Electrobusking had it&#8217;s premiere August 21, 2010 when Kymatica, LM393, Sloppy Science and The Bird Who Fell To Earth took electronica to the streets. The project was a collaboration with Vice Magazine and the annual Grolsch Blockparty.</p>
<p>This is what it sounded like:<br />

<p>Interview with the artists about playing electronica on the streets:</p>
<p>LM393</p>
<p>Hur är du som liveartist? Expressiv knapptryckare eller introvert reglagefinjusterare?<br />
- Skulle nog säga att jag är en introvert expressiv reglagefinjusterare!<br />
Vad kommer du spela med för utrustning?<br />
- Det blir mest analoga prylar som går på batteri.<br />
Vilken är din absolut viktigaste pryl?<br />
- En gammal Roland TB-303.<br />
Vilken är den största utmaningen inför att bli gatumusikant?<br />
- Att ha så lite saker som möjligt, som gör så mycket ljud som möjligt.<br />
Kommer du på något sätt uppmana till donationer? Vad kommer du i avsaknad av gitarrcase i så fall samla upp pengarna i?<br />
- En gammal laptopväska kanske…<br />
Tror du att elektronika har någon framtid som gatumusik?<br />
- Jag tror nog att i framtiden så kommer det stå folk på västerlånggatan med en laptop och en liten förstärkare.</p>
<p>THE BIRD WHO FELL TO EARTH</p>
<p>Expressiv knapptryckare eller introvert reglagefinjusterare?<br />
– Jag tror att det krävs lite av varje, men jag gillar att ha lite kontakt med publiken när jag spelar och inte stå böjd och stirra på rattarna som en techno-makaron hela tiden.<br />
Vad kommer du spela med för utrustning?<br />
– Jag kommer ta med mig min 808, som är världens bästa trummaskin, någon synth och ett delay. Det gäller ju att slimma utrustningen på gatan.<br />
Din absolut viktigaste pryl? – Min trummaskin, den är som en funky pansarvagn, med den kan det inte bli fel.<br />
Vilken är den största utmaningen inför att bli gatumusikant?<br />
– Ja det är väl det där med att slimma sin utrustning. Jag gillar i och för sig att jobba med begränsningar, så det passar nog mig ganska bra egentligen. En annan utmaning är ju att fånga in publiken som kanske är på väg någon helt annanstans. Mitt mål är att förbipasserande helt plötsligt ska hamna mitt i en fest som de aldrig vill gå ifrån.<br />
Kommer du på något sätt uppmana till donationer? Vad kommer du i avsaknad av gitarrcase i så fall samla upp pengarna i?<br />
– Det hade jag inte direkt tänkt, men nu när du säger det så. Jag  kanske borde skaffa mig några dansande hatters som kan gå runt med sina mössor och samla in pengar?<br />
Tror du att elektronika har någon framtid som gatumusik?<br />
– Ja varför inte, det gäller bara att hitta en bra plats att stå på där man kan ställa upp sina grejer ordentligt. Sen är det bara att köra!</p>
<p>SLOPPY SCIENCE</p>
<p>Expressiv knapptryckare eller introvert reglagefinjusterare?<br />
- Det här är första gången jag spelar live som Sloppy Science, och trots att musikstilarna för mina olika alias skiljer sig kraftigt åt, kommer uppträdandet förmodligen vara snarlikt ett toymoelstrr-gig; loopade slingor som modifieras mer eller mindre konstant, medelst rattvridningar och knapptryckningar. Jag kommer högst sannolikt böja mina knän i takt till musiken också.<br />
Vad kommer du spela med för utrustning?<br />
- Just nu ser det ut som att jag kommer spela med ett gäng Roland-burkar; TR 606, TB 303, MC 202. Eventuellt tar jag med mig en Elektron Machinedrum UW också.<br />
Din absolut viktigaste pryl?<br />
- Viktigaste prylen i studion är Machinedrum UW, eftersom den styr det mesta. Viktigast live är TB 303. Den definierar ju i princip hela Acid-genren.<br />
Vilken är den största utmaningen inför att bli gatumusikant?<br />
- Vad som är den största utmaningen har jag inget direkt svar på, men det ska bli spännande att se om folk stannar för att höra hur låten utvecklar sig, eller om de bara stannar till, konstaterar att det låter likadant hela tiden och går igen.<br />
Kommer du på något sätt uppmana till donationer? Vad kommer du i avsaknad av gitarrcase i så fall samla upp pengarna i?<br />
- Har inte bestämt om jag ska uppmana till donationer, men om jag gör det blir det sannolikt den silvriga lilla Roland-väskan som får agera sparbössa.<br />
Tror du att elektronika har någon framtid som gatumusik?<br />
- Jag har svårt att se elektronikmusik som någon hit i gatumusiksbranchen, då det krävs någon form av ljudrigg, vilket brukar vara lite knöligt att släpa runt på i tunnelbanan.</p>
<p>KYMATICA</p>
<p>Hur är du som liveartist? Expressiv knapptryckare eller introvert reglagefinjusterare?<br />
