The Opposite
The Opposite was initiated by Loïc Dequidt and Peter Nilsson with a desire to investigate improvisation and interplay through a collective approach. Their music is based on rhythmic concepts, partly inspired by the musical traditions of India, Africa and Cuba. The group's instrumentation and open approach creates a wide spectrum - sonically, dynamically and rhythmically. The group made it's debut performance at Palladium in Malmö on October 3rd, during KOPAfestival 2008.
