algovoice is a concert program taking place at Norbergfestival - and previously in May at Fylkingen in Stockholm and Inkonst in Malmö - exploring the intersection between voice and algorithmic composition in the context of contemporary experimental electronic music.

For algovoice eight Swedish and international artists are brought together and will present works created with the help of AI and machine learning or through innovative use of classical voice and singing techniques.

The voice is probably the oldest form of human musical expression while algorithmic computer composition is the latest. In the meeting between these two ways of creating music, questions about how biology and low-tech relate to the artificial and high-tech are reflected. In contemporary electronic music, voice has become an increasingly common expression, a means of adding personal colour and humanity to an increasingly automated and laptop-based production flow. At the same time, it has also become more common for artists to rely on automated workflows by creating algorithms and artificial agents that can be unleashed creatively. Here the use of algorithmic programming techniques instead becomes liberating and a means of challenging the prevailing hierarchical norms in how the composer’s role in the creative process is viewed. How we respond to the tension between flesh and silicone is essential to our future – what kind of cyborgs do we want to become?

algovoice at Norbergfestival presents Charmaine Lee, Daniel M Karlsson, Feronia Wennborg & Martyna Basta.

algovoice is presented with support from the Swedish Arts Council and in collaboration with Fylkingen - New Music and Intermedia Art.

asta fugazi represents all things off: off-kilter, off grid, and totally off the hook. With a background in contemporary dance and years of carpentry experience asta provides playfully crafted pounding and pulsating tribal rhythms that melt minds and bend bodies all kinds of ways. One foot in rowdy free parties out in the bush, another in dirty clubs, one arm in the calm countryside.

Rarely doing anything by the book, her DIY approach shines through in all aspects of her creative output. It doesn’t have to be complicated, but free.

Daniel M Karlsson is a composer focused primarily on texture and timbre. He works extensively with algorithmic composition. He is a Marxist transhumanist singularitarian meaning his biggest short-term goal is Economic Democracy for everyone. A simpler wording would be “everything for everyone”. Practical breakdown includes, but is not limited to: Free access to food, housing, clothing, education, transportation and computation. He is entirely anti-capitalist and regards any and all speculation as fundamentally unacceptable. His biggest long-term goal is a fun times fully automated luxury space communism with optional mind uploading for all.

Krakow-based artist Martyna Basta’s diaristic sound shapes a delicate atmosphere that balances lush and haunting.

Classically trained in guitar, the Polish composer escaped academia at the age of 18, replacing her native instrument with a synth. She soon developed a unique way of composing, involving modulated voice, electronics, and field recordings.

This radical transformation was captured on her first album Making Eye Contact with Solitude released on the Slovak label Warm Winters, which introduced her as part of a new wave in the European experimental scene.

After the release of her debut, she reached back for acoustic instruments like guitar and zither, establishing her unique electro-acoustic tone.

Martyna Basta is presented as part our algovoice concert programme - exploring the intersection of the voice and algorithmic composition, in the context of contemporary experimental electronic music. algovoice is presented with support from the Swedish Arts Council and in collaboration with Fylkingen.

Matriark is the carwrecker from Sarpsborg hitting all the notes in your spectrum like a snail in the sand. Never get bored with this feeling cause its just the beginning. A hopeless position between euphoric hope and restless mystique.

Informationstechno from a Sweden of the past, filtered through retro-futuristic incredulity. Motormännen make techno and acid based on samples from politicians, news clips and Christer Glenning from the end of the cold war era. Inhibitions were relaxed and new, foreign influences crept into the body of society and the old information monopolies. Motormännen’s tracks are visually enhanced by video material from the 1970’s and 80’s. Firmly rooted in the underground of the Swedish techno scene, the band has still managed to reach outside the usual sphere with their morose take on culture and society through late 20th century history.

Motormännen released their debut album “Informationstechno” on cassette in 2014 and has since followed up with two critically acclaimed LP’s and a number of EP’s and singles on Lamour Records. They have twice been nominated for best Swedish dance album of the year at Manifestgalan. In 2016 they released a remix album with edits by prominent Swedish techno outfits such as Manic Brothers and Nima Khak.

