14/10 The Croaks (UK/CZ/SE)

Vi presenterar stolt den brittiske trumslagaren Roger Turner med fri-improvisationstrion the Croaks.  Med Martin Klappers texturer av ljud ifrån allehanda leksaker, hushållsobjekt och modifierad hemelektronik och med Martin Küchens livfulla kråkskriksutbrott skapar de tillsammans med Roger Turners rytmiska sammelsurium av klangmönster en tät sammanslagning av kaos och ordning lite som målaren Jean-Michel Basquiat. paaaw!!

”The croaks almost stumbled across each other after failing to attend a speech given by a dear lost friend. Actually it wasn’t a speech, more the reading of a short letter, and because this reading wasn’t made publically, attendance was difficult to plan. The letter wasn’t in fact from a close friend either, though we are sure he would fully understand the nature of distance and how close we might almost have been. The letter contained a poem written under the title : recent croaks—please find enclosed recent croaks—- and was accompanied by a small cheque made out to a small literary organisation. The letter was handed to a member of the trio, and duly very nearly remembered before being passed on as a band title. The poem was very short and signed sam.”

Roger Turner (UK) – drums and percussion.
Martin Klapper (CZ/DK) – amplified objects, toys and small electronics.
Martin Küchen (SE) – sopranino – and soprano saxophones, snare drum.

16/9 Kulturnatt med Djuret/Clara Alm/Monopunk SWE/the Bang Bang Bangs/Luka Aron (DEU)

I samarbete med musikern Jonny Pousette (Monopunk SWE) och i ett pop-igare format presenteras ett antal nya grupper ifrån Uppsala.

Kvällen avslutas med Luka Aron ifrån Tyskland. Kärnan i hans arbete är den spektrala fusionen av syntetiserat ljud och akustiska instrument, där han kombinerar den råa energin från elektroniken med människans sköra beröring.

Djuret:Kräftan

19.00 Djuret:Kräftan

I “Kräftan” utforskas hur upprepning kan skapa rytm, som blir till en trygghet. Tryggheten grusas och övergår i sorg, skräck och hopp i detta verk med fältinspelning och modularsynth, skapat av Djuret (alias Olof Jönsson).

19.45 Clara Alm

Med snart 10 år som aktiv liveartist i bagaget har Clara Alms musik hunnit nå fram till många hjärtan runt om i Sverige. Drama, pop och elektronisk puls bygger upp ljudlandskapet till hennes egenproducerade EPs ”Velvet” (2018) och ”Burning Blue” (2020).

Sommaren 2022 gav sig Clara Alm ut på turné från norr till söder. Med stopp som förband för Cornelia Jakobs och ett hyllat gästspel under The Arks reunionturné 2022 var det ännu fler som kunde intyga om att Clara Alm är ett namn att lägga på minnet inför framtiden.

Clara är aktuell med singeln ”Månen i Verona” (januari 2023) som fick markera startskottet på ett språkbyte från engelska till svenska. Under våren 2023 kommer mer ny musik och sommaren 2023 turné runt om i Sverige.

Live bjuder Clara in till en musikalisk resa som berör. Med hjälp av sitt enmansband bestående av synthar, loopar och ett starkt sånguttryck ger Clara Alm lyssnaren en intim men pulserande liveshow.

Monopunk

ca 20.30 Monopunk SWE

För tredje året i rad landar ambientpunkens riddare på Klubb 19. Sedan förra året har Monopunk SWE främst varit upptagna med att skaffa fler synthar. Under 2023 har Johnny Pousette gjort flera bejublade solospelningar och Man Rave har släppt ett uppskattat soloalbum. Nu är det dags att återvända till moderskeppet igen för en ny cocktail av psykedelisk krautsynthpunk på svenska.

Bang Bang Bangs


ca 21.15 INSTÄLLT PGA SJUKDOM The Bang Bang Bangs

The Bang Bang Bangs är ett nytt band på den svenska alternativa rockscenen. Två singlar kommer att släppas under hösten 2023 på alla streamingplattformar. Den första singeln, Sun God släpps i september 2023. The Bang Bang Bangs inspireras av garagepunk, postpunk och indiepop.

Luka Aron (DEU)

ca 22.00 Luka Aron (DEU)

Luka Aron is a musician and composer of electroacoustic and minimalist music based between Stockholm and Berlin. The core of his practice is the spectral fusion of synthesized sound and acoustic instruments, combining the raw energy of power electronics with the fragility of the human touch. Aron’s work has been described by The Guardian as “thick, impasto layers of slow-moving sound that completely command your attention.”

