ABBA seems to be a constant in Swedish music life. I want to reflect that in my solo programs as well. Right now they get to enclose a program that otherwise consists of my own music for both 10-string guitar and 6-string. In addition, two real contrasts by the contemporary composer Mats Åkerlund and the great baroque master Johann Sebastian Bach.

The special thing about our duo program and the hub that we build our programs around, are the improvised melodramas that arise when Lars Björklund reads his poems and I improvise on my ten-string guitar. Around it we put a palette of style-breaking music from the last 400 years. From subtlety via emotionally charged romance to drama and modern sounds.

My partner in this guitar duo is Anders Emtell. The central work in our program is Johann Sebastian Bach's 15 two-part inventions. We play these in sounding key, which makes a really unique soundscape for these wonderful miniatures.
To give the audience a wider taste of the contemporary culture with Bach, we read some short and funny poems by contemporary Swedish poets. In addition, we frame it all with some captivating sonatas by Domenico Scarlatti.


Italian Espri or the Carulli project:
The SiVa guitar duo, with Vassilis Varelas
Ferdinando Carulli was an Italian guitar virtuoso and composer, contemporary with Beethoven, and in terms of tonal language, a forerunner of Rossini. We are very fond of Carulli's great melodic charm. Carulli was incredibly productive and has written several hours of music for two guitars. So there is a lot to dig into!
