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 http://www.hapna.com
