Solo acoustic concert by Finn Loxbo. Loxbo's current solo playing eschews abstraction for something much more direct. His guitar sounds more like a concert harp or the West African kora as he ruminates on a set of melodic fragments, shifting them through rapid-fire arpeggiated permutations with a spontaneous energy that is countered only by his extraordinary touch on the instrument and an undeniable sensitivity to his material’s dynamic potential. It’s a glorious extension of the chiming chords and experimental preparations heard in his contributions to Magnus Granberg's Skogen or via his own brilliant ensemble Kommun.
Doors open 3pm for food (included in ticket price)
Concert at 4pm.

This concert is part of a series of four intimate concerts at Yeshin Norbu Meditation Centre in Stockholm featuring original works by musicians who have a meditation practice connected to a variety of Buddhist traditions.
Finn Loxbo is a guitarist with a focus on free improvisation. His music is usually on either side of two dynamic extremes: quiet acoustic or very loud. On the quiet side we find him in his own ensemble Kommun, as a solo act and in collaborations with, for example, Skogen. Examples from the louder side are Kyosaku, Anna Högberg Extended Attack, and previously in bands such as Doglife, Strändernas svall and Fire! Orchestra.
