STHLM svaga plays jazz and free jazz music quietly. They work with the limitations of precipices. Sounds emerge from the precipice of nothing and sit on the edge of existing. Here in this precarious state, a microcosm of detail, expression and effort are magnified. There is an endless exploration in the liminal space of becoming, sounding and decay.

For their 2024 Thanatosis recording ’Plays Carter, Plays Mitchell, Plays Shepp’, they collaborated with jazz icons Archie Shepp, Ron Carter and Roscoe Mitchell who they commissioned Die Rechnung - Chrystal Stairs - Blues - U-Jama, Desert lament and Never Sound More! from respectively. Ron Carter also came to Stockholm and joined the ensemble during the recording of Desert Lament for artistic guidance.
