Got the sad news that Sören Runolf has passed away. Sören was one of the true stalwarts of Swedish free improv and electro-acoustic music. Unlike many of his peers, he always maintained a curiosity and openmindedness towards new technologies. While guitar and to some extent treated cello remained his faved instruments, he also got into more noisy territory with contact mics and live electronics. Probably most known as a member of the ferocious free jazz combo Lokomotiv Konkret, Sören was also involved in countless more or less fleeting collaborations. A legend, sorely missed.
