Jessie Kleemann & Søren Gemmer’s LONE WOLF RUNNER
arctic poetry & electro/acoustic music

A collaborative effort exploring postcolonial critique through poetry from the collection Arkhticós Dolorôs and music and sound; ice cave piano, fiery drum machine excursions, hymnic vocoding and a hauntingly beautiful baptismal flood of synths.

LONE WOLF RUNNER is a collaboration the result of Søren Gemmer’s electro-acoustic composition for Jessie Kleemann’s performance piece presented during the Fall of 2023 at SMK - the National Gallery of Denmark in Copenhagen. The performance series garnered significant attention and was nominated as Art Event of the Year by AICA Association of Danish Art Critics. 

Jessie Kleemann & Søren Gemmer pose the question in this project: how does postcolonial critique sound when presented as poetry and music?
The two artists released the album LONE WOLF RUNNER in October of 2024.

On the album LONE WOLF RUNNER:
“One of the standout tracks is "Baptism”…It’s somehow dissonant, and absolutely essential to understanding what Kleemann and Gemmer are after: a sonic alchemy that unites the primal with the sacred, the animal with the spiritual. … It’s unsettling, it’s beautiful, and it’s a journey well worth taking - if you’re brave enough.” - Vito Camarretta, Chain D.L.K

Rønn/Børup is a duo of visuals, keys and electronics. Intertwining patterns of improvisation penetrating ears and eyes, only interrupted by small glimpses of blissful hope. Expect manic, ever-changing colours and huge clouds of immersive sound.

As a composer, musician and sound artist, Mats Erlandsson is part of the vibrantly reemerging field of drone music in Stockholm, Sweden, and is associated with practices characterized by the extensive use of sustained sound. Erlandsson presents his work both as a solo artist and in collaborations, most notably together with Yair Elazar Glotman and Maria W Horn.
Utilizing synthesized and recorded analog and digital sound, contaminated field-recordings and extensive tape processing his music slowly unfolds sets of precisely tuned harmonic material while textural properties of the imaginary rooms where the music takes form shifts, shimmers and moves from sparse and open to dense and claustrophobic. 
Recent releases include Gyttjans Topografi on XKatedral, Celestial Shores made together with Maria W Horn, Minnesmärke on Hallow Ground, the collaboration Emanate made with Yair Elazar Glotman on 130701 and 4-track guitar music on XKatedral. Erlandsson has performed his work extensively at various festivals and music and arts venues around the world.
Erlandsson has performed his work extensively, at Présences Électronique hosted by the GRM in Paris, at the CTM festival in 2019 and The Long Now in Berlin, Norbergfestival in Norberg, Sonica Festival in Ljubljana and in various music and arts venues around the world. 
In addition to his own artistic practice, Erlandsson holds a position as studio technician at the world-renowned Elektronmusikstudion (EMS) in Stockholm and has frequently presented electroacoustic music and new music from Sweden in concert....
