"What kind of music do you play?" Now, they don't have my category of music up as an option here yet, I like to call it Nordic Blues. I play guitar in FULMINATE TRIO: a guitartrio that through original pieces of music of various compositional/improvisational designs evoke sonic poltergeists and other intense forces w. Michael Evans-drums, electronics, various instruments & Ken Filiano-bass + electronics. ANDERS NILSSON'S AORTA (my Swedish band - we play my compositions and/or make it up on the spot), FAY VICTOR ENSEMBLE (original works where lyrics and vocal/instrumental flights are interwoven) GUNNAR: 30-somethings guitartrio making sludgy sounds, with mouths open on ocassion w. Reid Taylor-el.bass, Madhu Siddappa-drums), IN THE OZONE: freedom with one of a kind-drummer Tom Bruno & bassist Matt Heyner, UNDER SATAN'S SUN, JÖTNAR, MANAPE, as well as in other constellations that my blog and gig list will keep you abreast of. I also enjoy doing SOLO guitar performances and recordings.

The heaviest influence you can get is going to see something live and getting a kick out of it, a LIVE performance that blows you away/touches you! B.B. King at Nordform, Malmö '90, Pharaoh Sanders at the Knitting Factory '99, an all-night flamenco festival in a village outside of Granada, Spain '01, Michael Evans/Susan Hefner at Roulette '05, Fred Frith solo at the Stone '06 - stand out. Much respect to my family, collaborators, and great friends, People who mean what they say + listen and are able to be flexible and re-evaluate every day, Articulation, surprises, paradoxes, things people say, nature, freaks. Musicians:.........Guitarists: Buddy Guy, Debashis Bhattacharya, Frank Zappa, Fred Frith, John McLaughlin, Kirk Hammett, Peter Green, Raoul Björkenheim, Sonny Sharrock, Yngwie Malmsteen and more......Anton Webern, Aretha Franklin, Univers Zero, Bernard Herrmann, Kebnekaise, Black Sabbath, Elvin Jones, Gary Peacock, Jack DeJohnette, Keith Jarrett, Loincloth, Los Muñequitos de Matanzas, Mccoy Tyner, The Melvins, Meshuggah, Miles Davis, Mustafa Kandirali, J.S. Bach,Olivier Messiaen, Pharoah Sanders, Radka Toneff, Tony Clifton along with several lesser known greats and originals, some of with which I play. A select few important records I've listened to very, very much include:
John Coltrane Quartet "The European Tour" (recorded live in Stockholm in 1963), Frank Zappa "Joe's Garage" a masterpiece!, Anton Webern "6 Pieces for Orchestra" (opus 6) performed by the Berlin Philharmonic conducted by Karajan. Anything can be an influence - a comment, taste, bad taste, new experiences, articulate subversive action is influential, Vikings (I guess), Twin Peaks, film noir in general, Sture Dahlström, Henry Miller, Bruce Lee, clothing, pinball, food, cooking, wines, focus, qi-gong, dedication, one-liners, ladies, gore and so on...........My ruling planet is Ecstasy!

"Swedish Sultry Swagger" - Thurston Moore "Nilsson's shimmering axe evokes a dimensional warp." -Signal to Noise "Nilsson has a very personal style and a tone unlike any American jazz player I can think of." -All About Jazz
Born in 1974, raised in Eslöv, Sweden. Started out with rock, metal, american blues and Zappa records, learning songs and solos, took lessons and acquired a lifelong hunger and dedication for more musical discoveries. After Jazz studies at Malmö Academy of Music and irregular work as a free-lancing musician in Scandinavia I moved to New York in 2000. Since then I have collaborated with many players/artists on the experimental scene in the city such as Ken Filiano, Michael Evans, Sabir Mateen, Daniel Carter, Raoul Björkenheim, Matt Heyner, Kermit Driscoll, Evan Gallagher, Jeff Arnal, Tom Bruno, Ras Moshe, William Parker, Eugene Chadbourne and many more. Most of these projects have dealt with improvisation to the utmost degree. Fulminate Trio is Michael Evans/Ken Filiano/myself. Our s/t cd release on Generate Records is here! Anders Nilsson's Aorta is my Swedish band incl. Mattias Carlson-saxophones, David Carlsson-electric bass, and Peter Nilsson (my brother)-drums. The band plays original compositions and collective improvisations delivered with incredible conviction and magic. (3 cd's to date) To get more samples or to buy them, click on these images: "Blood"
& "Janus"
I'm working in Europe periodically with AORTA and other combos on the horizon. Have composed and performed music for dance - Akira Kasai's "Butoh America", various short films and theatre plays.

Dude, the new pieces are brilliant. Back Alley really captures a unique mood, and sort of melds a few emotions together. Axe has some really great lead guitar stuff.
Join us for our African/Hungarian Doublehader at Drom
Jumbie Records presents: Kakande and MetróFolk as they team up for a unique night of West African and Hungarian dance music.

The East Village will never be the same!
Hej, tack för add. Har lyssnat på dina låtar, tunga grejer, men lite kort för att man ska komma in i musiken kanske. Kom att tänka på Aura - en Milesplatta från 80-talet. Längtar till NYC Hälsn. Kari www. karismamusik. se