Hailing from a background of a diverse range of musical styles, My Gander developed her interest in electronic music during high school. The early crude techno and trance sounds became an important foundation to her style. Cutting her teeth at venues, clubs and festivals in Stockholm before moving down south, her style as a DJ and producer is characterized by a raw soundscape and fast pace – yet with an inherent swing and vibrancy.

Besides being part of BunkerBauer, My holds the recurrent club event Pater Noster at Den Anden Side together with Matriark.

From the spores underneath the Malmö city freaktown emerges a funky fungus best translated into Swenglish as Mögela. With a vast and vivid fantasy world living inside her mind since being a kid, she has always tried to find new ways to express what she sees to everyone else.

Since a few years ago Mögela has been creating musical stories in the form of DJ performances at local parties in the sewers and basements of Malmö, sometimes for many consecutive hours. She is also known to have written some incredibly weird and equally beautiful pieces of music of her own that have had many freaks in tears on the dancefloor.

When childlike wonder, melancholy, arousal and a bit of sleep deprivation all collide, no eye is left dry.

The Richmond, Virginia duo Prison Religion consists of friends Parker Black and Warren Jones.

Their sound is a genuine reaction to the world around them: we are already in the apocalypse. Where once Prison Religion’s songs looked out to space, on their most recent album, Hard Industrial Bop, the pair have fallen back to earth, defecting against the laws of a war-torn planet, fighting against an impenetrable world order of known abusers and fear. This is manifested in the caustic wall of sound, heavy beats sounding like public gunshots, mumbled screams like breaking glass, thumping flourishes of techno or weighty drones. Like hard bop challenged established jazz back in the 1950s, their latest record is one that channels the exploratory nature of jazz, constantly subverting and up-ending where you think the duo’s music will take you at any given moment.

We're very exited to have Prison Religion performing at 303 for Norbergfestival 2024.

"They are the inner voices, the spirits that animate, the ghosts crawling behind closed eyes. They have always been there, originate from deep down and come and go with the tides of emotions; They whisper through the electronic waves; doorway for unspoken words quietly waiting to be born. They closely watched the wind amplifying its howl through the crack of a door, the vehemence of the waterfall when it hits the stone, the vociferous statement of a mountain in its avalanche. They learnt and chose to replicate running through the wires of machines. Spirits do dream, and this is a translation of their dreams. From the soothing ones, to the nightmares, to the incomprehensible impressions of a world obeying different sonic laws."

Actress, vegetable grower, music producer, vocalist and DJ, French Ghanaian artist Pauline Bedarida aka PÖ produces music evoking vocal experimentations that contrasts with her fiery and uplifting dj sets; a universe filled with tracks that range from ghostly ambient to post punk club tunes and acapella polyphonies. Her debut album Cociage was released in 2023 under the label Hakuna Kulala. The album is an expression of the darker and more introspective side of her and a statement of independence and multiplicity that evokes her own complex identity.

Ecstacy by song, ecstacy by repetition - perpetual peaks, uplifted and otherworldly. In the place where eternity stands right-angled to time XTC sings the XIV century in everlasting euphoria.

The first experiments in polyphonic harmony are heard through the prism of electronic music. Samples of old compositions are looped and resung, the limits of the acoustic world are voided and notes resound forever. Linear structure fades and new shapes appear.

XTC in the XIV started as a sample based project using time stretching, pitch shifting and club music narrative conventions on early vocal polyphony: it saw its first release on Cease2Exist in 2022.

Today XTC in the XIV is a vocal ensemble recreating sampled loops through a combination of song and live electronics. The group has performed at Nonagon festival, in Hemse curated by Gotlands Konstmuseum, in Visby Cathedral and at Ställbergs Gruva as part of a residency with Örebro Län. Material has also been presented at Assemblage saas*fee pavillon in Frankfurt. The group is currently recording an album for Supertraditional records and will perform and record for A Sudden Point of Balance.
