The artists that will perform on Swedish Energies Festival : EMS in NYC 2013

Musician, composer, artist and politician Dror Feiler's music always hits right in the chest, before it quickly spreads up to the brain. It is a matter of pure, raw, intelligent and physical power. His solo works are extreme and harsh, often challenging but always rewarding. Dror Feiler is a great, positive energy with lots to say. Brutal, beautiful stuff. Feiler is based in Stockholm and has a long history with his free improv band Lokomotiv Konkret.

World premiere of this new duo of Chicago noise master Kevin Drumm and Gothenburg's Joachim Nordwall (iDEAL, The Skull Defekts, Oceans of Silver & Blood). Drumm is no doubt one of the most important composers of extreme electronic music with a long line of releases, for labels like Editions Mego and Hospital. Nordwall is active with his iDEAL label, making monotonous ritual rock with The Skull Defekts and just recently released his third solo album (on Entr'acte) and a collaboration with Mika Vainio (on Touch).

Singer and musician Mariam Wallentin is currently ruling the world with her Mariam The Believer project, creating avant pop beauty with a very special presence and depth. She is half of the rhythm beast Wildbirds & Peacedrums and is considered to be one of the leading voices of today's more brave pop music scene. Tonight we meet her in a rare, intimate and personal solo performance.

Louise Magnusson is student at the Musical Composition Programme, Soundart Orientation at the Academy of Music and Drama at the Gothenburg University. She is creating sharp, rough and hypnotic drone and electro acoustic music often surfing high frequencies and waves of feedback.

Electronic music and musique concrète pioneer Rune Lindblad (1923-1991) was active in Gothenburg, Sweden. He started experimenting with sound in the early 50's and composed over 200 works. Few of these were ever released. Tonight we will experience some of the unreleased pieces.

Berlin-based Hanna Hartman is a very important power in today's performance, sound art- and modern composition scenes. For some 20 years, she has developed an unique and own artistic language, more or less creating her own genre. Experiencing the works of Hanna Hartman live is hypnotic and beautiful.This is her second performance at Swedish Energies.

Mats Lindström is the studio director of Elektronmusikstudion (EMS) in Stockholm since 2004. He is a composer, musician and technician working with raw electronic music, sometimes created on self-designed instruments, and often with a strong visual presence. Marina Rosenfeld is freely travelling the domains of visual art, installations and music, working with large scale performances and as an experimental turntablist. Rosenfeld lives and works in New York City. This is their first collaboration ever.

Another world premiere! Gothenburg legend Henrik Rylander is working with minimal, raw, no input mixing desk feedback drones and noise. He was founding member of the infamous garage rock band Union Carbide Productions and also founded ritual rock group The Skull Defekts in 2005. Artist and musician MV Carbon is based in Brooklyn and is using cello, tape machines, field recordings, synthesizers, self designed electronics and is interested in works with spatial integration and site-specific consideration. Two artists with extremely individual voices meet.

Visual artist Alba G. Corral and sound creator Nikka (Mónica Muñoz) is The Space In Between (the project is based in Spain), an elegant collaboration in which sound and code interact live. They describe their meeting as trying to establish a dialogue; and that "Balance and chaos move through silence and black space."

Mats Gustafsson is perhaps the world's leading free jazz sax player. His endless touring and recording is giving us cascades of free jazz energies, with his amazing solo actions and with groups like The Thing, FIRE!, Swedish Azz and the sadly defunct Peter Brötzmann Chicago Tentet. Tonight he is giving us a dose of live electronics and saxophone, his second attack of Swedish Energies is a fact!
