Big Picture

The Big Picture（大片），瑞典音樂人Mikael Salomonsson的單人團(tuán)?，F(xiàn)場樂隊(duì)主要由來自Springfactory、Television keeps us apart等樂隊(duì)的樂手朋友和前The Gentleman Racer的老隊(duì)友組成。樂隊(duì)給已有的歌曲嘗試新的編配，賦予它們新的生命與活力。這支現(xiàn)場樂隊(duì)總在不斷更換成員，往后恐怕也將一直如此。因此The Big Picture只能算個(gè)人計(jì)劃，唯一固定不變的成員只有歌曲創(chuàng)作者M(jìn)ikael Salomonsson。。
2009年夏，The Big Picture將以完整的樂隊(duì)形式開始中國巡演，包括北京、南京、上海、杭州四個(gè)城市。這將是一段奇趣美妙的旅行。他們將帶來動(dòng)聽而豐富的聲音。不論是indie的律動(dòng)還是pop的深情，美麗的旋律是他們的標(biāo)志。
The Big Picture is music made by Swedish musician Mikael Salomonsson. Since he joined his first band in junior high school he’s been involved in several bands and music projects playing diverse styles of music. Parallel with the bands there has always been a solo project, and after 2006 (when Mikael’s former band The Gentleman Racer decided to stop playing together) The Big Picture became the main thing.
The First CDr made under the name The Big Picture came in 2004 and since then there have been 2 more CDr:s. The last one, entitled “Songs from a hard sleeper”, came in 2006 following a trip to China and India (Hard Sleeper is a train carriage class in China). It was not until the finishing of this CD that The Big Picture started to regularly do shows. With the help of friends from other Stockholm bands like Springfactory, Television keeps us apart and former The Gentleman Racer members Salomonsson began to play clubs and events in and around Stockholm. In the summer of 2007 The Big Picture also played the demo stage of the Quart festival in Norway.
With The Big Picture Mikael Salomonsson aims to combine great song writing influenced by people like Elliott Smith, Cat Power and Neil Young with the playful productions of contemporary indie and lo-fi music. Growing up in the Stockholm suburb Haninge (known for giving rise to a lot of great Swedish bands), the creative spirit of the Haninge musicians has been a great influence for The Big Picture.
