SOUND OF STOCKHOLM

18 NOVEMBER

19:30 KRIS KULDKEPP

Kris Kuldkepp is an experimental musician and performance artist based in Hamburg, Germany. She explores the rich traditions of the double bass to discover sonic experiences featuring rich harmonic textures, noise music as well as elements from pop and doom ambient. In addition to the double bass, she uses found objects, motors, and DIY electronics to create musical experiences that deconstruct meanings and forms of musical structures.

20:45 CASSÉ

Cassé is an Italian-Swiss duo between Caroline Profanter and Selene Mauvis, who started their collaboration in a basement home studio in Brussels, in 2019. They play with used, found and often semi-broken instruments, aiming for writing a „Greatest Hit“ at each rehearsal. Their rhythms and melodies are as simple as effective, their polyglot, Dadaist lyrics are sung, chanted or rapped, sometimes in an hypnotic style. The approach is DIY, low-fi, to use what is at hand, looking for a variety of acoustically played objects and instruments, and a minimum of electronics (yamaha keyboard, megaphones).

22:00 MARIA W HORN & MATS ERLANDSSON

Maria W Horn and Mats Erlandsson are two of the key figures in the reemerging scene of drone music in Stockholm. For their performance at Sound of Stockholm, the composers will perform works from their recent release as a duo, Celestial Shores (2023, B.A.A.D.M.). The work was originally composed as a score for the second half of Andy Warhol’s movie Nico/Nico Crying (1966), featuring modular synthesizer, zither, voice, contaminated field recordings and percussion, and emphasizes both composers signature methods of working with both sustained sound, synthesis, harmonic progressions and field recordings.