- Jag är helt klart en introvert finjusterare.<br />
Vad kommer du spela med för utrustning?<br />
- Denna gång blir det bara en dator och en hemmabyggd controller.<br />
Vilken är din absolut viktigaste pryl?<br />
- Öronen.<br />
Vilket är den största utmaningen inför att bli gatumusikant?<br />
-Det svåraste blir nog att spela för en så ofokuserad publik, att fånga intresset hos människor som egentligen bara tänkte gå förbi.<br />
Kommer du på något sätt uppmana till donationer? Vad kommer du i avsaknad av gitarrcase i så fall samla upp pengarna i?<br />
-Det har jag inte tänkt på, det får väl bli laptop-fodralet eller en ryggsäck i så fall…<br />
Tror du att elektronika har någon framtid som gatumusik?<br />
- Det tror jag, men problemet är att det ofta behövs mer utrustning och att det inte alltid blir lika visuellt tilltalande som en akustisk musiker. Men jag hoppas på att vi får se fler elektroniska gatumusiker  framöver…</p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1649" title="trancelaysionsbigbild" src="http://hakanlidbo.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/trancelaysionsbigbild.jpg" alt="trancelaysionsbigbild" width="950" height="437" />Trancelaysions is about language in our new, digital world. SMS, twitter, and blogs have lowered the requirements for us to use the language correctly. Thanks to internet, we have access to a much larger amount of text than just a few years ago. Using trancelaysions, any text in any language can be processed by a chain of machine translators. In each translation missunderstandings and errors occur. When the text comes back to the original language, the result is often surprising, fun and inspiring. The language belongs to us humans but today we often trust the computer to translate. It is doing its best, but it’s definitely not an author. Trancelaysions is invented and designed by Håkan Lidbo and programmed by Jonatan Liljedahl.</p>

<p>August 10, 2010, the Stockholm Culture Festival and the opening of the new library at the ground floor of the Culture House had its grand opening. The loud and sometimes disturbing sounds from Stockholm joined forces, and together with a chamber music orchestra played The Sergel Symphony. Written and conducted by Håkan Lidbo. The symphony is a celebration to the city and it&#8217;s tempo, plurality and noise. The Sergel Symphony is a performance including:</p>
<p>1 violin (George Kentros)<br />
1 cello (Beata Söderberg)<br />
1 horn (Ayman Al Fakir)<br />
1 saxophone (Leif Karlborg)<br />
1 computer (Håkan Lidbo)<br />
120 choir singers (lead by Lasse Axelsson)</p>
<p>2 pneumatic rock drills (provided by Skanska, performed by Frida Kupsu and Erik Lund)<br />
1 police car with police men (The Stockholm Police Corps)<br />
hundreds of football supporters<br />
1 recycling bin played by 2 drummers (Liliana Zavala and Kristina Aspeqvist)<br />
5 motorcycles (She Devils MC)<br />
1 political spokesman (CK)<br />
3 vuvuzela players<br />
25 longboard skaters (Suburban Surfers)<br />
6 Parkour people (Le Parkour Academy)<br />
1 gypsy orchestra (Ekipaget)<br />
a great number of dancers (choreography by Lisette Drangert and Hanna Åhs)<br />
100 doves (Li Shu Lin and the Stockholm Race Pigeon Club)<br />
the bells of the S:ta Clara Church (rung by Kent Svensson)<br />
a great number of car horns (anyone who happens to pass by)<br />
40 footballs</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Swedish radio have commissioned a short musical piece for the vuvuzela, the much debated plastic horn known from the football World Championship in South Africa.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1484" title="vuvuzelabigbild" src="http://hakanlidbo.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/vuvuzelabigbild.jpg" alt="vuvuzelabigbild" width="950" height="437" />Swedish radio commissioned a short musical piece for the vuvuzela,  the cheap plastic horn that many think polluted the Football World Championship in South Africa.</p>
<p>This year the WC really had a sound, a never-ending drone that became the soundtrack of the whole tournament. Many people found this very annoying and the sound of the vuvuzela has been widely debated all over the World. In Sweden it has already been forbidden at football games. But the very fact that a musical instrument is a topic is highly unusual. Not since the introduction of the electric guitar has a single instrument been so discussed. The tonal quality of this instrument can also be discussed, or rather the lack of tonal quality. We will probably never see the vuvuzela as an instrument in a symphonic orchestra but it certainly deserves at least one serious piece of music that actually respects the vuvuzela and let it present itself in a new and more flattering context. Håkan Lidbo created a short musical piece that had it&#8217;s premiere play july 9th at Swedish Radio -- and then live at Swedish TV at the finals opening july 11.</p>
