The cultural, social and geographical background is there whether you want it or not. These conditions forms you in certain ways, for good and for something to explore, challenge and be challenged by. And the nature! Such a beautiful place that I see with totally new eyes now as an older and perhaps wiser person.&nbsp;<br>An old word for nomad\/beggar in Swedish is Piekker and the farm were I grew up from 5 years old, is called Pj\u00e4xer\u00f6d (in really old days \u201cPiegs Rudi\u201d, the beggars place), close to the village of Hedekas in North East Bohusl\u00e4n, Sweden.&nbsp;<br>I am no beggar but definitely a curious and adventurous nomad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>THE MUSIC<\/strong><br>A majority of the music created in Pj\u00e4xer\u00f6d 2.0 comes from a close collaboration with musician\/composer Arve Henriksen (trumpet\/electronics\/voice).<br>The basic workflow was either recorded sessions where we played, improvised, discussed, experimented with different sound sources\/instruments etc and then it continued with sending audio files, edits and remixes of the recorded work back and forth. It could also start with someone of us sending a soundfile or another type of idea and then the music evolved from that exchange.<br>After that I have invited different musicians to add what they feel can contribute to the music. With few or no guidelines I have left it to them with full artistic freedom.&nbsp;<br>Then the great puzzle of sound files, effects and more recordings has resulted in the music presented here.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MUSICIANS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Johan Bj\u00f6rklund &#8211; drums, electronics, nord drum, synth, rhodes, grand piano, electric guitar, electric bass, objects etc<br>Arve Henriksen &#8211; trumpet, voice, electronics<br>Thomas Markusson &#8211; double bass, electronics<br>Armand van Wijck &#8211; chromatic harmonica<br>Maria Palmqvist &#8211; voice<br>John L\u00f6nnmyr &#8211; synth, organ<br>Thomas Gunillasson &#8211; electric guitar<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">BUY MUSIC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/johanbjrklund.bandcamp.com\/album\/pj-xer-d-20\">Bandcamp<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/music.apple.com\/us\/album\/pj%C3%A4xer%C3%B6d-2-0-feat-arve-henriksen\/1710164176\">Apple Music<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/deezer.page.link\/rBWNRy7hQTAnuBY18\">Deezer<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Release date 3 November 2023.
