MEMENTO MORI
Memento Mori was formed in Eskilstuna, Sweden in the early 1980’s. After a first year playing punk rock they began carving out their personal take on post punk: a very rhythm based music driven by the band’s excellent drummer Johan Mörén, adding extra percussion, mean guitars, sax and often with a funk bass at the core. The lyrics were in Swedish. Their debut album Jag...snäll ("Me...Kind") was released in 1983 and received a strong reception among Swedish music journalists. Sweden's biggest rock magazine of that time Schlager's readers voted Memento Mori as one of '83-year's best newcomers. In 1984 another critically acclaimed album Detta är paradiset (“This Is Paradise”) was released. It was voted fourth in Schlager's annual readers' poll regarding best Swedish album of '84. From the first album on a very intensive touring across the country and the fellow Nordic countries came about. Some music journalists even dubbed Memento Mori as “Sweden’s best live act”. In the late eighties the band went through some changes in line-up which delayed the release of their third album Våga leka (“Dare to Play”). In 1990 Memento Mori disbanded. Their albums have since become regarded as cult items and new fans have seen daylight following the revival of post punk rock in the middle of the 2000’s.
In 2007 the band re-formed in its “1985-edition”, which has been regarded as the best of all its existence.

80-talets rockhjältar nummer ett i Eskilstuna.
Skitigt ösiga posörer som aldrig vek en tum från sina Rock.stjärnedrömmar.
Deras scennärvaro och utstrålning borde ha varit svår att fånga i studiomiljön. Men på något sätt finns den där ändå. Lyssna och le.

Undefined Sounds proudly presents "Downbloused", the new EP from Robert Bush.
Again, we are taken on a journey into weird and wacky synth sounds, building melodies that stick like a gum!
As Sweden experienced one of the worst and longest winters in history, Robert Bush spent most of his time in Bangkok, where Downbloused came to be. The sound and melodies are more poppy this time, with an oriental touch in the melodies.

Fundamental Form was the first formation that directly grew out of the activities of musicians collective and scene Memento in Eskilstuna. The group was formed in 1999 at the initiative of saxophonist Stefan Wistrand and with the aim of playing free improvised music colored by rock, free jazz and electronica. Fundamental Form’s music is built on a finely chiseling of moods – from the abstract to the concrete, from free rhythms to awkward grooves, which is all collectively improvised. The mixture of acoustic and electronic instruments contributes to the specific sound of the group.

Metamusik was formed in 2005, after Johannes Rytzler and Daniel Carlsson had discussed a way in which they could make improvised electronica, which despite its origin still sounded like music and not just like random sound experiments. The conceptual starting point for Metamusik is music as an evolving and extensible form of constant motion. With seven variations of this meta-concept arises a music that is a synthesis of the electronic and living, the expected and the unexpected, the composed and the improvised. Electronics and technology is not an end in itself, but contributes only to a specific sound, the feel of a musical moment, the main objective.