<p><span style="color: #999999;">Listen to Zuzuvela at Swedish Radio P2</span> <a href="http://sverigesradio.se/sida/artikel.aspx?programid=2480&amp;artikel=3844563">here</a>&#8230;</p>

<p>Håkan Lidbo&#8217;s album grf_rmibht9 comes from a project at Berghs School Of Communication in Stockholm. The students were given one track each, made by Håkan Lidbo, to make a visual interpretation. The most significant audio elements in the music should have  a visual counterpart and they should synch together. As all the songs play in the same tempo and the same key, all tracks on the album can be played on top of any other tracks. You can use this post as a DJ tool and mix any two tracks with perfect crossfades -- or layer as many tracks as your CPU can handle.</p>
<p>The DVD is also here. <a href="http://hakanlidbo.com/company-contact">Order it here!</a></p>

<p>Volt – festivalen för elektronisk musik</p>
<p>Uppsala Konsert &amp; Kongress. Lördag 5 juni 2010, 19.00-03.00</p>
<p>Festivalsommaren närmar sig och Volt – festivalen för elektronisk musik – släpper nya namn. Programmet är ännu starkare än förra året och det bjuds som vanligt på allt inom elektronisk musik. Lördag 5 juni från sju på kvällen till tre på natten pågår Volt på Uppsala Konsert &amp; Kongress.</p>
<p>När Voltfestivalen lanserades förra året var det många som jublade. Äntligen en stark svensk festival för elektronisk musik, äntligen en festival i Uppsala Konsert &amp; Kongress minimalistiska miljö – där musiken och arkitekturen fungerade i ett hundraprocentigt samspel – och äntligen en festival där konstinstallationer och smal experimentell musik blandas med dansgolvsrökare i händerna på DJ:s som vet hur en vinylskiva ska vändas.</p>
<p>Festivalen hyllades av medierna och blev en given favorit för många. Därför är det givetvis många som jublar även i år när Volt återvänder den 5 juni. Se det som den fulländade elektronikahändelsen. Eller se det som en bra start på en lång het festivalsommar. I vilket fall som helst finns det garanterat något för alla som gillar elektronisk musik.</p>
<p>Programmet fylls nu på med en rad starka DJ- och live-akter. Det ser ut att bli en händelsefull och svettig dag i Uppsala Konsert &amp; Kongress. Artister och DJ:s handplockas av UKK och Ström i P2. Räkna med det senaste, det hetaste, det bästa och det finaste inom elektronisk musik.</p>
<p>Det är med stor stolthet vi presenterar nedanstående namn till programmet. Fler artister tillkommer, men vi kunde inte hålla oss – spana in dessa bokningar!</p>
<p>Shinedoe (NL | Intacto | 100% Pure) Hennes funkiga minimaltechhouse har förtrollat lyssnare och kritiker världen över och hon har remixat storheter som Booka Shade och The Knife. Titeln på förra årets album No Boundaries på egna bolaget Intacto var en programförklaring: i Shinedoes pumpande dansmusik blir genrer ointressanta. Som DJ är hon minst lika eklektisk. Stilar, genrer, nytt och gammalt – allt får plats och bidrar till en oerhört svettig dansfest. Med Shinedoe bakom skivspelarna kommer Voltpubliken garanterat inte att kunna stå stilla.</p>
<p>Le Petit ORB (UK/GER) Alex Pattersons The Orb är stilbildande inom ambient, dub och techno. Med singeln Little Fluffy Clouds från 1990 skapade The Orb soundtracket till en hel generations klubbupplevelser i England och internationellt. Sedan några år tillbaka uppträder The Orb som Le Petit ORB, bestående av centralfiguren Alex Patterson och The Orb-medarbetaren (bland annat producent på The Orbs Pomme Fritz från 1994) Thomas Fehlmann. Räkna med dubbigt fluffiga rytmer och sköna harmonier när dessa legendariska män för första gången ställer sig på en svensk scen.</p>
<p>2562 (NL) Efter 2008 års Aerial och 2009 års Unbalance har 2562 ytterligare sett till att befästa Nederländerna som landet där den mest intressanta dubstepen görs. De båda albumen har hyllats av en enig kritikerkår och av en minst lika enig dubsteppublik. Känslan för sparsmakade arrangemang och stilfulla ljud har genererat kommentarer som ”musik från framtiden”. På Volt finns det alltså tillfälle att redan idag höra hur musiken kommer låta i framtiden.</p>
