VILHELM BROMANDERS INITIATIV
With roots in the '60s free jazz and contemporary improvised music, the initiative is a non-hierarchical and norm-critical collective. The music is characterised by the joy of playing and the free improvisations, placed in long-composed suite forms. Hard swing, wild improvisations and lyrical melodies melt together in unexpected combinations and give each other new colours and spiritual depth. The music has a political setting which makes the raised fist heard in every note.
