Spoorg
This is from an architect exhibition in Los Angeles. Microcontrollers connecting with each others by sending sinus tones. No mother computer involved. Pure generative music. The project is called Spoorg and was initiated by S-E-R-V-O. Me and Martin Q Larsson did the set up for the musical behaviour.This is from the performance ElevenLovelyLovesongs at Södra Teatern, Stockholm with Charlotte Engelkes, me, Tomas Hallonsten and Bebe Risenfors.This is an excerpt from a silent movie by Johan Löfstedt produced by Stavro, Sweden and with music by me. The story is about a Comet approaching Stockholm in the mid 60's and what we see here is, right after the news have been broadcasted, how the people panic. It's possible to order the DVD from www.stavro.se - - - - - - - - - - - - -Below: The music on this cassette is a suite for 8 musicians that I composed for a ballet performance in Norway.
