Space is the trio of Lisa Ullén, Elsa Bergman and Anna Lund. I love what they are doing. They share a double bill with [Ahmed] on 19th October at Kulturhuset, Stockholm. We did a recording session a few weeks back and I filmed a short thing that you can watch here: vimeo.com/1126460279?f...

Today we host a rare solo performance by guitarist Finn Loxbo as part of our series at Yeshin Norbu Meditation Centre. Food is included in the ticket price and for today will be corn tortillas, black beans, salsa and pickled red onion (all vegan/gluten free). edition-festival.com/en/events/fi...

Anna with LP :-)

Out Today! A radically dynamic album length suite for a 12-strong ensemble that moves through whisper-quiet textural intensity to harrowing distortion and double drum chaos; raucous and solemn song.

These and the Marja Ahti LPs are now in stock at OTO.

Back in London briefly. Playing trio tonight at @cafeotodalston.bsky.social with Steve Noble on drums and Seymour Wright on alto saxophone. I am playing analog synthesizer. www.cafeoto.co.uk/events/chant...

Very nice words about Marja Ahti’s LP here: aktirecords.net/blogs/produc...

I love this trio. They have, I believe, two albums out to date and both are very much worth your time.

Recording Space: trio of Lisa Ullén, Anna Lund and Elsa Bergman tonight at Fylkingen. There is also a free lunchtime concert/recording tomorrow.

These arrived today and turned out nice. Out Oct 3!

You can now pre-order the new Anna Högberg Attack LP from @cafeotodalston.bsky.social www.cafeoto.co.uk/shop/anna-ho...

as far as obituaries go, you'd be hard pressed to do better than this.

It has been over a year and a pretty hard slog but today I am finished with "The Blue Hour" for violin and piano, composed for Sarah Saviet & Joe Houston which will get its premiere at Donaueschingen Musiktage on October 18th and a UK premiere @hcmfuk.bsky.social in November.

Oh man, that sounds incredible. Just bought the vinyl, thanks for the tip.

For @thequietus.com, I wrote about @marjaahti.bsky.social's new album of delicate yet voluminous electroacoustic explorations (out on @johnchantler.bsky.social's Fönstret). Gorgeous stuff.

i seem to have misplaced or lost my phone somewhere between my studio and the apartment. these two spaces are only ~ 100 metres apart. ugh. feels like i'm losing my mind.

This Sunday we continue our concert series at Yeshin Norbu Meditation centre with violin works by Kristofer Svensson performed by Maya Bennardo. Communal meal at 3pm (dal Bhat), concert at 4pm. Hope you can join us.

VERY happy to be presenting SKOGEN in no lesser room than Konserthuset's Grünewaldsalen this November in celebration of their 20 year anniversary. They premiere Magnus Granberg's 'Trouble, Had It All My Days' (scored for 13 musicians). Tickets now on sale. edition-festival.com/en/events/ma...

Slightly later release date, but folks in the USA can order @marjaahti.bsky.social's 'Touch This Fragrant Surface of Earth' from Clandestine Distribution or get your favourite local retailer to order it in from them. clandestinedistribution.com/products/ant...

I have never seen Tortoise live. Looking forward to catching them at close quarters in Stockholm next January.

Just counted 'em, and I have 24 copies left here of this Ellen Fullman & @okkyunglee.bsky.social LP on Vinyl... johnchantler.bandcamp.com/album/the-ai...

the photographer eun chun had 4 outdoor cats she cared for in her garden named the north, the east, the south and the west… this fella you see in the cover was the east who apparently loved climbing trees… sadly he crossed over the rainbow bridge a couple of years ago…

here is the cheap cassette player treated with john’s super fancy microphone…

Next week in Stockholm: Jules Reidy installation and performance at MINT. Part of September Sessions. m-i-n-t.se/inside-cryst...

New Okkyung Lee LP out today via Shelter Press. No cello, but a very very Okkyung record. okkyunglee.bandcamp.com/album/just-l... Okkyung first played me this music through a tiny portable radio that played files off a memory card. That was how she wanted it to sound.

Pat Thomas's relentless dedication to improvisational music has made him a revered figure in the contemporary free jazz scene. Here are some of his standout works.

Tape 25 year anniversary concert tonight something gorgeous and pushed into nice zones with the addition of Lars Skoglund’s drumming. Induced big nostalgia for a time I like to imagine as much less complicated and not yet saturated by the psychedelic delirium of life stress.

Totally great concert today from Kansan Zetterberg. Nice turn out and great vibes all ’round. Here’s a short clip from the absolutely massive sounding arco section

Kansan Zetterberg solo concert today at Yeshin Norbu. Have been lucky to hear him up close a few times this last year (Anna Högberg recording, Christer Bothén 3) and he really has an incredible sound on the bass. He also has a wonderfully mischievous energy. Good combo. Looking forward to this.

In this week’s newsletter we answer the question “If you could carve a message in stone for future archaeologists to find, what would you say?” The answer is depressing! buttondown.com/monteiro/arc...

First of these is on Sunday with Kansan 'Torbjörn' Zetterberg !! Food will be: Tofu & Vegetable Hotpot with Rice Cold Spicy Cucumber Pickles All Vegan and Gluten Free. Cold Spicy Cucumber will have Sesame Oil/Sesame Seeds. Please ask if you have any other specific questions!
