New collaborative piece in progress

Posted on by
In 2017, Simon Berggården and outstanding percussionist Emelie Sjöström are to collaborate in the creating of a new solo piece for multi percussion, live electronics and fixed media. The piece will explore making connections as a concept and is based on sounds and experiences recorded in Sweden and in India where Emelie is residing during the winter months.
The piece will be premiered and performed at festivals in the summer of 2017 and will be part of a larger co-produced solo percussion program with pieces by Lynn Glassock, Anna Eriksson, Casey Cangelosi, Anders Flodin and Iannis Xenakis also to be performed.