<p>AGF (GER) Antye Greye Fuchs har blivit en central kraft att räkna med inom electronican. Egensinnig, stark och utmanande är hon alltid. Vare sig det handlar om hennes roll som vokalist i tyska popduon Laub, eller som ena halvan av dansakten AGF/Delay. På egen hand bjuder AGF:s livekonserter på loopade elektroniska rytmer, samplade ljud och hennes egen röst. Under våren spelar Antye Greye Fuchs Orlando i en brittisk teateruppsättning av Virginia Woolfs kända roman. Men Volt vill hon inte missa eftersom hon älskar Uppsala och Sverige. Räkna därför med en extra taggad AGF på Volt.</p>
<p>B6 (CN) B6 kommer hela vägen från Shanghai i Kina för att medverka på Volt. Hans förmåga att blanda ambient, techhouse och hårdare techno har fått kinesiska klubbfanatiker att jubla. När albumet Post Haze släpptes 2008 stod det klart att Kina inte bara har fått sitt första riktigt stora inhemska dj-namn utan också en producent att räkna med. Förra året släpptes skivan i Europa och det dröjer garanterat inte länge förrän han är lika stor här som i sitt hemland. För de som tvivlar kommer spelningen på Volt garanterat visa varför kinesisk techno är minst lika bra som amerikansk eller europeisk.</p>
<p>The Field (Kompakt) När Axel Willner släppte tolvan Things Keep Falling Down på tyska Kompakt startade han sitt segertåg över världen. Året var 2005 och The Field var då en okänd stockholmsproducent. I och med albumen From Here We Go Sublime och Yesterday And Today har han dock blivit en av Sveriges största technoexporter under senare år. Från att tidigare ha använt sig av laptop när han spelade live är The Field idag en livetrio bestående av laptop/elektroniska instrument, trummor och bas. Att The Field är underbar på skiva men ännu underbarare på scen har folk runt hela världen insett. På Volt kommer The Field garanterat bjuda på en oförglömlig upplevelse för de som uppskattar både techno, krautrock och indiepop.</p>
<p>Kondens (Repeatle) Superpremiär för svensk dubstepduo på Volt! Var och en för sig har Andreas Tilliander (Mokira) och Stefan Thor (Folie) skapat kritikerhyllade mästerverk inom allt från noise, dub, techhouse till melodiös elektronika. Tillsammans gör de frätande tung technoinfluerad dubstep. Deras svettiga liveset kommer garanterat skapa kondens på både väggar och tak i hela UKK.</p>
<p>Pär Grindvik (Stockholm LTD | Drumcode | Spectral Sound) Vare sig det är på egna bolaget Stockholm LTD, eller på något annat, har Pär Grindviks techno ett helt unikt tonläge. Någon har kallat den ”episk techno”. Pär låter melodierna få ta tid att utvecklas och breda ut sig över den pumpande beatsoch basmattan. Detsamma gäller när Pär DJ:ar. Få kan som Pär Grindvik ge utrymme för berättande strukturer i musiken. Få kan skapa en liknande dramaturgi i sina livesets. Alltid hårt, men aldrig för hårt. Alltid med nerv och sinne för ögonblicket. På Volt kommer han att förtrolla våra sinnen och sätta fart på våra ben.</p>
<p>DJ Coolof (The Knife | Rabid Records) Coolof aka Olof Dreijer började spela drum &amp; bass och hiphop kring 1997. Sen dess har han rört sig från industriell techno och EBM till techno och house. Musiken kan vara hård och kall men också melodisk och känslig. Framförallt handlar det om hypnos som samtidigt kan överraska.</p>
<p>Roll The Dice (Digitalis Recordings) Debutalbumet kom tidigare under våren, men duon Roll The Dice är egentligen inga nykomlingar. Peder Mannerfelt har tidigare släppt techno i duon Van Rivers &amp; The Subliminal Kid. Han har också producerat många av låtarna på Fever Rays hyllade album. Malcolm Pardon har gjort filmmusik. Tillsammans skapar de sant analog elektronisk musik som hämtat inspiration från så skilda storheter som Arvo Pärt och Basic Chanel. Resultatet kan endast beskrivas som emotionellt, känslofullt och med den ständiga strävan att söka efter källan…</p>
<p>Volt Guitar Trio Volt Gitarrtrio är tonsättaren Mårten Josjös andra projekt som handlar om att framföra electronica i oväntade akustiska arrangemang. Förra året arrangerade han tre klassiska svenska technotolvor för Uppsalas stoltheter, kammarblåsorkestern Omnibus. I år kommer han och Volt Gitarrtrio framföra några av de mest betydelsefulla låtarna ur elektronikans långa historia. Det utlovas versioner av alltifrån The Orb till Autechre. Hur det kommer att låta på gitarr får bara den veta som kommer till Volt den 5 juni.</p>
