Konserterna är de sista i Sverige på mycket länge. 2006 släpptes Ane Brun's album "A Temporary Dive" i USA och det hyllades rejält i den amerikanska pressen, så här tyckte kritikerna då: Rolling Stone: "...elegantly strange songs mix surreal whimsy with Scandinavian darkness" Time: "...most compelling of all is her voice--- a mix of Bjork's unpredictability and Joni Mitchells directness..." Paste: "...full of evocative melodies, heartfelt lyrics and razor sharp guitar picking" Interview: "A work of haunting minimalism" NY Times: "surreal folksiness" People: "...melancholy speandour that will keep you crawling back" Pitchfork: "Brun aims for the best of subtle, spacious songs that work best at 2am..." Slant: #1 record of 2006 "refreshing and pure, a throwback to traditional folks music at the same time keeping one foot firmly planed in the no longer-neo, neo-folk movement" Time Out Chicago: "it refreshing how much variety Brun brings to her game" Time Out New York: "...so perfect that it evokes awed pleasure rather than gloom" American Songwriter "the arrival of an artist who has found her creative voice....a singer songwriter whole talents transcends musical movements and genre designations" Venice: "...sultry torch singer, sixties folks master and witty entertainer..." http://www.anebrun.com/ http://www.cheaplullaby.com/ http://www.kcrw.com/ Foto: Anders Wiklund.

New Blood’: a Contemporary GIM Programme Svein Fuglestad
Approaches: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Music Therapy | Special Issue 9 (2) 2017 SPECIAL ISSUE Guided Imagery and Music: Contemporary European perspectives and developments Article ‘New Blood’: A contemporary GIM programme Svein Fuglestad ABSTRACT This article is a presentation of a new contemporary Guided Imagery and Music (GIM) program based on orchestral re-recordings of various tracks by the English pop and rock musician Peter Gabriel. The intention is to share with the GIM community the author’s own experiences and perspectives using this music from the popular music genre with individual clients. The different pieces in the music programme are presented and described using the MIA intensity profile, Hevner’s Mood Wheel and the taxonomy of music. Whether the use of non-classical music is consistent with the individual form of the Bonny Method of GIM will be discussed, together with the potential advantages of repetitions and recognitions due to simplicity in structure, form and harmonies in building safety for clients within a therapeutic setting. KEYWORDS Guided Imagery and Music, new GIM programme, non-classical music in GIM, receptive music therapy, music and imagery, Peter Gabriel Svein Fuglestad is an Associate Professor at Oslo and Akershus University of Applied Sciences, Faculty of Social Sciences, Child Welfare programme. He is an AMI-Fellow/BMGIM therapist (2006) and cand. philol. in musicology (1996), and has been practising GIM with people affected by HIV/AIDS, sexually abused men, and female victims of incest. Fuglestad was GIM therapist in the Norwegian Research Council project Music, Motion, and Emotion. He is a singer and a musician.

Ane Brun Mit Neuen Songs Auf Tournee
Ane Brun mit neuen Songs auf Tournee mn. Die Liedermacherin Ane Brun wurde 1976 als Ane Brunvoll in Norwegen geboren. Mit 21 Jahren endeckte sie die Gitarre und versuchte sich als Stras- senmusikerin in Spanien. Danach beschloss sie das Musikmachen ernsthaft zu betreiben. Seit ihrem Umzug nach Schweden im Jahr 2000, arbeitete sie sich musikalisch hoch, von den Gigs in kleinen Pubs bis hinein in die grossen Stadien. Bereits 2005 stand sie im Wembley Stadion. 2010 spielte Ane Brun im Vorprogramm von Peter Gabriels New-Blood-Tour. Sie war auch als Backgroundsängerin tätig und übernahm bei „Don’t Give Up“ den Gesangspart von Kate Bush. Im September 2011 veröffentlichte Ane Brun das Album „It All Starts with One“. Derzeit lebt sie im schwedischen Stockholm und betreibt ihr eigenes Plattenlabel DetErMi- ne Records (= das sind meine Platten). Das alles tönt wunderbar, ist es auch. Doch Ane Brun zahlt einen hohen Preis. Ihr Immun- system dreht seit 1998 völlig durch. Lupus heisst diese tückische Krankheit. Brun muss mit Schmerzen leben. Hautveränderungen, Haarausfall, Sonnenallergie, Fieber, Arthritis sind ihre täglichen Begleiter. Und Angst. Es gibt kein Heilmittel, bei jeder betroffenen Person verläuft diese Krankheit anders. Linderung bringt allenfalls Kortison - mit beträchtlichen Nebenwirkungen. Ane Brun verbrachte viel Zeit im Spital, lag monatelang arbeitsunfähig zuhause. Eine wei- tere Tour 2012 mit Peter Gabriel musste sie absagen. Doch die Krankheit hat sie nicht besiegt, ihre Kreativität nicht vernichtet. Seit ihrem Debutalbum „Spending time with Morgan“ veröffentlichte sie bereits sechs Studioalben, ein Live-Album und eine Best of Collection. Was bei Ane Brun besticht, ist ihre Stimme, diese filigrane, intensive und klare Stimme.

