::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Emeli Ek is a drummer, percussionist and composer. Currently based in Malmö in the south of Sweden. She plays and composes music mainly in free jazz or country/americana. She has recently picked up Nordic folk music on percussion too. Her main bands now is the freeform-inmotion-jazz duo Medi, her free jazz quintet Ormbunken, Throwback Tribute - a project that pays tribute to music from the past, and the country/americana band The Bandettes. She is also playing her solo project on drums and percussion, which is a mix of free improvisation and movement.
Emeli was born and raised in a small village outside Helsingborg, been playing music since she was 8 years old. Piano, electric bass, dancing, playing soccer... In her early teens she picked up the acoustic guitar and the drums. Studying music during high school and later on at the folk high school's Fridhem and Skurup, then getting a Master in Music Education in 2014 at the Academy of Music in Malmö.
It's behind the drums Emeli feels most comfortable, seeing herself more as a musician than a instrumentalist. Focusing more on sound and expression on stage, exploring and combining sounds that can interact with the traditional drum kit. Being openminded and thinking outside the box is two of her strenghts, as she lets creativity and playfulness be her guiding lights. This is a part of any music Emeli plays. What happens with the music when she stands up behind the drumset? Or putting a plastic bag, a wooden toy or a metal lid on the drums?
She sometimes take the role as the lead singer, mainly in The Bandettes, but occasionally also in Ormbunken.
Emeli is also a passionate dancer, whether it be clubbing, Lindy hop or folk dance!
During 2026 Emeli writes new music for The Bandettes and Ormbunken, plays free form in different constellations and spend lots of time dancing.

Isak Hedtjärn är en musiker djupt rotad inom friimproviserad musik. Hans musik är präglad av instrumentens mer outforskade ljudvärldar och influenser från många genrer och traditioner, oavsett om det gäller klarinett saxofon eller flöjt. Soloimprovisation är hans främsta plattform för utforskandet av instrumenten och sökandet efter det tidigare ospelade.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Jordan Sand weaves voice into the organ-like resonances of bowed double bass. Folk string playing and tinges of Nordic jazz collide with extended techniques and the experimental, reckless spirit of the underground. At once raw and beautiful, gritty and delicate, her performances have been described as “impressive” (New York Times) and “Joni Mitchell meets Ligeti” (Omaha Under the Radar). Spanning off-kilter melodicism, polyphony, drone and noise, her writing and improvising often deal with a form of suspended consciousness, illumination or ego death, fusing wordless voice into the acoustic glow of her instrument.
Based in New York City for many years, Sand honed her chops as an instrumentalist, performer and session musician, working full time in the city’s chaotic web of music scenes. Performance credits include Carnegie Hall, Saturday Night Live, the Apollo Theater, and NPR’s Tiny Desk, and she’s toured extensively as a freelancer, with a range spanning folk, free jazz, classical, pop, new music, contemporary opera, and experimental formations of all shapes and sizes.
Since 2012, Sand has played solo at experimental and underground venues in Europe and North America, drawing from an evolving catalogue of her original music for voice and bass. On stage, Sand often populates the architecture of song with radical sound palettes: layers of string noise, crooked melodies, siren-like singing, and at times harrowing counterpoint between voice and the bowed textures of her instrument.
Since 2020, her work as a sound designer and composer has also come to the fore in collaborations with visual artists, filmmakers, researchers, and poets. Her music has been supported by the Norwegian Arts Council, the Harriet Hale Woolley Foundation, Trondheim Kommune, and Norsk Komponist Foreningen.
Originally from the U.S., Sand has lived in four countries, driven twice cross-continent in July, and plays on a Hungarian double bass of otherwise unknown origin. She holds a PhD from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, and is currently based in Trondheim, Norway, planning a record release for autumn 2026.
