Register. A. Obstinate. Pyramid-shaped
body. A scent of camphor around him.
Prefers mashed food to firmer
consistencies. Thrives in the evenings.
B. Past occupation as deckhand. Odd
first look. Rests during daytime if
given the opportunity. Kind but has high
demands concerning oneÆs friendship even
in to him less flattering circumstances.
C. Tubby and lively, gleeful û but with
sad false bottoms. Carries untreated
ballast that rolls when the light is put
out, screamed wildly in sleep once.
Unexplainable interest in fruit
cultivation.
Applied working method. Information is
written to the environment. Stimuli,
atmosphere, delicate movements. A few
channels are recorded, these trigger
reactions, semi-automatic overdubs,
complementary actions from others.
Carried-out work seems to define new
building structures. Instincts, learned
patterns and responses, spontaneous
additions and supplements. Two chords
are played, then two again, four, they
are lust-permuted, four, a metal
whistle, a faint howl is cut in, the
elements are permuted, permuted, lust-
permuted.
Bio:
Swedish trio Tape was set up in 2000 by
brothers Andreas and Johan Berthling
with Tomas Hallonsten. Taking cues both
from pop, experimentalism, and
minimalism their sound has become
recognized internationally and is
clearly something of its own.
Their first album Opera was released on
the HΣpna imprint (which Johan is a co-
owner of) in 2002. Working intuitive,
all by themselves, they created mini
symphonies out of electronic sounds
paired with a stunning melodic lyricism.
With an array of electronic and acoustic
instruments at hand they recorded at a
small stone barn on the island of ╓land,
east of Sweden. 2003 saw the release of
Milieu, recorded at the very same barn.
These recordings had a more arranged
feeling and a clear pop sensibility in
some parts.
In 2005 they went to Cologne to have
Marcus Schmickler produce and record
their third album Rideau. This was done
in his Piethopraxis studio in Cologne
and his involvement left traces; an
almost architectonical approach was
taken and some of the intimacy that
characterized the first two albums were
replaced by a harder edge.
In 2006 they collaborated with Japanese
duo Tenniscoats on their album TanûTan
Therapy. The same year they recorded in
Tokyo with Japanese quartet Minamo,
which resulted in the record Birds of a
feather. In the years, their touring has
taken them to places like Japan, Taiwan,
USA and most parts of Europe. Since
Luminarium (2008) they are working out
of their own Summa studio in Stockholm
and during the last two years they┤ve
recorded what has become Revelationes,
their 5th album.