<p>Aki Onda (JP/US) Musikern, kompositören, producenten, fotografen och multimediaartisten Aki Onda bor nuförtiden i Brooklyn, New York. Där arbetar han enträget vidare med sina huvudsakliga sysslor: elektronisk musik, ljudkonst och improviserad musik. Ett av hans mest kända verk är Kassettminnesprojektet – där han skapade en ljuddagbok baserad på field recordings som han samlat under mer än två decennier. Under Voltfestivalen kommer Aki Onda garanterat förtrolla publiken med sin egensinniga musik.</p>
<p>Håkan Lidbo (Ström i P2 | Tigerbeat 6 | Shitkatapult) När Håkan Lidbo spelar live handlar det om ilsken och skräpig electropunktechno. Med influenser från rak electro, fransk ny-house och gammeldags rave bakar han ihop musik som är hård, kantig, spretig och oerhört lekfull. Missa inte Håkan Lidbo live. Av alla skitiga influenser sätter han ihop vackra set som balanserar mot elektronisk galenskap. Men hela tiden med glimten i ögat.</p>
<p>Liminals Differnetmedlemmarna Tomas Bodén och Anna-Karin Brus gör i sidoprojektet Liminals musik för ”imaginära dansgolv”. Det säger de i alla fall själva. Men det stämmer inte riktigt. De som sett dem live vet att det också handlar om fysisk närvaro, köttiga acidrytmer och skir sång. Både högst närvarande och märkligt svävande. Deras musik fungerar lika bra för den där mäktiga, svällande lustkänslan i bröstet, som för hårda danspass för lårmusklerna. Med tolvan Hearthand (Friendly Noise) har de antytt det, live förverkligas det.</p>

<p>Funky Tuna<br />
Plakto (El-Ljud)<br />
Dj Planeten (Aromamusic)<br />

<p>April 24 2010, the citizens of Stockholm were asked to record the sound of Stockholm and come to Kulturhuset where 4 electronica producers took the recordings and remixed it into music. The event was a part of the Culture Night if Stockholm and also a follow-up project to Stockholm Noise. More info and music at www.oljudsthlm.se.</p>
<p>How does Stockholm sound in your ears? And how does music made from the sound of Stockholm sound?</p>
<p>During the city&#8217;s Culture Night sounds and noises will be music and you get to decide how it should sound! Starting in the Culture House, we are going sound hunting. Sound findings are then submitted to a bunch of electronica artists and suddenly Stockholm will sound different. The finale will be an improvised concert where your city noise has been transformed into exciting rhythms and sounds -- maybe music to dance to! A concert that sounds like Stockholm, but in a way that you&#8217;ve never heard the city before.</p>
<p>Stockholm Noise Live is a collaboration between Ljudverkstan / Lava and Stockholm Noise, which consists of the musician, music producer Hakan Lidbo and ethnologist Elin Franzen.</p>
<p>Participating artists:<br />
Noisebud is Sol Andersson and John Ahlberg. Sol has a background in both the techno collective Ana International Penetrator and in electro-acoustic music. Johanne has released 12 s on labels like Smuts and Stupid. Noisebud formed when they won a contest to remix Luke Slater’s track &#8216;Head Converter&#8217;.</p>
<p>Yourhighness is Johannes Wikström alias when he makes electro-acoustic music and sound art. In recent years, he composed music for a number of fashion and art films, including the fashion designers Nakkna and Whyred. Recently he made a sound installation for Acne in London. He also produces electronic disco together with Elias Raam in Ultra City, and runs the record label Roller Boys Recordings.</p>
<p>Hakan Lidbo has released over 200 records on labels worldwide, from obscure, crackling minimalism to the Eurovision Song Contest. He does radio show Ström and arranges the Voltfestivalen</p>
<p>If you want to film your visual interpretation of Stockholm as well, VJ Morrsken collects footage and for her VJ set during the evening.</p>

The music is created as you play  and it will help you to get  through the  game. Xoiiox is very easy to understand, the game and the pieces will explain themselves.  Just try it. To be a successful player, just as in life:</p>
<p>Play the game and feel the music.</p>

<p>Every year the radio show Ström give an assignement to Swedish producers of electronic music. This year the assignement is the most ambitious so far -- and the most complicated. They were given one future scenario each and their job was to create music the way it will sound in the future. The participating musicians are, except myself, Materia, Motoko Ishii, Noisebud, Mattias Petersson, Dom Dummaste, Leif Jordansson, Birdman, Copyparty, Joel Brindefalk, Peter Benisch, Hab and Liminals. Each peice of music from the future is presented in the radio show together with the scenarion. The future analyzist Pernilla Jonsson is the guest expert in the show.<a href="http://www.sr.se/p2/strom"> Here is the Ström Radio Show:</a></p>
