I'll be playing live in Århus October 2, at a SKROT-showcase together with Commodore Combat Unit, Ras Bolding and Papa Stein. I'll also be playing some records with Interzone, and perhaps give an encore with Ekkoregimet. It'll be at Musiccaféen, Mejlgade 53, doors open at 8:30 PM, and I'll be playing approx. 22 PM. Tickets are 40 DKR.

Both Empty Circles and the SKROT-compilation are now for sale in the Moby Disc shop i Odense. They can also be ordered online from Labelkollektiv.

The next Giedo Primo concert will be saturday may 29, at Urban Art Projects part of Havnekulturfestivalen in Odense. Commodore Combat Unit will also be playing, as will either Ekkoregimet or Genespleizer.

We will start at 9 PM, and should be finished in time to see Felix Kubin at Kulturmaskinen afterward. The location is at Vasagade 14, and it is free!!

I will be playing at the official release party for SKROT - The New Machine Sound of Odense saturday 8th of may, in the outdoor area Farvergården at Kulturmaskinen in Odense, as a part of Kulturmaskinen Festival.

As mentioned before I'll be playing with The Live Museum saturday the 13th at Rytmeposten in Odense. As it happens, I've also been asked to play some Giedo Primo-tracks as well. It'll all start around 21 o'clock it seems. Hopefully the SKROT-compilation will be completely finished by then.

There will be a Giedo Primo concert next friday (the 29th) at Støberiet in Copenhagen, approximately 21 o'clock. Ras Bolding of the SKROT compilation will be playing as well, and perhaps we'll do some Organbox stuff.

In other news: I am going to play a concert with the avant garage rock band The Live Museum on february 13th, at Rytmeposten in Odense. Not as Giedo Primo but just as a member of the band for this one-time reunion concert.

Giedo Primo - a short introduction

Giedo Primo is the name most often used by the electronic musician Jannik Juhl when making tracks or playing live. Over the last decade a specific Giedo Primo sound have been shaped, containing strong elements of analogue rave techno and old 8 bit computer game music, and sometimes described as a having similarities with electro, acid and breakcore, but in the end not sounding like much else around. Most of all it is a part of a unique style called skrot, which have developed in Giedo Primos home city of Odense, Denmark.

The music is made with a heap of more-or-less antiquated hardware machinery, and even the tracks that are later released are recorded as live one track takes. The result in a rather "raw", perhaps lo fi sound, and recordings that can never be fully repeated. The approach also makes every Giedo Primo concert a unique experience, with plenty of room for variation, improvisation and audience feedback.

In addition to the solo productions, Giedo Primo is working with several other projects. In particular he is half of the hardcore/acid/skrot-duo Genespleizer, but he is also involved in Organbox with Ras Bolding, and he have been playing with the unpredictable improvisational project Ekkoregimet, as well as with avant garage rock group The Live Museum. Sometimes Giedo Primo also works as a DJ, sometimes using the name Giedo Secundus.

News about coming concerts, releases or other activities will be posted on this blog, but it can also be used as a kind of Giedo Primo homepage, with discography, background, pictures and links. You can use the email address in the profile if you want to book or just get in contact with Giedo Primo.
