Seven double-bass pieces, where phrases, onsets, and interstices has been collected, cut up, shuffled by design and by chance, dressed in new timbres and regenerated in countless versions. Timmer, a solo album by Johannes Burström, emanates from improvisations which has been extended into the listening moment, through a mosaic of algorithms and intuition. Released digitally and on http://timmer.fi.

Dyad is a thorough examination of the physical and aural boundaries of the double bass, shaped by the turbulences from a string-filtered feedback loop. 

Recorded on a damp but clear winter's day in the archipelago outside of Stockholm. A piezo microphone was plugged into a computer running a custom software patch, returning the signal to be played back into a transducer mounted on the top of the double bass. The recording has since been cut in both ends and extended vertically, with varispeed echoes from additional microphones, chords and field-recorded bridges.

Music for a performance by Malin Skoglund, featuring a game master and four players competing to find happiness. An existential drama in a game show context. The soundtrack consisted of gongs, sound effects, plundered popular music, muzak and dark ambiences, and last but not least a couple of lovely songs by <a href="https://soundcloud.com/katamsler">Katrine Amsler</a>.