The framework of Aron’s compositions is often based on the observation of psychoacoustic phenomena and how they relate to the use of just intonation. A careful selection of partials is presented, stimulating additional tones in the perception of the listener. Through this, a secondary structure is gradually unveiled: like light rays meeting the surface of water, partially reflecting back to air and refracting at once, as they pass from one medium to the other. As such, Aron employs methods of reverse- engineering auditory processes, with the aim to invoke alternative listening modes. By putting the act of tuning at the center, many beating patterns are exposed, and the spectrum is flooded with overtones and feedback.

As graduate of Musikakademie Basel (CH), he is
currently pursuing a master’s degree in
Electroacoustic Composition at The Royal College
of Music in Stockholm (SE).

20.00 Zoe Efstathiou/Egil Kalman

The duo Zoe Efstathiou/Egil Kalman explores the materiality of space by sculpting sound objects which are dynamically changing through interaction and improvisation. Subtle nuances alter the surface characteristics and boundaries of the objects, evoking a sensuous and tangible experience and creating an environment where the boundaries between the acoustic and electronic world become unclear. The piano, through the use of extended techniques, objects and microphones is explored in its timbral possibilities and serves as a surface for tactile explorations, often imitating the electronic world. The modular synthesizers take the form of physical masses, projecting the gravitational and material attributes of the sound with their formations.

By tracing the microlevel sound articulations and the through timbral explorations of acoustic and electronic instruments, large scale forms are created where the momentary interpolates with the ever evolving. The music reflects the ephemeral, the transient state between future and past, inviting the listener to experience time as a superficial characteristic of reality.

Maria Moles

21.00 Maria Moles (AU)

Maria Moles is an Australian drummer, composer and producer based in Narrm/Melbourne. Her solo percussion performances draw on ideas from the Kulintang music of the Philippines and contemporary electronic production to weave hypnotic webs from layers of unmetered pulse that slowly undergo subtle textural transformations. In collaborative contexts ranging from free improvisation, jazz and contemporary composition to experimental pop, Maria contributes an acute sense of touch, placement and timbre, unashamed virtuosity and a powerful rhythmic drive.

She has performed and collaborated with some of Australia’s most renowned artists, including The Australian Art Orchestra, Anthony Pateras, Jim Denley, Amos Roach, Lucas Abela, Krakatau, Andrea Keller, Dave Brown, Jenny Barnes, Carolyn Connors, Scott Tinkler, James Rushford, Ernie Althoff, Tenzin Choegyal, and The Splinter Orchestra. Maria’s debut EP ‘Mondo Flockard’ was released in 2016 through Perth label Tonelist, and was listed on Avant Music News under Best Albums of the Year. In 2017, she composed and performed a percussion and electronics score for Ben Christensen’s 1922 film ‘Haxan’ at Dark Mofo festival in Hobart, Tasmania. Performing on solo drums, Maria has opened for Claire Rousay, MY DISCO, Clever Austin (Hiatus Kaiyote), Chris Corsano (Bjork, Thurston Moore, Evan Parker), Oren Ambarchi, and Alex Zhang Hungtai (Dirty Beaches). Her solo LP ‘Opening’ was released through Nice Music in January 2019. Maria was a recipient of the Art Music Fund in 2020 and released her second album ‘For Leolanda’ via Room4o in 2022.

Obay Alsharani

22.00 Obay Alsharani (SY)

Obay’s exquisite ambient sound worlds conjure the snowscapes and the shifting colours of the Arctic night sky. Lo-fi orchestral samples, melodies that tease the subconscious mind, and half-heard field recordings combine to produce an album with serious emotional weight.

Obay Alsharani is a Syrian migrant now settled in Sweden, and Sandbox is his debut album. Obay started producing music back in 2013 in his homeland of Syria. His lo-fi productions fused dusty samples of Arabic music with crunchy hip-hop beats, and he gained a dedicated following on Soundcloud after he started releasing his productions under the name Khan El Rouh; “…it was great for escapism from all the horror that was happening outside when we watched what we started as peaceful protests for social equality and freedom of expression descend into a ravaging civil war between a brutal regime and the Islamists who took over the revolution”

As the situation in Damascus worsened, Obay fled Syria eventually being offered a scholarship in Sweden, which led to an extended period in refugee accommodation in the far north of the country while he awaited the result of his residence application. Here he resumed his beat-making, and also sought refuge in the world-building game Minecraft, a place where he could momentarily forget the chaos and destruction in his homeland and the upheaval and uncertainty of his situation in Sweden, and concentrate on creation.