<p>Here is one of the songs:</p>

<p><span style="color: #808080;">The Scenarios:</span></p>
<p><strong>01. Materia – Africasia</strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">The new imperialists.</span></p>
<p>The year is 2066. China has long since become the world’s largest economic power and Mandarin is the second language spoken in most countries. Due to Chinese investment, large parts of Africa have undergone industrialization and are responsible for the majority of global automobile production. Africa has become one of the world’s most popular tourist destinations, particularly among the Chinese middle class, due to its affordability and the fact that it is one of the only places in which wild animals can still be found. Chinese music dominates the world scene, with Africa being the exception. African music favored by Chinese tourists is especially popular with its blending of traditional Chinese folk music, Chinese pop and West African folk music.</p>
<p><strong>02. Mattias Petersson – 4m</strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">New economic superpowers.</span></p>
<p>The year is 2070. China, India and Brazil have long since passed the United States as global economic superpowers. Europe, with its shrinking population, is one of the poorest regions of the world, excepting Sweden, which due to a liberal immigration policy has managed to stay afloat. Chinese is now the second language used in Swedish schools and the majority of Swedes speak some Arabic, Hindi and Mandarin. Sweden has been a global leader in the field of electric car technology ever since Saab, after many ups and downs, finally merged with a Chinese-African automobile manufacturer. Sweden also leads in global music exports. Pop music has broken off into countless pop-isms and merged with art music. Genres ceased to exist with the emergence of complicated algorithms capable of analyzing listeners’ emotional reactions to music in order to optimize production accordingly. It is no longer possible to discuss the national characteristics of music as, in its eagerness for self-renewal it has been influenced by all music ever recorded. Google, based in Sweden, is the dominating producer of television, newspaper and film in addition to being the largest music production and distribution company.</p>
<p><strong>03. Birdman – Futura</strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Internet.</span></p>
<p>The year is 2064. The ubiquitous presence of the internet can be felt wherever human habitation is to be found. The majority of people have a computer chip and internet connection wired directly to their nervous systems. Online information can be accessed via thought at any time of day or night. It is now possible to listen to music via a chip implanted in the auditory nerve while books, film and images can be accessed through the optic nerve. IP addresses have replaced personal identity numbers and digital usage is paid for directly through the tax system. The majority of music is created inside the mind and then uploaded in order to make it available to others. Almost everyone is involved in the creation of music which they then share. Music has become the dominating worldwide hobby. Since style has completely disintegrated, music can no longer be categorized by genre or national characteristics.</p>
<p><strong>04. Liminals – The Swim</strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Global Warming.</span></p>
<p>The year is 2090. Climate change has drastically altered the earth, with large parts of Asia now below sea level. Earth’s human population is no longer increasing, but has halted at 12 billion inhabitants due to catastrophic famines, epidemics and wars fought over food resources. Southern Europe and the southern United States have suffered complete desertification. Northern Europe has, on the other hand, managed relatively well though its inhabitants have been forced to completely change their lifestyles. Fossil fuel is no longer in use, air travel has ceased almost completely and all food must be produced in the same region in which it is consumed. Even music production must be environmentally certified down to the minutest detail. Sweden, a leading producer, exports the most environmentally-friendly music on the market. Capable of interactively adapting to the listener’s needs and emotional state. This accounts for 90 % of global consumption.</p>
<p><strong>05. Motoko Ishii – Homogen</strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Secularization and new-spirituality.</span></p>
