Concert Series with performances at Lyssningsrum and an adjascent space, in this case the foyer area just inside the entrance and leading up the stairwell to MDT.
Series made possible with so-called Krisstöd from Kulturrådet, The Swedish Arts Council — and devised and delivered in collaboration with Daniel M Karlsson and the Royal College of Art.
Evicshen (Victoria Shen) is an experimental music performer, sound artist, and instrument-maker based in San Francisco, USA.
Shen’s work features analog modular synthesizers (Flower Electronics), amplified objects, and other self-built electronics. The resulting music eschews conventions in harmony and rhythm in favor of extreme textures and gestural tones.

John Chantler is a musician and organiser living in Stockholm, Sweden working with synthesis and exploring the aesthetic implications of different infrastructure for electronic music performance.
Originally from Australia he spent a decade in London before moving to Sweden in 2014 where he has directed an annual festival for ‘other music’ in Stockholm called Edition and runs Fönstret — releasing music by local artists and surfacing material from the festival’s archives.
His solo recording Tomorrow is too late (October 2019, ROOM40) was originally commissioned by INA GRM for the 2018 Présences Électronique festival in Paris. His most recent release Hell or High Water (2023) is a collaboration with Daniel M Karlsson for computer controlled analog synthesis.
Johannes Lund is a Danish artist focussing on sound and performance. In 2001 he started yoyooyoy, a music collective, with fellow musicians Andreas Führer, Anders Meldgaard and Toke Mortensen. yoyooyoy turned out to be the centre of Lund’s career the following years and within the collective he played in the groupes Fjernsyn Fjernsyn, Slütspürt, Yoke & Yohs, G.E.K., Forkert and Sumo Freunds.
Lund’s solo releases go against the normal assumptions of how a saxophone sounds. Having worked with guitar players Lund’s developed a characteristic sound, using intensity, persistence and endurance as main effects.
Along with performing Lund has always been involved with arranging shows in the Copenhagen underground scene. In 2010 he started a venue for experimental and extreme music together with Sune Nielsen, Tobias Kirstein and Maria Bertel, called Mayhem. Mayhem gained a high international reputation and became a centre for the experimental music scene in Denmark.