Solo-Akustik-Tournee Der Sängerin Aus Norwegen Im Herbst Konzerte in Dortmund, München, Darmstadt, Hamburg Und Berlin Tickets Ab 12
PRESSEMELDUNG SOLO-AKUSTIK-TOURNEE DER SÄNGERIN AUS NORWEGEN IM HERBST KONZERTE IN DORTMUND, MÜNCHEN, DARMSTADT, HAMBURG UND BERLIN TICKETS AB 12. SEPTEMBER IM HANDEL ERHÄLTLICH Die gefeierte, norwegische Sängerin und Songschreiberin Ane Brun zählt zu den erfolgreichsten Künstlerinnen in ihrer Heimat. Ihre Alben erreichten mehrfach Platin-Status und die Zusammenarbeit mit Peter Gabriel sorgte für internationale Reputation. Ihr Album „A Temorary Dive“ erhielt 2005 diverse Nominierungen in Europa und wurde gekrönt mit dem norwegischen Grammy in der Kategorie ”best female artist”. Letztes Jahr veröffentlichte Ane Brun mit SONGS 2003 - 2013 eine retrospektive Songsammlung, die 32 rare und bisher unveröffentlichte Titel enthält und im Herbst im Rahmen einer Solo-Akustik-Tournee live zelebriert wird. Als besonderen Gast hat Ane Brun die schwedische Sängerin Alice Boman eingeladen, deren Stimme an die emotionale Kraft und Zerbrechlichkeit der Nina Simone erinnert. Ane Brun gastiert am 23. Oktober in Dortmund im Konzerthaus, am 17. November in München in der Muffathalle, am 18. November in Darmstadt in der Centralstation, am 19. November in Hamburg in der Markthalle am 11. November in Berlin im Huxleys. Tickets gibt es ab Freitag, den 12. September an den bekannten Vorverkaufsstellen, unter der bundesweiten Tickethotline 01806 / 999 000 555 (0,20 EUR/Verbindung aus dt. Festnetz / max. 0,60 EUR/Verbindung aus dt. Mobilfunknetz) oder im Internet unter www.ticketmaster.de. Tickets für das Konzert in Dortmund gibt es hier. Das Album SONGS 2003 – 2013, das gleichzeitig das 10-jährige Jubiläum ihres Debuts „Spending Time With Morgan“ markiert, reflektiert Bruns musikalische Entwicklung, von den zauberhaften, fragilen Akustikkompositionen zu Beginn ihrer Karriere, bis hin zu der komplexen Dramatik ihres letzten Albums „It All Starts With One“.

Rebirth, Resounding, Recreation: Making Seventies Rock in the 21St Century
Journal of the International Association for the Study of Popular Music doi:10.5429/2079-3871(2010)v1i2.4en Rebirth, resounding, recreation: making seventies rock in the 21st century Sverker Hyltén-Cavallius Dept of Ethnology, History of religions and Gender studies, Stockholm University [email protected] Abstract The aim of the article is to explore ways of conceiving and organizing the recent past in contemporary rock music taking place in Sweden. The empirical basis is a mixture of observations at music events, in-depth interviews, reading of news media and web pages, and analysis of recorded music, conducted within a current research project. The article develops three ‘retrologies’, literally ‘ways of thinking back’. ‘Rebirth’ is when musicians disappear and after many years reappear. In this case identity, the authority to claim personal continuity, and the capability to represent and manage a lost context, are keys to an authentic performance and central to the musicians’ chances to update and develop their sound. ‘Resounding’ is the use of past sounds, instruments, grooves and melodic fragments that are put together in new ways. These bands are associated with the seventies, and listeners will find a number of historic references, but rarely or never actual copies. ‘Recreation’ is the meticulous work characterizing certain tribute bands in their effort to recreate historical performances. In this case, the identity of the performing artist is erased in favor of the identity of the performed artist, placing authenticity in the matching of performance detail and audience expectations. To conclude, each retrology points to different conceptions of authenticity, but they all create intimate historical spaces for their audiences to enter into.
