Tijana Stanković, solo
Sofia Jernberg & Mette Rasmussen, duo
Forkelid/Hielm/Carlsson, trio

Though a dedicated free improviser, Stanković’s background in folk and Ethnomusicology puts her in touch with an ancient emotional syntax. Her key tools - violin and vocals - both yearn with an organic and creaking fragility, tied irrevocably to old cultures.Her solo album "Freezer" was published in 2020 for the Slovakian record label LOM.

The duo of Sofia Jernberg and Mette Rasmussen has been ongoing since 2017.

"a performance of astonishing breadth and variety, which at times seems scarcely believable that it could have come from just two sets of lungs."

"blur the lines between saxophone and voice."

Sofia Jernberg
Singer and composer, born in Ethiopia in 1983 and currently based in two cities: Oslo, Norway and Stockholm, Sweden. As a singer she is developing the “instrumental” possibilities of the voice. Sofia’s singing vocabulary includes sounds and techniques that often contradict a natural singing style. She has dug deep into split tone singing, pitchless singing and distorted singing.

Mette Rasmussen is a Danish saxophone player based in Trondheim, Norway. She works in the field of improvised music, drawing from a wide range of influences, spanning free jazz to textural soundwork. Rasmussen works on exploring the natural rawness of her instrument - experimenting on what the saxophone is capable of in sound and expression, with and without preparations.

Album release show!

Recorded days before public concerts were to be put on a hold, this LP contains a deep and powerful live-performance by saxophonist Elin Forkelid (Attack, Oya Sextett), electric bassist Gustaf Hielm (collaborator with bands such as Mats/Morgan Band, Meshuggah, Pain of Salvation) and drummer Erik Carlsson (Skogen, Festen) – performing before an excited audience in winter-time Stockholm. One extensive and cohesive take of intense and dynamic free-jazz from a trio that performed together for the first time this evening, the music is breathing with all the positive vibrations and unexpected musical turns these kinds of first-meetings can generate. The release also marks the launch of FRIM Records, a label under the Stockholm-based concert organizer FRIM (active since 1976).
