Welcome to the website of Swedish drummer/composer/etc Johan Björklund. With ongoing extensive work as a musician/bandleader and driving force for many different projects since 1999 (Mess, Johan Björklund Dynamic Flavours, Thymeshift, Thymeshift United, Parallel Activity, Yoleeyo, MIRE III, Monochromatics a.o) Johan is regarded as a strong and sought after profile on the Nordic jazz/impro/rock/whatever music scene.
During this period I have the great honour to work with my music in the beautiful town of Åmål. Using the Art Gallery as a rehearsal space but also as an installation/wooden nest.
”Drums in the Deep Darkthrone Forest” my project is called. Low volume drums, trees and different objects gives a comforting, inspiring but also a bit scary surroundings.
The residence is a part of the project ”På väg 45”
Check out the tune ”California” (C. Svensson) recorded at Studio Glasfågeln 16 September 2021.
Filmed, edited, recorded and mixed by Gustav Davidsson.

We are so happy for being featured as one of the very few ”jazzy” acts on this mighty list hymn.se 2021. In Swedish only, sorry!
Fantastic news, my project ”Pjäxeröd 2punkt0” has been granted support from Musikverket! So much looking forward to making this real in the Spring 2023!
