LINNÉA TALP is a Stockholm-based composer and musician. Her compositions seek to examine the physical experience of breathing, aiming to expand bodily movement into sounding. Her practice centers around presence and focused listening, in which she creates minimalistic yet rich sonic weaves, with the organ as its foundation. Her upcoming album Arch of Motion, consists of eight pieces for pipe organ, with subtle elements of instruments, bass clarinet, voice, and flute. The album features guests Mariam Wallentin, Christer Bothén and Martin Küchen, released under the label Thanatosis. Linnéa has been performing at Sound of Stockholm, Orionteatern, and Ställbergs Gruva to name a few, as well as an ongoing collaboration with the artist Jordana Loeb.

 

SONJA TOFIK creates intimate and melancholic experimental music. Her distorted and slowly lulling synth loops are paired with folk-inspired vocal melodies and field recorded samples. Tofik’s work focuses on superimposed repetitive structures of analog and digital synthesis, drones, sampled textures, and voice. She draws inspiration through models of human nature and society, and concepts of spirituality in modern civilizations.

 

THEODOR KENTROS is often accused of “rushing through the process” by using a lo-fi aesthetic, or in this case seven speakers, to free himself from having to answer to accusations about his lack of mixing ability. However, this is not a cop-out; it is rather a product of his heavy influence from sampling culture. Ranging from ragged soundscapes produced on the sp-404sx sampler to, for lack of a better word, “minimal” pieces made up solely by sine wave oscillators his music has been compared to what Tim Hecker would sound like if he were deaf, a comparison not necessarily far from the truth. Abruptly shifting between shorter rhythmical tracks and longer drone works it is however easy to assume that Kentros is indeed just faking his way through it all, and the saying take the money and run might finally have found its new poster boy, since DB Cooper is probably not with us anymore.

 

ANDERS AF KLINTBERG is a Stockholm-based musician, producer, and film composer. With over a decade of recording and producing in the Stockholm scene, af Klintberg has established his distinct sonic touch through a multitude of live and recording projects, most notably Joe Davolaz, Sverige, and Lovers.
