Hypnosarium #1
Jonatan Liljedahl & Marcus Nordgren
Musik och ljus för horisontellt läge. Stig ner i strömmen mellan yttre och inre gränstillstånd, genom skymning och gryning i landskap av drömmar och glömska.
Music and light for horizontal position. Descend into the stream between outer and inner liminal states, through twilight and dawn in landscapes of dreams and oblivion.
Premiered at KKV Bohuslän 5 & 6 March 2022 during Bottnafjorden Glöder.
Music and sound by Jonatan Liljedahl. Room experience, lights and scenography by Marcus Nordgren.

Ascidiacea
Henrik Olsson & Jonatan Liljedahl
Jonatan Liljedahl: Lyra-8
Henrik Olsson: stringed cymbal and friction piezo elements.
The way of the Ascidiacea.
Born as part of the fauna. A larva using its Ganglion for moving around, making choices, finding its way. The Ganglion consists of crossing and overlapping nerve fibers similar to the human peripheral nervous system. A brain-like knot of information.
The Ganglion will guide the Ascidiacea to a good place, a firm rock where it gets a solid grip on life. A place that provide what’s needed. Once that place is found, on the bottom of the sea, the Ganglion is regressed in order to save energy. The Ascidiacea is then a part of the flora.
When the active animal have sorted out where to go in order to live a good life based on its personal needs, the brain regenerates and the larva turns into a plant. As if there’s a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away.
Tranquility is courage in repose.

METRICS
Jonatan Liljedahl
Recorded in 2013, exploring a concept of modulated rhythms, where time changes speed in regular patterns, the interference causing pseudo-irregular results. Inspired by Mark Fell’s Multistability and a lecture about “oval” rhythms by Sten Sandell.

Solaris
Arrias / Liljedahl
Johan Arrias: wind instruments
Jonatan Liljedahl: electronics.
“Det låter fantastiskt. Ansatsen är avvaktande som ett nyfiket handslag. Liljedahl bäddar med elektroniska ljudlager som Arrias mikroatonalt flyter mellan och ovanpå. Det är statistiskt, starkt, stickigt.” – soundofmusic.nu
Recorded at EMS in Stockholm, 2010.

Iridium
Jonatan Liljedahl
“Jonatan Liljedahl is working with adding sounds into complex footprints. But while the sound itself is vertical, given their many layers and richness, the musical developments are mostly horizontal. It behaves preferably in length and is beneficial to operate in time.” – soundofmusic.nu
