Per Anders Nilsson, Susanna Lindeborg, Ove Johansson Natural Artifacts Sunday, February 26, 3 pm Göteborgs Konstmuseum Göteborg, Sweden Natural Artefacts -- a.k.a. Per Anders Nilsson, laptop, Susanna Lindeborg, piano and laptop, and Ove Johansson, saxophone and laptop -- made its start from a collaboration over several years between the composer Per Anders Nilsson and the musicians Susanna Lindeborg and Ove Johansson. The trio is developing a concept where the laptop acts as a completely integrated musical instrument. The idea is interactive improvisation, computer and computer musician interacts with acoustic instruments. The given situation is in this case a tenor saxophone, a grand piano and three lap tops, three actors, a number of more or less prepared grounds for improvisation. There can be different means: prepared compositions, loose structures, sound files that create ambient rooms, real time sampling of free improvisations etc. The trio has built a repertoire for this kind of musical creativity.
