Antifascista – background and context

Antifascista is an experimental music piece rooted in a concrete real-world incident in Salem, Sweden, in December.

The background is video footage from a 2025 attempt to restart the Salem march – a neo-Nazi demonstration that previously took place between 2000 and 2010 and was met, during those years, by widespread counter-protests across Sweden. In the footage, a clear counter-voice can once again be heard.

Hearing this chant – “Antifascista, Alarma, Alarma” – became the trigger for the idea behind the track. The project began as a pure experiment. Initially, AI-generated voice material was used, but the result quickly became too distorted and uncanny. As a result, the voice was re-recorded and reinterpreted manually, with full control over the expression.

All music, structure, and sound design were produced in a DAW. The focus was on shaping a coherent composition rather than documenting an event. I am personally opposed to AI-generated music, which is why the material was completely reworked and finalized through traditional, manual production.

The release was approached with some caution. The content may provoke reactions, and the project was not originally intended for release at all but now, I has been published at submithub to “test its wings”. At its core, this is an experiment – to see whether the material works in its context and whether it has a place to exist.