<p>The year is 2050. Consumerism and the quest for status have been replaced by very different values in both the United States and Europe. The current economic superpowers can be found in Asia. Despite economic setbacks in the Western world, most people are striving for the ultimate in peace and harmony – to cease both working and owning. The information society has been replaced by the existential society and new-spirituality has become the norm. A great deal of research has been focused on learning how different frequencies affect the human body. The healing of both physical and psychological illness with the help of music is now an established science. The market is dominated by consciousness-altering music and pop music has almost entirely disappeared.</p>
<p><strong>06. Dom Dummaste – Det Nya Melody</strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Retro-cycles.</span></p>
<p>The year is 2047. China is the world’s largest economic power and is exporting its culture worldwide. New styles of music are developed at an ever increasing rate, especially in the major cities of Asia, which are experiencing explosive growth. In Europe, the trend-cycles replace one another at the rate of a few weeks and the retro phenomenon is reaching farther and farther back in time. Advertising and music have merged. Sponsorship is included in compositions and in that way finances music. It is statutory that all pieces of music and works of art include a corporate sponsorship message, and unsponsored art is banned from the major networks. Chinese Google currently owns McDonald’s, as well as the World Bank, TV-Global and all internet and television networks. The majority of music is computer generated and is inspired stylistically by music of the Middle Ages and early Classical periods. Opera, influenced largely by the Peking opera, is the most prevalent vocal style in use whereas the most common language is Swedish blended with a great deal of Arabic and Chinese slang.</p>
<p><strong>07. Håkan Lidbo – X-Bot-DXC vs MC-Monstrux -- EuroAsian Warzone Cronicle</strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Genetic enginering.</span></p>
<p>The year is 2082. Scientists have made major advances in the fields of gene manipulation and cloning. A plant-animal hybrid has been put into use for meat production. Due to gene modification conducted within the womb, the majority of illnesses have disappeared and the average human life span has increased to 150 years. Computers have long since been capable of composing music as skillfully as humans and as a result, almost all musicians have been replaced by robots. A new form of genetically modified pop/martial arts celebrities are outfitted with superpowers such as night vision, super-strength and ultrasound voices. Live music performances are a mix between a strictly choreographed martial arts performance and musical theater. Songs consisting of a medley of short advertising jingles and often forming a heroic saga are sponsored in their entirety by various corporations.</p>
<p><strong>08. Joel Brindefalk – Morphony Suite 33</strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Space.</span></p>
<p>The year is 2050. We have finally made contact with extraterrestrial civilizations. We have received a signal from star system Gliese 581, which has long been trying to confirm the belief of the existence of organic life on earth. They succeeded in understanding a message sent from Earth on June 4<sup>th</sup>, 2008 to Cassiopeia despite its not having been aimed at their system. The signal sent out from earth was a piece of music. The reply was an unfathomably complicated remix of the music originally sent out from Earth. By comparing the wavelengths of the original music sent out from Earth to the remix received from space, we are able to discover a key to its construction.  With the help of this piece of music, we are finally able to discover scientific solutions to a range of long unsolved problems such as cancer, aging and renewable sources of energy. Unlocking the mysteries of the music and thereby coming to an understanding of how it affects us emotionally allows us to use it in entirely new ways within the healing arts, the stimulation of learning and enablement of the human mind to double its capacity many times over.</p>
<p><strong>09. Hab – Precycling Namibia</strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Computers in developing nations.</span></p>
