Göran Månsson - Flutes

Photobucket

Göran Månsson plays flutes, pipes and recorders. Göran currently ranks as one of the most exciting and dynamic flute players on the Swedish folk music scene. He comes from the town of Haverö in Norrland in the north of Sweden. As a descendant of one of Sweden's celebrated folk music families, Göran is actively furthering the Swedish folk music heritage. Göran performs with the folkmusic group Gjallarhorn and also the folk-pop group Sarek which was one of the artists in Eurovision song contest 2004. Other groups: Göran Månsson Band, Frispel and Månsson & Åberg.

Mon (Nordic Tunes), released Japan in June 2006, and September 2006 in Sweden, is Göran Månssons second solo album. What is quite uniqe with this production is the meeting beetween Göran and guitarplayer Roger Tallroth (Väsen, Ann-Bjorg Lien etc.), who also is the co producer. Two innovative and strong musical personalities together on this cd. 'Mon' was nominated for the Manifest price in 2007.

Göran is very much in demand as a session musician for both early music and folk-pop recordings and has toured the world as a percussionist and flute player. He is a graduate of the Royal College of Music in Stockholm and teaches at Ingesund College of Music in Arvika and the Royal College of Music..s Department of Folk Music in Stockholm.


Petter Berndalen - Percussion

Photobucket

Petter Berndalen has turned the accepted conditions and past norms of drum playing up-side-down. He is fascinated by the melodic function of solo fiddle performers of Swedish folk music, and this forms the basis for his playing. His goal is not to play something that fits in with folk music, but rather to play something that undoubtedly IS folk music. He achieves this by studying solo fiddle players and applying every minute detail to his percussion playing.

An important question within his work is how central aspects of melody, such as hierarchical form and phrasing, melodic contour, ornamentation, etc. can be represented percussion playing on a drum kit where precise pitch transitions are not possible. Other important questions concern how to capture the rhythmic and metrical flexibility and ambiguity of Swedish traditional fiddle music on an instrument in which the rhythmic expression is precise and explicit. In his work, Petter explores the artistic possibilities in this translation based on the idea that this is really solo percussion music.


Daniel Ek - Strings

Photobucket

Daniel is from the begining a blues/rock guitarplayer from the northen part of Sweden who suddenly felt in love in the classicalguitar. He has studied for Professor Jan-Olov Eriksson in the scool of music in Piteå and graduaded 2001 as one of his top students.

From his very young years Daniel always loved Swedish folkmusic and after his graduation in Piteå -01 he became more and more interested on how to play the Swedish fiddle tunes on the guitar. To day Daniel is one of the leding folkmusic guitarists in Sweden and you can hear influences of both calssical and rock music in his playing. Besides playing with Göran and Petter Daniel also perform with the Swedish folkmusik group Ranarim.

In his playing Daniel uses both his classicalguitar and a steelstringed guitar with a open tuning (ADADAD).

Göran Månsson kommer nu ut med sin andra soloskiva….Det här är alldeles ohyggligt bra.

Göran Månsson

Mon

Göran Månsson spelar diverse flöjter (som Härjedalspipa, norsk sjöflöjt och blockflöjt) ihop med gitarristen Roger Tallroth. Ibland tillkommer akustisk bas och slagverk. De spelar i
och ur, med och utanför traditionen. Spännande att följa deras gemensamma sökande efter
både traditionen och det egna uttrycket.



Photobucket

Som konsert var kvällen hellyckad Om jag får välja nämna en enda av kvällens många låtar, så väljer jag en av de avslutande, en schottis för subkontrabasblockflöjt, Görans egen komposition.
Det blev en lek med det till utseendet säregna instrumentets speciella möjligheter, bland annat med spel på klaffarna utan lufttryck. Allteftersom stycket utvecklade sig med biträde av medspelarna så hann det få olika karaktärer, både som nutida klassisk experimentell musik och lite av rockmusik också, men det var det enda tillfället under kvällen som det fanns en rockinfluens.

Folkmusiken lever stark inom sin egen tradition!

Svängigt och ”hot” … Göran Månsson är en av dessa nydanare inom folkmusiken. Som flöjtist har han utvecklat blockflöjtsmodellen och specialbyggt flera stycken. Därigenom får han fram en massa nya ljud som bara blir så spännande.

Eftersom det var så otroligt svängigt och ”hot” för att använda jazztermer var det svårt att tro att det faktiskt var till exempel en schottis i grunden.

”Han smeker och attackerar folkmusiken som en frisinnad jazzsolist.
Giganten Roland Kirk skulle ha jublat sig illblå av entusiasm.”
