TM404 - SYRA 

The evolution of Andreas Tilliander’s moniker TM404 has reached its third stage. The first TM404 album was a heavily self-restricted concept album, live recorded with classic Roland machines. The subsequent album had a more playful vibe, shaped by Tilliander’s extensive live touring. This third TM404 album on Kontra-Musik simply tells the story of what he’s been up to since. The third part of a musical diary, initiated in 2013. 

The TM404 venture might have started out as a dreamy acid dub project, more suited for the chill-out than the main floor. But by popular demand Tillander found himself touring big clubs around the globe and the TM404 sound adapted organically. As a result, the album features tracks like Vactro and Rymdeko: fast paced acidic techno tracks in the same vein as classic Plus 8 releases, but with more space echo. Much more. 

But never fear, fans of the classic warm and bubbling TM404 sound. You’ll certainly get yours as well. A substantial portion of this album was recorded in a studio flat in Berlin as part of an artist residency. For obvious reasons, Tilliander could only bring a small portion of his studio gear to this German sanctuary. As a consequence, this album has a more stripped down vibe than its predecessors, which creates more space for Tilliander’s glowing melodies. The last track on the album, a loving homage to Kontra-Musik’s label boss, is a sublime example. 

And for the Instagram generation, here’s the short version: The album is called Syra. That translates to Acid. You’re welcome.

TM404 - Drumati (Taken from the LP Syra) 2021

Last year I was fortunate to meet the master Mr. Lee Perry, the inventor of modern music.
I spoke to him about music, vampires and vegetarianism for my radio show Ström.

This sound piece was used to promote the interview.

Across eight tracks, Tilliander and Kajfeš masterfully balance slow, lumbering machine pulses, delicate synth textures, and impeccable trumpet lines. Tilliander’s use of both analog and digital synths carve out the structure of these sonic sculptures, while Kajfeš’s elegant trumpet playing pushes against them, infusing the dreamy soundscapes with both acoustic tension and melodic detail.

Individually, Andreas Tilliander and Goran Kajfeš have long been recognized as leading names in Swedish electronic music and jazz, respectively. Both have consistently pushed and transcended the boundaries of their genres. Tilliander has explored everything from techno, drones, and dub to clicks’n’cuts under monikers like TM404 and Mokira. Kajfeš has been a relentless innovator in jazz, playing a central role in bands such as Oddjob, Subtropic Arkestra, Tropiques, Nacka Forum, and Fire! Orchestra.

Now, they join forces, forging a new path for both ambient and jazz music.

Tilliander - 10yearsdub (2011)

http://repeatle.bandcamp.com/

Here's something nobody wanted or requested - a new album by the long forgotten band Minimalistic Sweden. Or actually one person asked me three weeks ago if we still exist. We hadn't recorded any music together since our CD Standard Klickmusik was released thru Mikael Stavöstrands Mitek label back in 2003. Seventeen years later, here we are again with Triptyk, a record we created during three weeks in isolation by sending files back and forth. Hope you like it and if you do - please support us by pruchasing the album. It's only 7 euros and if you purchase it today, Bandcamp is kind enough to give us the full amount. Nice one, Bandcamp!
