Tandem Musca Cacavit in Australia Under en lång tid fick mitt komponerande stå tillbaka för sådant som livespelningar, mastringsjobb, videoredigering. Det berodde varken på att det saknades tid för att komponera eller brist på idéer eller inspiration, utan det blev bara inte av. Men till slut insåg jag att det var hög tid att omsätta mina idéer och ta itu med komponerandet. Resultatet blev Tandem Musca Cacavit som av bara farten fortsatte att växa och blev till Tandem Musca Cacavit in Australia och uruppfördes vid BIFEM festivalen i Australien 2019. Ordagrant betyder titeln “äntligen sket flugan” och är ett latinskt uttryck för att man kommer till skott med något man skjutit upp under en längre tid.

Sten-Olof Hellström Inga samplingar, ljudfiler, presets eller sequencers – bara ren syntes har alltid varit Sten-Olof Hellströms motto. 2013 firade han trettio år som professionell tonsättare genom att doktorera i komposition vid University of Huddersfield, Storbritannien, med avhandlingen ”Algorithmically-driven synthesis and feedback system: an studying into the estetic and technical processes in my composal practice. ” Efter sin doktorsexamen började han experimentera med fältinspelningar. Tio år senare hade han dock återvänt till sina rötter och nu konstruerar han i huvudsak sina egna ljud från grunden.

Tandem Musca Cacavit in Australia For a long time, my composing had to take a backseat to live gigs, mastering jobs, video editing, etc. It wasn't because there wasn't time to compose or that I lacked ideas or inspiration, but it just didn't happen. But in the end I realized that it was high time to implement my ideas and tackle composing. The result was Tandem Musca Cacavit, which from momentum I gained continued to grow and became Tandem Musca Cacavit in Australia and premiered at the BIFEM festival in Australia in 2019. Literally, Tandem Musca Cacavit means ”the fly has finally taken a shit” and is a Latin expression for finally getting something done that has been put off for a long time.

Sten-Olof Hellström No samples, sound-files, presets or sequencers just pure synthesis has always been Sten-Olof Hellström’s motto. In 2013 Sten-Olof celebrated thirty years as a professional composer by obtaining a PhD in composition at University of Huddersfield, UK, with the thesis entitled ”Algorithmically-driven synthesis and feedback system: an investigation into the aesthetic and technical processes in my compositional practice ” After his PhD he started to experimented with field recordings. Ten years later he had however returned to his roots and now he mainly constructs his own sounds from scratch. https://stenolofhellstrom.se/
