Pelle Vallgren

Pelle Vallgren is a Swedish drummer working in experimental improvisation and music that crosses jazz, ambient sound and exploratory rock. In Stockholm he performs with REKON, a project that began as a duo between guitarist Leif Jordansson and reed player Daniel Borgegård Älgå before expanding with Vallgren on drums.

REKON's collective performances combine acoustic instruments with sampling and electronic textures. Vallgren's contributions move between rhythmic impulses and the more spacious sound environments of the group, including collaborations with electric pianist Lisa Ullén, trumpeter Mike Lloyd and cellist Helena Espvall.
