Marcus Fjellström
Born in Sweden in 1979, Marcus Fjellström is a composer and multimedia artist. His work ranges from the purely orchestral through electronic music and audiovisual work.
For the 2015 GAS-Festival Sören Hermansson will perform Marcus’ piece Deanimator for solo horn and electronic music.
Deanimator is a nine minute piece for solo horn and electronic music. There is a man-machine theme running through Deanimator, as my intentions were ”to fuse the organic with the mechanical, the natural with the artificial, the metal with the flesh”. I have always been fascinated by the relationship between the human performer and the electronic music in performances like these, and I wanted to combine these two in an organic, physical, almost visceral way, as the EAM part evokes physical aspects such as the electric, the mechanical and the metallic, juxtaposed with the organic and warm physicality of the horn player (the metallic and mechanical aspects of the horn instrument itself being the mediator). – Marcus Fjellström
