Improvised music and improvised dance in total interaction!
Sounds and acoustic vibrations meets movements in dance and music.
Interaction in the INSTANT NOW ----movements in music & sounds of dance , creating a unique structure and form!
This is improvisation on equal terms where no part is just an accompaniment to the other, but really sharing the instant moment and creating the form on the spot.BEVLLOHALLAT is Lapish and means "att råka ut för fataliteten att bli överraskad av barmark"
which means "to happen on the fatal event of being surprised by bare ground"

Lotta Melin (SWEDEN & KREV) - dance

Mats Gustafsson (SWEDEN & KREV) - saxophones, flutes and live electronics (info at; http://www.shef.ac.uk/misc/rec/ps/efi/ehome.html and http://mats.olofbright.com)

Each performance of BEVLLOHALLAT is of course unique, by the nature of free improvisation, and will get a unique name and identity.

" Long, sliding, circular
breathing, boring
inwards, a long,
rhythmical bow
grows and moves into
throws, stops, calls,
pause, attack: plop!
Loose slide, a feeling
Of weather. Change to
Fluteophone. Muted
And shrill, feels like
A storm, it gathers, it breaks.
Duet for body and instrument,
But who is the body and who is the instrument?"

"… The dancer and the player move improvisationally, interpretatively towards each other and with each other over the visual horizon of the score. The landscape-like characteristics of the piece together with the weather-like shifts in moods almost presupposes the type of space frames that only a dancer can shape. In this piece, the outer limits have set up house in the player and dancer so that join in making these inner landscapes with their surprising fatalities visible as external, physical boundaries. Bevllohallat Hhu/Ö is a composition where direction and thematic cells are predetermined, but where variability is also an active partner in the music"
