Last night I had this weird dream. You
were in it. We were on board a ship, a
large ship. And there were four huge
octopuses on the sides that pulled the
ship toward a big dark cloud. The ship
lurched back and forth so we had to hold
on to the rail not to fall off. And in
the middle of the deck there was this
elephant standing on two legs. Then I
woke up and now I can't remember what he
said to me. (From the film Sjunga slutet
nu)
Sjunga slutet nu (Sing the End Now), the
new long-awaited project by Hans
Appelqvist, consists of both an album
and a film. The work is about the angst
and silencing of death and the meeting
with the final end. The film and album
have the atmosphere of a fairy-tale that
feels both natural and original, a world
where talking levitating spheres seem as
ordinary as man. In it, we meet
Theodora, an elderly woman that lives in
a lonely house by a lake somewhere in
Sweden. We also meet her friends: the
six-years-old boy Vissen and the
levitating sphere Sot that often stays
close to Theodora's house or rests in
the pile of flour that lies prepared for
him in the kitchen.
Both the music on the album Sjunga
slutet nu and the film originate from
the same world. Part of the dialogue,
background sounds and musical scenes of
the film are used to deepen the
atmosphere of the album. The structure
is complex - threads are picked-up and
woven together in a way similar to the
free nonlinear narrative of dreams.
Once again, Hans Appelqvist invites us
to one of his oddly constructed worlds.
He has previously given us Att m÷ta
verkligheten (To Face Reality), a
musical piece based on interviews of two
girls, a Chinese woman and an elderly
German woman. We have walked the streets
of Bremort, an imagined Swedish small-
town. We have got to known the mythical
dream entity Naima, an oracle with a
pelican's head. Hans Appelqvist takes us
through unknown worlds where you don't
know what is dream and what is reality,
and through this, he makes us face
ourselves.
Like the house sparrow Tona, we have
questions to ask.
Why do dreams exist
She thinks to herself
on legs sore from anxiety
She can't understand
That her dream has opened
the door of a recess
where quietly a flame is blowing
with death up close
