“The percussionist Sven-Åke Johansson is performative. A way to measure space and time. Ever since the album Schlingerland (1972), he has kept each parameter in his playing in the air like a kite. Rolls, cymbals, the soft fabric of a towel flicking against drum skin. It is not necessary to underline that he manages to paint the whole picture, measure up total space, the big rhythm that envelops every performance, because all of this is self-evident.”
