Expanding Chaos

Expanding Chaos was formed in 1996 by Markus Widegren and Anders Rudolfsson. The band is still active and slowly working on a new album. Not easily defined since style and genre change over the albums. Often some sort of basic guitar, bass & drums setup with more or less experimental electronics on top.

Termodynamikens sjunde lag

Elektroacoustic ensemble making chaotic improvisations on classical instruments and analogue electronics. More magic than music. The older album, the more incoherent. Markus was some kind of guide into the chaos.
