HalsteHALStER is a guitar trio from Malmö, Sweden, and consists of Anders Lindsjö, Mattias Nihlén and Adam Persson. Using acoustic, electric and prepared guitars they since 2008 play dynamic intense improvisations. HALStER has cooperated with well known improvisers as, among others, saxophone player Martin Küchen and American guitarist Eugene Chadbourne and made a row of performances in Sweden but also in Copenhagen and Berlin. Music can listened to at: soundcloud.com/halsterNext coming release is a 7” vinyl on Swedish label Solförmörkelse. The three members have a long and disparate background in different musical projects: Anders Lindsjö was part of the free improvisation-movement in Sweden in the late eighties after returning from a couple of years on the New York scene. Played with amongst others Mats Gustafsson, David Moss, Sten Sandell and Raymond Strid. The recent years he has done a lot of collaborations and recordings with among others Christian Munthe, Angharad Davies and Jakob Riis. Mattias Nihlén has mostly worked with his soloproject VED in a fusion of folk- and progressive rock and ambient soundscapes. Among his many collaborations is a trio with Anla Courtis (Argentinian guitarist from legendary Reynols) and Klingsor playing music to silent films. Adam Persson has a background in experimental rock groups such as Kürten, Klingsor and Nyckelbarn. Also worked on the performance scene with the American/Swedish collective CTB, and made text-sound compositions with Swedish author Pär Thörn.
