Eliad Wagner and Johannes Bergmark on their piece 'ghost operations':
ghost operations is an instant composition derived in ohrenhoch and arranged for this specific space and the sounds system "Bassbox" within.Since improvised music is much about the space and situation it takes place in (and quite hard to detach from) we decided that the best way to exhibit sounds in ohrenhoch Geräuschladen would be to create and capture them at the space, using the "Bassbox" speaker system installation and the different room acoustics. In that way, since our improvised actions take much from the environment we are in, the space shapes the musical outcome in a similar way to a score. The music was born here and never left. It is heard here in exactly the same way we heard it when it was composed. You are subjected to it just as we are.
Johannes Bergmark makes musical object theatre with an evolutionary meta-instrument or amplified stage called the Platform. With his main activity as an improvising musician, experimental musical instruments, sound sculptures/-installations/-environments maker and electroacoustic- and text-sound-composer, he has developed over butoh, jester theatre and performance art into a kind of audiovisual object theatre performed as a concert but with a setting as a surrealist puppet play of toys, tools, kitchen utensils, materials, weird and kitch decorative things and junk found on streets and flea markets.
JB has toured internationally since he graduated as a piano builder 1996. He also lectures,makes pedagogical projects and workshops, usually focusing on untraditional acoustics, traditional crafts and basic sound technology.
He resides in Stockholm, where he is active in the association for radical and experimental art, Fylkingen (chairman twice), at the Electronic Music Studio, in the swedish skeptics' association Vetenskap och Folkbildning and The Surrealist Group in Stockholm.
