Suite 208

Underdog

The idea is to create an interactive hotel room, transmitting the concert hall feeling of loss and loneliness that hits you like a freight train when the show is over and the curtain finally goes down.
The last chord ringin’ in you tinnitus-damaged over charged ears, ... alone again, stumbling to the parking lot…. recreated vibes and echoes from the past, still present in the ashing northern lights, and now forever captured in the walls of this last psychedelic polar resort. A travel through decades, crossing lands and oceans.
We, the last surviving space cowboys, still hang out here, forever sur€ng on the last feedback noise from Neil´s old Gretsch White Falcon, closing down the Fillmore East. Set the controls for the heart of the galaxy, step up on the stage folks, you’re the main act at the Fillmore North.
This is your magic fifteen minutes of fame and glory, we love you!

Ingemar Almeros & Peter Bävman

Ingemar and Peter met at art school 20 years ago. Peter has since worked as an art director for feature €lms and Ingemar as a teacher, graphic designer and illustrator. Their suite is made in conjunction with technical support of Interactive institute, Umea. ‘.... rhythm & blues and guitars carved in our minds and tattooed in our souls. … standing tall joined by a restless desire, passion and a burning interest in girls and guitars, a monumental non-interest for blue – and white collar work, obsessed with British and American rhythm and blues.

No retreat, no surrender … we were soldiers of the rhythm nation, we were brothers by the blood, blinded by light….’ ‘… Nothing too very scienti€c, just life in a series of ashbacks... peace, brothers and sisters! Thanks to the Tools- and the Sonic-studios, Interactive Institute, for making our dreams come true! Be sure to visit the web sites below.’
