Electro-acoustic (and some other) Music
by
Johannes Bergmark
I don't write music for other musicians. I make music alone or in cooperation with others. To compose for a group of people that are only supposed to express what I want, my vision or utopia, is an act that in itself contradicts what I want, my vision or utopia. I want to avoid hierarchic use of power. I want to propagate equality, discussion and critical thinking and at the same time I hope to inspire others to take their liberties. To engage, then, in an activity that is hierarchic, is for me disgusting. In that sense, I don't fit in the standard image of what a composer is. However, I often make compositions, i.e. music with predetermined sound structure. Since it's just my own and not forced upon others, it's a cheap process. Either it's on "tape" or performed live by myself. Some of my favourites lately are described below.
