Flickering Lights feat. Alvaro Suarez (Landhouse Remix)

This is a studio version of a piece that I performed at the Wandle Arts Festival on Saturday July 8th. 2023 The festival was organised by the Wandle Industrial Museum.
The field recordings were all recorded in Merton, near or by the River Wandle. Listen out for running water recorded in Wandle Park and the sound of rain falling into two watering cans. The track also features some electric mandolin playing by myself.

Notes to this recording:
Last April, I went to a floodplain forest in southern Moravia to capture a bombina bombina at one of the wetlands. No sooner had I settled down on the shore than the bombina bombina starts to call. My son fell asleep in his bicycle seat, it was beautifully quiet, no wind, no people, so ideal conditions. I quickly connected the equipment and started recording. After pressing the record button, I heard a small sport plane approaching me in my headphones. It circled over the wetland and then over the floodplain forest continuously for twenty minutes, yes really twenty minutes. It alternately receded and approached. I cursed quietly and preferably away from the microphones, so luckily my comments are not heard on the recording. The next day I downloaded the recording to my computer and was determined to delete it. But I listened to the recording. Something happened that I didn't expect. From the first seconds, the picture seemed to me as a compositional unit. The hum of the aircraft engine entered the recording with gradually increasing volume and began to create a harmony in the lower frequency band to the call of the bombina bombina. Since then, I listen to nature sounds and the sound environment differently. During the recording session, I took a photo of the location and my son sleeping on the bike. I decided to use it as the cover image for the whole album Jaro because it reminds me of the day I started listening a little "different"

Bombina bombina and a small sport plane

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.
