About Petter Eldh
Petter Eldh’s musical passion was formed at three points in his youth: when, at the age of 9, he discovered The Chronic by Dr. Dre, when he first heard Charlie Parker at the age of 13 and when he attended a Peter Brötzmann concert. The Swedish experimentalist has poured his creativity into the ever-evolving band ‘Koma Saxo’ in recent years. Eldh is also part of several groups and projects, most notably Enemy (along with Kit Downes and James Maddren), Y-Otis and Gard Nilssen’s Acoustic Unity.
REFLEX
In REFLEX we invite makers to reflect on the world and its society. For the series, Petter Eldh transforms his band Koma Saxo into ‘Kammar Koma’. As Eldh describes: “We’ll be playing intricate and lush structures without the sonically dreadful interference of drums. As a big lover of the drums, the recording of this concert will serve as a sample library for future productions where drums can and will be added to the mix.” The concert on the night will be live experience, while simultaneously recirculating and deconstructing older projects, and collecting material for the future. “Yes, it’s a performance, yes, it’s a studio recording.” states the double bassists. “I want to open up a dialogue with the conventions of what a concert is and its purpose. Where does it exist in the trajectory of all my other music? Where does the specific music presented at this concert actually begin, and how many new iterations of the material can be produced?”
REFLEX is supported by Ammodo.
