Johan Bj\u00f6rklund – drums (Thymeshift, Dynamic Flavors, MIRE III etc)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201dWouldn\u2019t it have been easier if you played the harmonica\/flute\/any other small instrument?\u201d
A question I\u2019ve been asked so many times since I started playing drums at the age of 12. I\u2019ve always laughed a little to be kind and humble but also thought of various different answers that never crossed my lips. \u201dEasier perhaps but drums are about 100 times cooler\u201d is one of the possible ones that I\u2019ve never said. But the truth is that after almost 40 years of practice I\u2019m still amazed by the expressive possibilities, sounds, variations and dynamics (from whisper to thunder) that exists in this\/these instruments! The choice is and has always been obvious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has also always been an exciting and inspiring experience the times I\u2019ve played together with other drummers\/percussionists over the years as completely new possibilities open up. Often it is a question of working together with ONE additional drummer\/percussionist so in this project I want to take this a few steps further by working solely with a larger group of musicians who play drums\/percussion in a unique orchestra.
\u201dHow can less be more? More is more!!!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johan Bj\u00f6rklund – founder and fearless risktaker of this project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay tuned, this will be heard and seen in the near future!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanx to Wilhelm and Martina Lundgrens Foundation for financial support!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
