Igor – Kasagauma
The music is a tribute to two major sources of inspiration: the Dadaist Hugo Ball and the German kraut group Cluster. Somewhere out in the periphery, Ball and Cluster meet in a common idea that fits in on my way of making music: Everything has a sound and all sounds can be music by chance.
Dada and kraut were born for a time not different to our own. Both “movements” were a grimace at the glance of everything’s absurdity. It was a time consumed by aggression, political bitterness and scandal. Against the logic. Towards reason. Cluster considered it completely unreasonable to create a new progressive music based on German music history after the Second World War disaster. Instead, they sought the electronics and overseas models.
A true dadaist would prefer to have a thousand eyes, a thousand ears, a thousand feet, a thousand
telegram, a thousand pencils, a thousand guns, as it stands in one of the manifests.
From the wood bit, the word, the tone, the iron, the color, the feeling, the idea, should
the artist gives the insulated syllable a star’s glow.
On the umf I let the waveforms in a Malströmsynt float freely without rudder on the ocean. To set up the songs, I use percussion from Java and Japan. Around about sounds ornaments from old 70s and mellotrone.
The result is a music mosaic where each song title is the carrier of its own sound idea./ Mikael Strömberg

Yair Etziony – Job interviews
This is the last tune on the next Yair Etziony album which is titled “Requiem for a dying startup”. The record will be out on the label False Industries as early 2019.The idea for the record came to Etziony when he worked in a startup that got closed this year. Yair’s fascination with the process of death and decay turned into an album, a requiem for other people’s hopes and dreams, a research into a decaying organism, since companies are in a way being. The music was written in real time, so when the company got closed he finished most of the record that dealt with the demise of the company, Etziony wanted to add one more tune, a bit more optimistic symboling a new cycle of death and life that just started.

Niels Gordon – Helio
Niels Gordon started developing his own style of instrumental electronic music when rebuilding his studio around 2012. At this time he got rid of computers and DAW during the creative process to get closer to the origin of electronic music. The result is a kind of organic electronic music with cosmic vibe.
The latest EP ‘Central European Tyme’ is recorded live in the studio without the use of multi tracking or MIDI sequencing. Thematically it deals with the
concept of time and the European identity. Technically it’s a development of ideas founded during the creation of his debut EP ‘Ohrnacht’ Released in 2016 it contains a collection of tracks recorded while experimenting with analogue sequencers, synthesizers and drum machines in combination with cheap home organs and various effects.
During 2017 and -18 Niels executed his first live performances. Mainly in smaller clubs and festivals but also as warm up for his childhood heroes O.M.D. The live performance is executed by Niels alone without the use of computers or backtracking. Relying on analog sequencers and triggers to generate a dynamic and partly improvised set of electronic music.

Slim Vic & Görgen Antonsson – Saras Saga
The two musicians first appeared on stage in 2016 when they were invited to make a show to the opening ceremony of the Eurovision song contest in Gävle. The widely separated musical backgrounds led to a hypnotic and explosive meeting between ambient, techno and folk music. Playful and serious, contemplative and dancing!
This song ‘Saras Saga’ is taken from the theater performance ‘Änglaspel’ played at the Folkteatern in Gävle 2017 and 2018.

Alpha Mound – Dark Web
Alpha Mound is the recording project of Joakim Westlund. This song started out with the intention of making something minimal, but music often flows in it’s own direction and when preparing it for release in this years BWLM it took a more rhythmic turn in it’s climax with chugging bass, arps and delayed kicks.
Something ominous promising violent change and the hopeful light peeking through the Dark Web.

Oestergaards – Maal niir
“Maal Niir” is the first example of Oestergaard’s new form. He now leaves the chaotic debut album Rötterna’s industrial ambient and goes towards a more quiet dystopian soundscape. Acoustic elements are mixed with electronics and field recordings, but the dense darkness is constantly present, as always.
Oestergaards makes music with a shimmer of mystery darker than Dragon Gate’s history. A dystopian world of sound with essences of Hälsinglands rural society and the desire to get away from the traditional trodden musical paths.
Some hear references with dark ambient guru Lustmords early works, others see references to the film world, but it is clear that Oestergaards feel at home in the dark sound chamber.Oestergaards (born 1977) based in Älvkarleby with a background as festival organizer in Hälsingland and the front figure in traditional Americana band breaks his story and focuses on the compilation of electronic music.

LEHNBRG – Guidance
The modern ambient sounds on Guidance can be described as a fusion of the softest of sound worlds, meditative states and thoughtfulness, where David’s wayward musicality is highly present and on display. That allows the experimental side of things to play a more audible role in both space and time.
www.davidlehnberg.com/
In very short time David Lehnberg made a name for himself with his experimental electroica soloprojekt LEHNBERG, both as an energetic live artist and someone who delivers EPs and remixes with huge range both musically and geographically speaking.
David has traveled around the world numerous time on his own and as one of the two members of the indietronica band The Deer Tracks, and this is where his musical inspiration comes streaming from.

Llarks – Allure
Llarks is the recording name for American ambient guitarist and computer musician Chris Jeely. His music uses guitar, laptop and tape manipulation to create multilayered melodic compositions. “Allure” is taken from the current recording sessions for a new album to be released in 2019. This song began life as part of the rehearsals for my appearance on the Tonalism stage at the U.S. festival Bonnaroo. My set time was 3am to 4am. As such, I recommend playing this song loudly at night. music / image by Llarks

AKB – Siren
Anna-Karin Berglund (AKB) is a musician and composer from Gävle, the electronica pearl by the ocean. Her piece Siren contains melodies moving slowly, forming a menacing, drone-like atmosphere where the soaring laments are able to float freely across the sonic panorama. Kind of like a monotonous chant on repeat, like a whistle or a wail, or your worst tinnitus episode.A lingering echo of tapered layers creates a backdrop of slender siren calls.
The first release under her own name came in April 2016 on the EP Söndagsbarn (via Lamour Records), where the four tracks carries clear influences from the 70-80’s ambient with its space-fragrant, cosmic soundscapes.
