ISSUE’s Swedish Energies Festival returns to NY for the 5th-annual edition. Presented in collaboration with EMS and the Consulate General of Sweden in New York, the series brings together a wide-ranging international lineup of visionary electronic and improvisational musicians spanning genres of sound and visual art.

Originally commissioned as a 5-minute piece, over 20 years, "12 Stations" evolved into a challenging 6 1/2 hour epic; a deep, spiritual journey that is considered a central work of Rózmann’s oeuvre. Thematically the work draws on the Tibetan Wheel of Life, and reflects Rózmann's deep interest in Tibetan Buddhism.

The third Swedish Energies festival closes with more of Sweden's most progressive performers. With debut collaborations by Mats Lindström & Marina Rosenfeld, and Henrik Rylander & MV Carbon, plus the hypnotic Hanna Hartman, saxaphonist Mats Gustafsson, audio-visual duo The Space in Between, & DJ Lary 7.

The first night of Swedish Energies features Christine Ödlund, Mats Lindström, Vinyl Terror & Horror with guest JG Thirlwell, Rolf Enström, and a duo performance by Aki Onda, and Lise-Lotte Norelius.

This two-night program feature a huge lineup of some of Sweden’s most exciting experimental musicians. Performances will include collaborations between U.S. and Swedish artists. This night features The Skull Defekts, Mats Gustafsson, Ikue Mori + Ida Lunden, CM von Hausswolff, and Mats Lindström + Anna Koch.
