Kalle Widén is contrast.An eerie calmness covering glossy costal cliffs. An arm reaching over your chest at night.
Glowing saturated tape machines and light reverbs. Birds chirping and guitars dying.
Keyboards through tube amps and whatever the term ’Nordic Instrumental’ means.
Native to the west coast of Sweden, Kalle Widén is a punk-turned-indiekid-turned-artsy-jazzer-turned-americanaist. Fusing his love for music that breathes with electronic elements, he creates a breeding ground where both analog & digital may sprout, grow and bloom into pretty little flowers. Beside nurturing this musical flora & playing with bands like Easy October, The Cult of Boydah and Resilient Dreamer, he runs Studio Enheten, working as producer, tech and mix engineer.
His latest album ”I tider av samhörighet hör jag havet inom mig” (In times of togetherness, I hear the sea within me) was conceived together with Theatre Spera with support from the Swedish arts council, exploring what happens when maritime science meets performing arts. The third album is currently being recorded at Studio Enheten with musicians from all over Sweden, and the album will drop sometime when 2026 turns into 2027.
May 2026 he’ll head out on a short trio tour covering Sweden, Germany & Denmark, spreading the good gospel of his take on instrumental music that sounds not-quite-jazz-but-somewhat-improvised-one-leg-in-pop-melodies-and-ambient-but-not-fully-in-the-Brian-Eno-kind-of-way-ambient-also-experimental-but-with-solid-recognizable-parts. Sounds messy and a tad bit juxtapositional? It really isn’t. Or maybe it is. Swing by and hear for yourselves.
