Fylkingen is a society consisting primarily of practicing artists, devoted to the production and promotion of new music and intermedia art. Since its foundation in 1933, initially as a chamber music society, Fylkingen has been committed to experimental, new and unestablished forms of contemporary arts. The very first concerts of electroacoustic music in Sweden were arranged by Fylkingen in the early 1950's, and further radicalization occurred during the 1960's with happenings, musical theatres and text-sound compositions. Since then Fylkingen has regularly presented intermedia art and is the only forum for this in Sweden.
Fylkingen Records has long been an integral part of Fylkingen. Hitherto, Fylkingen Records has produced 30 LPs, 11 CDs and 1 CD-ROM with the emphasis on electroacoustic music/text-sound composition and contemporary chamber music.
On the occasion of the society's 60th anniversary in 1993, a book reviewing Fylkingen's history and containing an exhaustive list of all it's productions since 1933, was released [Fylkingen - New Music & Intermedia Art, ISBN 91-972403-0-3 (in Swedish)].
