Ann Rosén uses conductive material to create music. During the last decade her concept Drawing Session has been her main tool for creation music. By drawing, utilising the conductive properties of graphite through electronic circuits. The pen, paper, and electronics are combined into an experimental instrument that sonifies mark-making, as she simultaneously scribes and performs graphic scores in real-time.

Since her MFA at Konstfack 1988, Ann Rosén has worked professionally as an artist. Early in her career, she became interested in using sound as material and since the 1990s her artistic focus has been on sound art and music. 
Ann Rosén has exhibited her art and performed at galleries, museums, clubs and festivals in Sweden and internationally. Her music has been performed at, among others, Konstakademin, Kungliga Operan, Moderna Museet Stockholm, South Bank London and Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival UK.
Rosén's artistry includes choreographic works, spatial designs, sound art, choral works, sound installations, video, sculpted silence, performance, experimental music, drawings and paintings. In her artistic process she has for many years focused on interpersonal relationships and our relationships with the world around us. She describes her artistic process 1981-2023 as a graphic score published in the book “Recycling the Work Process” (2023).  The original score / drawings are acquired for the collection at Ystads konstmuseum.
Together with the composer Sten-Olof Hellström she runs the scene Schhh Vardagsrummet in the Swedish countryside, as well as Schhh Records, Schhh Publishing and the Schhh Artist Residency.

Sten-Olof Hellström, electroacoustic music composer and performer. In 2013 Sten-Olof celebrated thirty years as a professional composer by obtaining a PhD in composition at University of Huddersfield, UK, with the thesis entitled ”Algorithmically-driven synthesis and feedback system: an investigation into the aesthetic and technical processes in my compositional practice ”. His music has been featured at concerts, festivals and radio-broadcasts all around the world. In recent years he has worked with a variety of compositional and musical projects such as ”Sound Excursions in the Stockholm Archipelago” where he together with Ann Rosen performed EAM concerts and workshops in Stockholms Archipelago using a sailboat as a base. 
No samples and no presets just pure synthesis has always been Sten-Olofs motto and in Just he takes things a step further! Here he explores the concept of emergent percept. Instead of forcing synthesis models to behave in certain ways by, for example adding filters and using loads of control signals he strives to create synthesis models who’s emergent behavior produces the sounds and behaves the way Sten-Olof  wants without having to add filters and requiring just a few controls.

Herman Müntzing and Qarin Wikström form an improvising duo preoccupied with embracing the moment and plunging headlong into energetic sound exploration. With a fearless approach to sound, beats, and texture, they create chaotic, danceable, and noisy landscapes using a wide range of electronic devices, voices, objects, and machines. Expect spacious escapism, electro-disasters and broken techno with occasional glimpses of abstract beauty. Or as a music journalist once wrote about this duo: "an apocalyptic party game". Herman Müntzing has been working with electronic and acoustic devices since the late 80s, and Qarin Wikström started playing with them two decades later. They met and started performing live as a duo in 2014 and released their cassette and book album Ping Pong Punktum in 2020, which received international recognition and was nominated for a Danish Music Award Jazz in 2021....
