Releasenotes:
I've been friends with Johan Gustavsson for a long while now - first through his
music as Tsukimono (glitchy noisy drone dreamy electronics stuff that somehow
stayed undiscovered by too many people) on labels such as Mechanized Mind and
Komplott. Later on I organized some gigs for his instrumental rock band called
Scraps of Tape. Some time ago Johan found a battered cd-r with old recordings he
made for his grandmother, playing them to a couple of friends (who some of you
might know: Nils Frahm & Peter Broderick) - who encouraged him to do something
with those beautiful recordings. After some months of thinking and tinkering he
finally sent me 'For Ingar Gustavsson'. A lengthy album, humble, restrained and
precise and with a lot of respect. Imagine Arvo Part as a bedroom musician,
laptop processing his Fur Alina pieces with the same understanding and
confidence that he originally composed them. Stretching them out into wise, vast
wintry landscapes. Embracing life/eternity like only the elderly can. You never
fell asleep so calmly.
Limited edition of 300.
