wndfrm these pieces reward focused, attentive listening.. full of temporal dislocation, those moments where your surroundings evaporate and the sonics impose their own subtle inquisition.. an abundance of trembling detail, yet still deeply atmospheric.

about

Since I started to experiment with sound in 1989, I always used acoustic sounds even if my music has always been mostly electronic (apart of some field recordings compositions).
This album is the first solo album I do that mostly contains acoustic sounds and few electronic ones.

On most tracks, the computer was used for basic editing (reverse, pitch, cut, paste, mix, in rare cases effects).
Bethink is the only purely electronic piece, mostly made of recordings done with a Serge analogue synthesizer at the EMS (elektronmusikstudion.se) in Stockholm in 2019, it contains synthetic sounds created during the composition session at Syrphe, Berlin.
Passage contains a few sounds created with the same Serge modular too.
I like that name (passage) because it can be read in different languages (Swedish, French, German, Portuguese, Dutch, English and more) and has various meanings, so you might never know what it means for me.
Butoh is the last piece of the CD, this track is not included in the digital release.
