Mattias Petersson debuts on the Swiss label Hallow Ground with »Triangular Progressions,« a suite in nine parts written entirely in the SuperCollider environment using additive synthesis. The starting point for the evocative piece is a magic number triangle that Petersson invented during his early composition studies and which has been an obsession of the artist for over twenty years, previously forming the foundation of many other of his works. By exploring the harmonic progressions found hiding within the triangle, »Triangular Progressions« at once emits a sense of introspective calm that fosters deep listening and evokes a whole spectrum of emotions, mediating between the abstract and the visceral.

The Stockholm-based Petersson, also known under the moniker Codespira1 and for his long-term collaboration with violinist George Kentros as There Are No More Four Seasons, has been active as a composer of computer music as well as an artist in the realms of live coding and modular synthesis for over two decades. Originally trained as a classical pianist, he also holds a diploma in electro-acoustic composition from the Royal College of Music in Stockholm, where he currently works as an associate professor. Besides his activities as a musician and teacher, Petersson is pursuing a PhD in composition at the Luleå University of Technology. Researching modular systems comprising both human and non-human modules, he is part of the GEMM))) Gesture Embodiment and Machines in Music cluster.

»Triangular Progressions« can be considered a perfect synthesis of Petersson’s academic interests and aesthetic ideas, combining a mathematical approach with artistic rigour. The magic number triangle highlights the beauty of symmetrical properties. By exploring its idiosyncrasies, the composer manages to translate them into engaging sounds. The lush melodies and harmonies of the music at times call to mind the intimate organ and drone works by label mates Kali Malone and Maria W Horn while also maintaining a unique signature sound. The addition of pure sinusoidal waves enables a deep listening exploration of the counterpoint between melodic and harmonic rhythms, chord structures and spectral harmonies that Petersson extrapolates from those magic numbers.

Lots of selfmade, mostly bedroom- or cellarproduced tracks here, different styles because of different moods and music tools, often selfmade instruments, allways experimenting and in search of sounds and soundmaking stuff, harmonic or non-harmonic....and all free to listen and to download ...and if you want to use one of my tracks or try a collab, just ask, do it and tell me about it... all in terms of Creative Commons...
I have to make music every free minute, allways full of it, and, about time, I have a lot of toys to do this ... these tracks are my kind of relaxing and i will do it till the end of my time...
I hope, you like, what I do....You may find a lot, but no autotune and no AI, I swear...
You cannot OWN music, you only can MAKE it.... (something, Neneh Cherry said)... and so I do...
I never learned an instrument, I am an analphabet in music theory, but that's not important: 
I AM an instrument and there's always music inside me.... and I go on...
SC is my diary: The diary of my steps into the world of music since 2012....
if you want to know something about that: you're welcome!
One of my tracks is especially made for you...

「自分はまだまだスキルや経験としては非常に未熟です。本当はこんなものを世に放ったところで、それを聴いて良いと思ってくれる人なんて居ないかもしれません。表現せずにはいられないという極めて強い思いが、そのまま音となって出てきたような作品達。自分のそのときの最善を尽くしているつもりですが、それが世の中で面白いと思われるとは限りません。
自分が今まで聴いて良いと思ってきた作品のように、何か感動するものを作りたいだけなのですが、とても難しいと感じています。2023/8/10」
