Andreas W Andersson

CDREP / DDL

The first note played on this EP was the first note ever played at a Compunctio Festival, on September 2, 2007! Luckily we recorded the concert, and this is the result: Andreas W Andersson’s first solo release. For those of you who were unable to attend, close your eyes and imagine that you are at the castle of Bjärka-Säby, and listen to the voice of Andreas W Andersson.

Andreas W Andersson has developed a very personal sound, often lyrical but so full of energy that it is perhaps sometimes best labeled as punk. He is playing saxophone in the nationally and internationally acclaimed improvisation trio Plunge. Andreas has co-operated with musicians like Markus Wargh, Marilyn Mazur, Fredrik Ljungkvist, Bobo Stenson, Sten Sandell, Ola Hedén and Andreaz Hedén. He has composed music for improvising big band, theatre, documentary movies and he is a well-appreciated teacher at the folk high school in Skurup and the music academy in Malmö.
