    Vibradisc - an instrument invented by Ingrid Engarås, made for carefully selected live concert situations. A motor generates vibrations against a huge copper plate which in turn generates its own sound. Its deep and flowing bass frequencies trigger the listener to undergo individual experiences which may be comfortable, strange, erotic and rumbling. The playing technique is closely related to automatic writing. As the instrument can, (and should) never be fully controlled, the playing sessions are always subject to random forces. All aspects of the concert situation, such as the architecture, atmosphere, audience and the instrumentalist's setting, impact on and interact with Vibradisc. Every playing session or concert is unique and can never be predicted. Nor can the listener's experience be controlled. The sound of Vibradisc is to be used in each listener's very own personal way.

    Ingrid Engarås - born 1968 - lives in Stockholm and considers Fylkingen to be her home scene. Has during the years been active with mailart, performance and visual art, but mainly as the organizer for more or less underground cultural events, concepts and social situations. Her rare concerts with Vibradisc started in 1999 and since then both solo concerts and collaborative experimentations have been performed.
