JOHANNES BERGMARK This is a continually updated archive page (cv) about me as a musician and other activities. Introduction Music with live electronics, instrument inventions and improvisation I play free improvisation solo and in groups, with a number of unique musical instruments. I play the musical saw, live electronics, virtual analog modular synthesizers, Micro Moog (occasionally also other keyboards like the piano, clavinet, clavichord, harmonium or Fender Rhodes), a number of small instruments, sounding objects and original inventions (see gallery pages) such as: The Finger Violin: with five strings from the fingers of one hand, through one and to the other of two violin lids. The Brillolin: a miniature violin with two strings to a spectacle frame tied round the head. The Veloncell Marcel (after Duchamp): a bicycle wheel on a stool - the sound of the dynamo's electricity and of the playing on the spokes with bows etc. is amplified. The Whalefish, a one-man-band instrument with many home-made sound objects, toys and kitchen utensils. I also sometimes use my voice, processed by electronics, combined with toy winds, or plain with close mic.

Musical Performances, such as The Stringed Stirrups and The Singing Coffin. In the Stringed Stirrups, two piano wires are fastened in the ceiling, and at the lower end in a pair of horse stirrups, in which I stand, hanging in the air with the resonator on my chest. This instrument needs some height of the ceiling and is usually played, indoors or outdoors, as a solo performance (10-20 min). However, a duo of this instrument has been heard by Acrobatic Music. The Singing Coffin is a box in body length with me inside. Some strings are strung over the lid. Through a little hole, I sing and the voice directs the tones of the strings. The voice, with a microphone, goes to a mixer and multiplies it to 15 outputs. Small piezo buzzers are connected to the outputs and rest loosely on the strings to excite them by their buzzing. A nice side effect is the feedback between the internal microphone and the sound board.
