‘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.

Savvas Metaxas - Folk Tales & the Rain (Side B extract)

Water ripples all around, and echoing sounds stretch out into a shady sub aquatic habitat. Its dark corners slowly burst into view as cresting noises reveal fresh caverns teeming with liquid life. This is Sueños Acuáticos, the latest sonic exploration from Lamina, a musical project by French artist, Clarice Calvo-Pinsolle. Built from years of carefully gathered field recordings, the album constructs immersive, detailed soundscapes where watery environments, caves, and forests intertwine with digital manipulations.

Rooted in the myth of the ‘Lamina’, a creature from Basque folklore, the project blends this oral tradition with technology to build a geological myth. The Lamina’s world—a nocturnal ecosystem of water and stone—serves as the foundation for the album’s sound design. Lamina reshapes these natural recordings into something new: stretching, pitching, and layering them to build intricate sound environments that feel simultaneously organic and synthetic. “I transform these sounds much like I would sculpt in ceramics,” explains Calvo-Pinsolle, “by adding, removing material, and imagining landscapes.

Drawing from hydrofeminist and posthuman ideas, particularly those in Astrida Neimanis’ Bodies of Water, the album treats sound like water—shifting, flowing, connecting, and buoying life. Tracks flow into one another without clear boundaries, much like the natural currents they represent. The result is a continuous listening experience, inviting deep focus on texture above melody.

Lamina is exploring the potential of the field recording as a compositional tool. Natural sounds, like trickling water or wind through trees, are processed out of recognition—or cliché. A sense of weightless immersion takes hold as Lamins’a music unfolds, and listeners float freely and choose their own adventure in the Lamina’s home. Less a set of songs than its own evolving environment, Sueños Acuáticos (‘Aquatic Dreams’ in English) is a meticulously constructed work in which we can freely float.
