It's been nearly two years since Komplott released the higly acclaimed
debut album from Son of Clay, "Face Takes Shape" and it's with great
pleasure that we now present the follow up. With "The Bird You Never
Were" Andreas Bertilsson refines the fusion between acoustic sounds,
field-recordings and digitally processed material introduced on the
debut album. The result is a transparent and poetic work where the sound
and the timing itself is everything. Behind every manoeuvre there is a
decision.
In Bertilsson's musical works we find contrasts between the digital and
the analogue, between nature and urban life and between chance and
structure. The first track on the album is more closely linked to the
debut album with its intense atmosphere, while the following tracks are
more freeform and present a more elaborate use of wood- and metal sounds
and processed instruments like the guitar and the clarinet. Lingering
and tentative tones mixed with swift attacks of sound unite, form a
structure and then deconstruct to start all over again. The seemingly
simple grows into complex musical compositions full of detail, of
precise and restrained intensity where silence form a balance between
disturbances and tranquillity, the surreal and the ordinary.
The music of "The Bird You Never Were" is, despite its abstractedness,
bare, personal and direct. The sounds create a state which forms a
direct link to body and memory. Bertilsson creates a personal renewal of
his musical experiences from composers such as Morton Feldman,
Lars-Gunnar Bodin, Mamoru Fujieda, Akemi Ishijima, Jimmy Giuffre and
Talk Talk. A poetic soundscape takes shape where the sounds could be
seen as separate objects, focused timbres where every movement is
executed with deliberate and simple elegance.
Andreas Bertilsson lives and works in Berlin.
