome. He has said that he is “trying to approach the human being behind the instrument, because then music can suddenly be about everything that is most important: communication, being, fragility and intimacy”. In his latest works, barely audible sounds are subjected to extreme amplification: as if the instruments are placed under a microscope. This opens up a rich micro-world in which normally suppressed or hidden subordinated sounds are integrated into an intense imagery of sounds.
