Deep Breakfast 152 - Adhémar

Teaser clip from the half hour long piece "Myrskymielellä", adapted from a 1891 poem by the Finnish national poet, Eino Leino, taken from the upcoming self-titled album by new project "All That We See or Seem". LTD LP + Digital coming end of October 2022.

"Is all that we see or seem but a dream within a dream?" This quote from a poem by Edgar Allan Poe sums up the lamenting, primal work that is "All That We See or Seem"; a project conceived between Finland, England and Brazil. The self-titled album consists of two long-form pieces of droning mysticism hailing from the trio of Gruth (concept, production, electronics), Ellen Southern (vocals, field recordings, percussion) and Johanna Puuperä (violin, modular synthesizer, additional vocals).

All That We See or Seem - Myrskymielellä (teaser)

This clip contains 2 tracks from the upcoming soundtrack album from the film "Schächten". 1. "Slaughter" 2. "Hope Through Confusion". Released December 9th. 300xLP + Digital.


________________
Erik K Skodvin's feature-length score to Thomas Roth's thriller "Schächten" feels like the epitome of all his musical projects, conjuring a dark cinematic trip through 1960's post-WWII Vienna in a film that touches on topics such as law, justice & revenge.

Releasing a soundtrack as a stand-alone album can be challenging; and "Schächten" is by no means a typical listening experience. The record contains 24 more or less short pieces evolving through dramatic movements, underlaying menace and deep emotive scenes. One thing that stands out is the linear atmosphere throughout the story which creates a wholeness that keeps your attention to the very end. Set in wintery Austrian landscapes in dimly saturated colours, the film's dramatic events with dark political undertones feels like a perfect situation for Skodvin's atmospheric collages - perhaps sounding closer than ever to his early works as Svarte Greiner or Deaf Center. Cello, violin, piano, analogue synth and plenty of hardly recognizable instrumentation come together in a record that feels very organic in its subdued tones. The score also features percussion by Andrea Belfi as well as a Chopin piano interpretation by Kelly Wyse to the bizarrely schizophrenic piece "Judenfreund".

With the contemporary world sliding into darkness again, listening to the soundtrack feels like coming to terms with ones own anxieties - something that in the end comes through as a cleansing experience. As quoted in the film "Everyone is their own devil. And we make this world our hell".

Short synopsis : "Vienna 1960s - The young Jewish business man Victor has to witness how the prosecution of a Nazi crime against his family fails. The political and legal system is still virtually run by former Nazis with large parts of society being entangled in the past. When Victor also loses his grief ridden father and his girlfriend’s family opposes their relationship and his identity, Victor begins to loose faith in formal justice and takes matters in his own hands."

Autumn in Albion is always magical. Gold, red, and bronze, the quivering leaves glow in the perpetually slanting light, light that reveals yet also creates the deepest of shadows. As the season unfolds, the leaves fall, the mists rise, and the clouds lower. And the veils get thinner......

Leading The Life In The West (For Siavash Amini)

370 years ago this weekend, Alice Young was the first witch executed in the American colonies (26th May 1647).

And She Did Smile As She Swung

They are the Dead Days, these days between Christmas and New Year. A quiet, limbo period of between-festive blues, of waiting, of reflection. A chance to reflect on the year passed and the year to come. A chance to enjoy being quiet. Read a book, a quiet book. Listen to music, quiet music. Let go, listen well and you will hear, there is a magic flowing beneath the quiet, beyond the fog, through the Dead Days.