<p>The year is 2025. The development project “One Laptop per Child”, which distributes cheap computers to school children in poor villages, has allowed Namibia to become one of the world’s fastest-growing industrialized nations. With the help of major Chinese investment, Namibia’s large population of IT-competent youth have become world-class programmers. The large prevalence of computers has created a strong electronic music scene, influenced by both Western hip hop and traditional Nama-Stap music. China is currently the most dominant cultural imperialist power and Chinese computer game-themed punk from the 2010s has completely conquered the Namibian market. Music is controlled both by thought impulses and through the movements of dance. Namibia is a global leader in regards to the technology that makes this possible.</p>
<p><strong>10. Noisebud – Truck Driver</strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">New influx of refugees.</span></p>
<p>The year is 2055. Southern Europe has become increasingly aged. As the number of working-age inhabitants decreased to less than a third of the population the shrinking birthrate was identified as a major problem. Southern Europe opened its southern borders and large numbers of young North Africans streamed to through. African immigrants soon made up over half of the population of Spain, Italy, the Balkans and southern France. Islam has become the dominant religion in southern Europe and has led to the evolution of new cultures. A new style of music evolves in Italy based on North African Rai, but also contains elements of early Italian avant garde of the 1990s.</p>
<p><strong>11. Leif Jordansson – Music For Body And Soul</strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Artificial intelligence.</span></p>
<p>The year is 2070 and India is not only the largest, but also the richest country with roughly two billion inhabitants. Ever since the prohibition on fossil fuel, India has become the world’s largest automobile and airplane manufacturer. In addition, 60% of global music production takes place in India and as a result, music has taken on an entirely new role. Currently in existence are composition programs which are far superior to humans in the creation of all types of music, including experimental forms. Music composition simply entails connecting various plug-ins which simulate different types of compositions already in existence. Music is composed solely by computers and as a result has developed at an explosive rate and all genres have completely disintegrated. India, with its thousand-year history of musical mysticism and composition of numerical sequences is a leading producer of this technology.</p>
<p><strong>12. Peter Benisch - Can Ka No Rey </strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Demographics.</span></p>
<p>The year is 2080. The EU hasevolved into a federation with both a president andpowerful parliament. Restrictive immigrations policies are still the norm. Due to falling birth rates, the EU has become a retirement home. The average life span in Sweden is 105 years. More than half of thepopulation is over 70 years of age and the small portion of working-age citizens are unable to compete with the new global industrial giants. Most of themusic being produced is intended for the older demographic, while the youth listen to Chinese pop. Retro trends have overlapped with previous retro trends in increasingly tight intervals only to dissolve into a homogenous, mediocre music style. The older population listens to an amalgamation of 1990s electronic music mixed with Asian influences.</p>
<p><strong>13. Copyparty – Hässelby Skyline</strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #333333;">Urbanization.</span></p>
<p>The year is 2080 and Mexico City has 50 million inhabitants, Shanghai 60 million, Moscow 35 million and Stockholm 5 million. The entirety of Stockholm City is composed of 300-400 meter high skyscrapers, which also function as vertical greenhouses. Urban sprawl has reached many tens of kilometers outside of the city center. Stockholm’s large outlying slums are plagued with social exclusion. Cities have reached such great sizes that what once were neighborhoods have now taken on the functions of small towns with their own commerce centers and suburbs. Music has acquired a very important role in the formation of local and personal identity. New music cultures have developed within each neighborhood, such as Vasastan with its large Iranian population and distinct musical tradition containing elements of 1990s hip hop, 2010s electro and 1900s Iranian pop.</p>
