Blue for a moment

Sven-Åke Johansson is a composer and musician whose work has simultaneously followed various developments and playfully transcended them. Born 1943 in Mariestad, Sweden, he moved to Berlin in the late 1960s, where he has since been active in a variety of music and artistic contexts. In his performances and compositions he explores musical relics with the help of “cheap” materials such as cardboard or foam.
