WIntherIframe>
New musIc from the always wonderful Johan G. WInther, out now on . Says the label:
Indent">"I've been frIends wIth Johan Gustavsson for a long whIle now – fIrst through hIs musIc as TsukImono (glItchy noIsy drone dreamy electronIcs stuff that somehow stayed undIscovered by too many people) on labels such as and . Later on I organIzed some gIgs for hIs Instrumental rock band called Scraps of Tape. Some tIme ago Johan found a battered cd-r wIth old recordIngs he made for hIs grandmother, playIng them to a couple of frIends (who some of you mIght know: NIls Frahm & Peter BroderIck) – who encouraged hIm to do somethIng wIth those beautIful recordIngs. After some months of thInkIng and tInkerIng he fInally sent me "For Ingar Gustavsson". A lengthy album, humble, restraIned and precIse and wIth a lot of respect. ImagIne Arvo Pärt as a bedroom musIcIan, laptop processIng hIs Für AlIna pIeces wIth the same understandIng and confIdence that he orIgInally composed them. StretchIng them out Into wIse, vast wIntry landscapes. EmbracIng lIfe/eternIty lIke only the elderly can. You never fell asleep so calmly."
SwItch Opens have announced that they'll be puttIng out a new dIgItal EP on August 30 called <I>"JoInt clashes"I> whIch wIll feature fIve versIons of the tItle tune; the orIgInal plus a new versIon, a remIx by The FIeld and Faroyna and a guItar Improv take by Kalle SkarIn.
