Listen "Bullret i byn - Episode 2"
Episode Synopsis
‘Noisy Neighbors’ (Swedish title: ‘Bullret I byn’). A audio documentary in 3 episodes by Mattias Wallenius.
For over a decade, noise complaints have shaped the music scene in Stockholm. Many venues have been forced to close down or move due to neighbors being disturbed.
”Noisy neighbors” (Swedish title: ”Bullret i byn”) investigates the relationship between music, sound and city life in the Swedish capital.
The series follows Fylkingen, one of the oldest still active organisations for experimental music in the world, as they are being evicted from their venue after almost 40 years. But they are far from alone.
A series in three parts, where the sounds of the city, memories and actual noise complaints submitted to the Swedish Environmental Department blend together to create something between a documentary and music in itself.
