SVENSKA jACK

Kategori: Gig

  • Gothenburg Fringe Festival

    Oh Gothenburg, fun this will be! Welcome to enjoy useless music, distorted anger and harsh words at the Abyss – a metal and comedy scene (sic!). Sunday September 7, I will be performing my open sound experiment ”impulse”.

    • ”Impuls” is a sound experiment exploring a lifetime of tantrums and short fuses burning constantly.

    Performed by Svenska jack, a brutal sound artist performing in English, Swedish and gibberish-ish.•

    Anger is actually based on impulses, so are electronics. If we can’t control the one, maybe the other might help. The impulse is just the beginning, the rest is up to the conducting material. “Impuls” is an open sound experiment, and you are invited as a witness.

    Event Details: September 7, 18:00 at the Abyss, Andra Långgatan 35

    Genre: Music Spoken Word & Visual Art

    Duration: 45 mins

    Price: pay what you want from 50 SEK, full prise 120 kr (or more).

    The one facing me, tweaking a very small Bastl machine, is Rickard. He runs a venue called Rymden (Space), they create spaces for artists , screamers and soft spoken dreamers. Thank you Rickard for housing my machines during the fifth edition of the experimental open stage called ”Scenen”, which means ”the Stage”, there is no point calling a spade a porcupine here. A space is a space and a stage is a stage. Clearly. Anyway.

    Last saturday me, the other artists and the hostess Pernilla, in the shape of roman goddess Juno of course, entered the stage in the space for an inspired experience. Poetry, comedy, music and sound art on a fuzzy platform together with a loving audience. What a gig.

    On my second set for the evening I invited bystanders to participate in the making of arrhythmic beats, disturbing timbres and hysterical melodies. That’s when Rickard got in the picture and Lisa took said picture on a stage in a space in space. Yes love, that was saturday.

    Small and great festival in the outskirts of outskirts. DIY stage in old factory, also fancy pizza. People were kind, interested and interesting. Wild, fearless and mesmerising music fled the speakers and bounced around the souls.

    For me, the challenge is the audience. I need a spoken word detox. No need to charm people, it is overrated and a dirty trick. I am no longer the instrument, not even the vessel. I am just the conductor. Sounds, signals and released ideas are the act now. Not me.

    Also – I must stop fearing the weird. The weird is in me, it is flowing through the machines and it must be heard even outside of the studio. The people can handle it, they are stranger than me. Get a grip dammit. More noise. Less nice!
