Bettina Hvidevold Hystad
Artist duo, Simon Torssell Lerin and Bettina Hvidevold Hystad, have undertaken a cultural pilgrimage in the footsteps of Damo Suzuki. They have explored various methods of art production by collaborating with someone they share ideas and strategies with. From placing a classified advertisement in a Swedish newspaper, Suzuki left Japan in early 1968 ending up in the village of Gräsmark. A booklet was created which documents what happened to Suzuki in Gräsmark and how he kept in contact with his Swedish friends after becoming a member of Can. During the summer of 2012, Lerin and Hystad travelled together with Suzuki to Japan, exploring ideas of improvisation and music as a platform for communication by documenting the Damo Suzuki’s Network Tour. On the 11th of February 2013, the duo performed an improvised concert together with Suzuki at Fylkingen, Stockholm. This album presents Suzuki and the duo’s journey together, as well as a live recording of the performance.
