Mattias Windemos + Raymond Strid
Mattias Windemos och Raymond Strids samarbete började redan 2005 då de hade bosatt sig några mil från varandra och träffades genom en gemensam bekant.

De började snart att jamma, först som trio tillsammans med pianisten Mattias Risberg,Windemo spelade då elgitarr och musiken hade vi den tiden mer karaktären av frijazz.

Efter ett tag utkristalliserades en duo med Windemo och Strid som fokuserade mer på friimpro och en helt akustiskt instrumentering. Duon har sedan dess jammat regelbundet och samtidigt haft kreativa samtal då de utvärderat och arbetat med sitt spel. De genomgående teman som de haft är, musikens kreativa mellanrum, klang, detaljspråk, form och frasering.

Medan Windemo mer har sina rötter i jazz och konstmusik har Strid sin bakgrund i fri improviserad musik, detta har varit berikande för duon och bidragit till att ge duon sin särprägel och sound.

Både MW och RS är kända som två av våra mest etablerade svenska musiker på sina respektive områden. Raymond har spelat med musiker som Barry Guy, Evan Parker, Paul Lytton, Mats Gustavsson. Han medverkar b.l.a i grupperna Gush och the electrics.

Mattias har spelat med musiker som Karin Krogh, Joakim Milder, Mats Öberg, Rigmor Gustavsson och medverkar b.l.a i grupperna Flux (Windemo, Landin, Fält) och WE (Windemo, Axelsson , Lindal).

Mattias Windemos and Raymond Strid's cooperation began in 2005 when they lived close to each other and met by a common acquaintance. They soon started jamming, first as a trio with pianist Mattias Risberg. At that time Windemo played the electric guitar and the music had more of a character of free jazz. After a while, a duo with Windemo and Strid was crystallized, focusing more on free impro and a completely acoustic instrumentation. The duo has since then been jamming regularly and at the same time having creative conversations about music together.

The overall themes in their discussions have been, interpretations, the power in between the notes, the importance of form in music etc.
Raymond has played with musicians like Barry Guy, Evan Parker, Paul Lytton, Mats Gustafsson. He also participates in groups as Gush and The Electrics and many more.

Mattias has played with musicians like Karin Krogh, Joakim Milder, Mats Öberg, Lindha Kallerdal, Rigmor Gustavsson, and also participates in groups like Flux (Windemo, Landin, Fält) and WE (Windemo, Axelsson, Lindal) etc.

Karin Ingves is a Swedish pianist and composer. She is currently studying at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm, where she mainly works with free and structured improvisation.
