Eter is comprised of improvisations with various starting points, all of which have emerged from a long-term investigation of the sounds that dwell in the acoustic steel string guitar, and of the music that dwell within the fingers, and within the heart. This collection of music turns into a journey between, on the one hand, textural improvisations in which the use of preparations and objects renders it difficult to identify the guitar as the source of the sound, and on the other, more melodic adventures in which the instrument is played in a more a traditional way.
Finn Loxbo is a guitarist with a focus on free improvisation. His music is usually on either side of two dynamic extremes: quiet acoustic or very loud.
On the quiet side we find him in his own ensemble Kommun, as a solo act and in collaborations with, for example, Skogen. Examples from the louder side are Kyosaku, Anna Högberg Extended Attack, and previously in bands such as Doglife, Strändernas svall and Fire! Orchestra.
