Album Notes
Full performer name: Leif Elggren/Per Jonsson/Kent Tankred.
Recorded at EMS, Stockholm, Sweden between 1984 and 1989.
UGN was used for a performance at Fylkingen, Stockholm on January 12, 1985.
MAT was used for a performance at Moderna Dansteatern, Stockholm on May 19, 1989.
The activities of Sweden's Leif Elggren and friends blur the lines between sound art, composition, and performance art. Among their exploits are recordings of laughter, snoring, vehicles, and unexplained voices; experiments with dreams, beds, corpses, and politics; books of random names and obnoxious letters written to celebrities; and the administration of the imaginary Kingdom of Elgaland-Vargaland.
UGN/MAT documents two separate performances. The staged presentation of UGN ("Oven," 1984) involved a pot of porridge, 27 girls dressed in white, tools, actors, and smashed porcelain. Take away the spectacle, and you're left with 25 minutes of low-definition rumble highlighted by windy noises, sporadic clamor, and a climax that sounds like a recording of an airport runway. MAT (whose staged presentation was "Food," 1989) begins after a minute of silence. Again, the stage elements--a dog in sheep costume, 10 actors with false beards eating potatoes and pills--are incidental, bearing little relation to the disc's 35 minutes of stilled drone. No doubt it all means something, especially when played loud, but it's still very odd.
