"The initial idea behind Ensemble E was to combine traditions of contemporary music, noise, improvised music, free jazz and other experimental music fields and traditions with the deeper music traditions. This is deeper research of traditional and non-traditional ways of expressing folk music of Scandinavia, Portugal, Poland, Ukraine and more. Much more. By putting them next to each other/on top of each other/inside of each other. Creating new ways. The instrumentation of Ensemble E is spectacular in my ears, eyes and soul. Avoiding traditional prejudices. This is all about how it is shared. And with whom. And WHO we are." ~Mats Gustafsson. Recorded by Mikael Werliin May 14th, 2022, at CODES Festival, Lublin.
