Perspectives 2004

[likewise]

Some of you might be interested in this upcoming festival in Swedish Västerås (one hour NW of Stockholm - and from London, tnx to Ryanair).
It's curated by the one and only Mats Gustafsson, and, while the official
program hasn't been released yet, the preliminary line-up looks pretty
mouth-watering, IMO:

Anthony Braxton (solo)
Derek Bailey (w Gush, specially resurrected)
Peter Brötzmann & Milford Graves
Marilyn Crispell (w Fredrik Ljungkvist, Palle Danielsson & Paal Nilssen-Love)
Han Bennink (w Per Henrik Wallin)
Jaap Blonk (w Thomas Lehn & Lindha Kallerdahl)
Fred Van Hove (solo organ)
Related Silence (w, ao, Mats, Ikue Mori, C Brötzmann, Guy Picciotto)
Merzbow (!)

Plus avant rockers Blonde Redhead, Wolf Eyes and many more.


The whole shebang is set for Oct 21-24, tickets will be sold from Sept 6th.

Looks good, though I've just reserved my festival pass for Jazz a Mulhouse - on which I will start a thread later. If the program, when released, does look irresistable, then I will do my best to try to make it but Jazz a Mulhouse will be the third summer festival I'll have attended so I might have to skip this to not go fully broke.

This is the given ptogramme! Sould be possible to read also for non-vikings!
