Linus Hillborg, a Swedish composer and musician based in Stockholm operating in numerous fields, ranging from electronic musics and interactive installations to post-punk and noise groups. In 2021 he released his solo-debut Magelungsverket, derived from the installation Orphan Works (2019) which he built with an obsolete video game engine. He has previously put out music under the moniker Atonet, co-runs the imprint Moloton and is set to release new organ and violin music through XKatedral in 2022.
“This mix is a healthy slab of early electronics, soundscape music, punk, video game soundtracks and new stuff from me and friends.”

Linus Hillborg [Reste à la fin, les cendres  Curated by Mari] [31.01.2022]

My first attempt at working with sound without hammering my feet onto the ground, is an intuitive exploration of my throat cavity, on an evening when I was sick at home in Beirut. Inflamed by a stubborn allergy induced by remains of glass dust, my vocal cords rebelled in full disobedience, sometimes withdrawing into total silence, other times, dissociating words from sound, and sound from control.

Unsettled by the discord between thoughts, mouth and ears, I wanted to record the experience, before it vanished as abruptly as it appeared. I wanted to be able to come back to it after my voice clears out and dissipates the noise, that scraping noise, which urgently interrupts the normality of words. So I used my phone to record some random thoughts, alongside breathing techniques which I practiced to decongest my sinuses and try to regain, or perhaps lose, my familiar voice.

Hovering around body silencing, fragmentation and mourning deprivation, Down By the Pit of the Throat is an intimate sonic testimonial that reflects on the obsoleteness of verbal language in the face of perpetual tragedies.

An ode to flautists #2. Those who play with their breaths, daring and vulnerable, who metamorphose voices and play with their souls, to cross all opposing emotions like a single breath of air.
