This is the first collaborative release of Alpha Mound and Tidsrymd, and the topic of this particular sonic meditation is the altered state of dreams. Combining our resources we have made two pieces combining synths, electric piano and processed guitars, somewhere in the realm between ambient, doom-jazz, post rock or ethereal, minimal shoegaze. It's a slow building wall of sound, meditative but forceful, emerging in spacey, atmospheric, rolling melodies.

The EP is accompanied by a music video created by Alpha Mound (a.k.a. Joakim Westlund). The video takes the viewer on a colourful journey through space, using original video material from the ESA/Hubble-telescope, manipulated, combined and overlayed with still images by Joel Filipe, Gaetan Othenin Girard, Anfal Shamsudeen & Casey Horner (which are further manipulated and animated).

On The Run

method: merging emf recordings (soma ehter) with voice and electronic instruments
narration: are we even noticing in what way we are acting outside our immediate range of perception?
image: self-gimped from my own photo, copyright jo richter

poem / copyright jo richter:

in other senses
prominent slivers have turned loadstone amber
fluctuating
surf spraying in intensely spiking charges
in alluring, apparently random patterns

listen in closer
to appreciate the peculiar nanopercolations
emenating
from devices attached to humanoid eels
crowded along a crust of diminshed plasticity

the oil-spill beauty
of chromatically shared capacitive fields
signalling
majestic confusion, an irradiating yearning
to shelter within forces of overload frugality

this harshness, too
will yield to the momentum of temporal fugality
giving way
to the meandering grace of wavelength dragons
singing their songs in the old astral tongues

The World Concludes

We have heaven in our hands and we create a hell. We always believe that it is someone else's fault and never our own.

The End Of Summer

We reach the end of summer
of the days of waking wonder
once more dreams are pulled asunder
hear the distant peals of thunder
There is smoke on the horizon
For the hard men are no wiser
Where's the forgiveness merchandiser
to gainsay the hatred sermonisers

oh we throw, we throw it all away
Yes we throw it all away

You can keep all of your losses
all your faith and your good causes
all your righteous indignation
all our hope for our salvation

The End Of Summer

I sat at the piano
Playing so free
I feel the changes 
Changing me
Is this something new?
My heart beats amiss 
Maybe it's bliss!
