‘Sjunger För Varandra’ (which translates to “Singing for each other”) is a brilliant new work by Swedish composer Marta Forsberg, and her third release on Warm Winters Ltd. Originally commissioned by Nymus, a local association for contemporary experimental music in Marta Forsberg’s hometown Härnösand in Northern Sweden, the piece is both an exploration of her roots and memories, as well a work which perhaps opens a new chapter in the composer’s remarkable creative practice.

The piece – presented as an intro, outro and 4 parts – is built around recordings of Marta Forsberg’s brother Tomasz singing in a tunnel underneath train tracks in central Härnösand. These tunnel recordings of a melody for five male voices (all sung by him), combined with studio recordings of his voice, as well as voice snippets of various conversations, electronics and strings by Marta Forsberg and percussions by Bex Burch are moulded into a characteristically compelling and powerful composition. Like Forsberg’s previous works on Warm Winters Ltd., ‘Sjunger För Varandra’ is impactful and striking, positioned somewhere between choral music, contemporary minimalism and electronic music.

Maybe things won't be so bad. Maybe your failures are but bricks in a non-failure wall. Maybe it's good to feel this way (so bad). Maybe. Certainty's in short supply. But it's here: 'Armilles' by Lamina, out on Twin System, premiered by Madjestic Kasual. Just maybe.

@qwqwqwqwa is an artistic outlet of producer and DJ Grigorii Gribov. In his live shows he explores bassy, glitchy micro-percussive music, navigating between UK bass, techno, ambient breaks, illbient, and downtempo with a touch of early 2000s IDM.

He has released albums on labels like Grid, and Neoplasm and contributed to compilations by Comic Sans, Xpone, Neoplasm, Radio Fantasia, 29 Speedway. As a Dj and selector he made podcasts for NTS, Rinse France, Retreat, Mutant, Ola, syg.ma, Kiosk, Gimic radios.

His latest mixtape Rejecting Fragility, released on Xpone, 2024, is a recorder of emotions and experiences collected during a year of immigration to Tbilisi. Delving into new surroundings, the mixtape acts as a postcard that envisions the technogenic bustle of Tbilisi. Similar to Fashion Music for Scammers, the release takes shape of a diary entry and attempts to record the constantly fluctuating moment of emotional fragility, where the atmosphere within the magical and serene corners of the city’s surroundings switches up rapidly with its concrete coldness, and the deep wormhole that is its nightlife.

The online radio station Retreat Radio has acted as a unifying force on the underground scene in Malmö for close to a decade and now offers its first compilation of original music from its vast community.

A community grown exponentially like a virus, with Retreat Radio as the source of infection, comprised of artists in various stages of despair revelling in hazy ambient, angular industrial rhythms and post-dub influences. Now bringing you 24 tracks of frog-induced head music made for a sad generation that wanted to be club kids but had no club to go to.

Many - if not all - of the names behind this mammoth of a compilation are Retreat residents with current or past monthly shows on the programme. Many of whom have walked the stark lit street at the outskirts of town at night to climb a spiral staircase above a carwash to play their shows.

Loosely centered around the interpretation of dub as a genre, the compilation hand-picks a curation of tracks which nonetheless point to a coherent vision: that of dub as a vital cornerstone in the development of new music reflecting on an urban post-capitalist environment.

exit spell

Dead Loop, is a meditation on risk, memory, and the haunting legacy of forbidden movement(s). The titles of the two tracks—1972 and 1977—refer to when the infamous gymnastic bars move, the ‘Korbut Flip’, was performed for the first (and last) time. Deemed so perilous the flip had to be banned from international competition following its first execution at the 1972 Munich Olympics by 17-year-old Soviet gold medallist, Olga Korbut. In 1977, another Soviet gymnast, Elena Mukhina, modified the risky flip with an additional twist… cementing the move’s mythological status with an additional re-iteration.

Over two brief sides of tape, Flora Yin Wong narrates the myth of the forbidden Korbut Flip with elongated, processed, and looped layers of the kemençe (an Eastern Mediterranean stringed instrument found in Turkey, Greece, and Iran). The strings of the kemençe are bowed, plucked and struck, echoing the gymnast’s own uncanny motions, cycles, and steps on and around the bars. Flora Yin Wong manipulates the sounds through various pedals and GRM Tools to craft an unpredictable diptych of haunted soundscapes. Recorded in London, this music is immersive and tense, brimming with a sense of suspended risk, much like the gymnast tumbling around the bars.

Limited Edition tape. Pro Dubbed at Monotype. Printed at L'automatica letterpress in Barcelona on 100 year old Heidelberg machines. Artwork by Oficina de Disseny.

Dead Loop - 1972 [Preview Clip]

Sozinha não consigo estar
Por isso liguei-te
Bora passear

Tenho tanto para te contar
Espera aí tá ali um homem a querer chatear

Passamos na baixa 
Olha o sítio das bifanas 
Anda almoçar

Tenho tantas saudades 
Nem consigo aguentar

Vocês fazem de Lisboa
Um sítio onde não consigo estar
Mesmo que queira muito
Não consigo aguentar

andorinhas a voar

Dei-te a minha mala 
Ajudaste-me a carregar 
E eu moro num terceiro andar

Em vez de irmos ás aulas 
Ficámos a cantar 
Mas com cuidado para não nos ouvirem gritar

O maluco tá com um cheiro de enjoar
Espera mais um bocado que 
Já vamos bazar

Vocês fazem de Lisboa
Um sítio onde não consigo estar

O preço da renda há ainda de aumentar
Um dia não vamos ter onde estar
Mas não te quero ver chorar

Havemos de nos arranjar
 
Vocês fazem de Lisboa 
Um sítio onde não posso estar

Olha as andorinhas a voar

Andorinhas (a voar)

cabeça cheia de merda coração cheio de amor

Andorinhas (a voar)

Anaís
