Lalle Larsson - A Portrait - Trailer - Seven Deadly Pieces DVD 2008
Swedish pianist/composer Lalle Larsson's music have been described as beautiful, virtuostic and a bit melancholic. He has mixed a timeless jazz sound with modern classical composition, musical experimentalism, heartfelt romanticism and a fiery energy that hints at his teenage love of heavy metal. His unique playing style has made some of his recordings cult collectors’ items the world over.
Lalle has recorded and/or performed with Karmakanic, Electrocution 250, Ominox, Richard Hallebeek Project and TimeLine.
A DVD of his own groundbreaking live concert for chamber orchestra & electric guitars, Seven Deadly Pieces, (featuring members from the highly acclaimed thrash metal band Darkane) is in the works (release in November 2008) and will feature a documentary about Lalle as well as live clips from different gigs in Europe with Ominox, Karmakanic & Richard Hallebeek.
Outside of Sweden Lalle is perhaps more known as Lale Larson and he has appeared on over 20 CDs over the years alongside people like Gary Willis, Virgil Donati, Shawn Lane, Brett Garsed, Sebastiaan Cornelissen, Richard Hallebeek, Todd Duane, Peter Wildoer, Sir Millard Mulch, Phi Yaan Zek, Marco Minnemann, Frans Vollink, Randy Brecker to mention but a few.
