All spec Kit / Andreas Kurtsson is a sound artist and musician, and has
been active within the experimental electronica scene since the mid
90's. He has an extensive catalogue of concerts and sound installations
in Sweden in particular, as one of the main artist behind the Starfield
Simulation events and Laika projects in Malmö. He creates a stubborn
sound scape from a sprawling material, taken from diverse sources such
as found objects, damaged instruments, everyday environments and
electronically treated sounds. Through these inputs Kurtsson lets an
awkward groove emerge.
This is his own words on his music:
"I depict the music as a number of individual sounds that play together, but remain deaf to each other. This creates a groove that is seasick and harsh, but still poppy. The music ranges from soothing calm to manic cacophony. The sounds come from both electronic and acoustic sources, and if the listener is unsure about their origin that is only positive. I hover between just organising different sound sources and more actively shaping them. When the sounds are edited and modulated I keep things simple in an effort to turn focus to the sound itself, more than to achieve some kind of highly skilled handicraft. Where minimalism turns stupid I've found a space where I can work with repetitions, translations, randomness, interferences, overloads, stories and the infantile. The trick is to be uncomfortable in different conventions but still trying to remain curious towards them. All Spec Kit is pop music."
