Wall of Darkness

This is a selection of electro-acoustic pieces composed by Lars Bröndum between 2021-2022. The thematic threads in these works are inspired by concepts from books by e.g. Arthur C. Clarke, J.G. Ballard, Karl Ove Knausgård and by scientific ideas and theories such as the the Big Freeze, the Mycelium and the Möbius band. On this album Bröndum explores a more orchestral approach to electroacoustic music using sound masses, microtonality, micropolyphony as well as complex rhythmical ratios. Some of the pieces has been performed live and/or as fixed media in Sweden and USA.

All music composed, mixed, mastered and perfomed by Lars Bröndum. © Lars Bröndum 2021-2022.

Lars Bröndum: Buchla synthesizers, Wing Pinger, Sidrax Organ, assorted Eurorack modules, Theremin, Moog synthesizers, Arp2600, continuuMini and other electronic instruments.

Abductee

Since the 1950's, there have been over 2,000 documented stories of kidnap by extraterrestrials. It can be assumed that many more remain unreported. Incapable of resisting, the abductee is taken from his or her surroundings to an apparent alien spacecraft where invasive physiological and psychological procedures are performed. After being returned home and disheveled, the abductee must live with the psychological, physical, and social trauma for the remainder of their lives.This album was inspired by the terrifying and often similar events told by the various abductees across the globe.

Recorded in Cary, North Carolina, US, by Mombi Yuleman.

The Fabric of Space and Time

Vongoiva, nowadays knows as an audio-visual duo, started as a solo project of Heikki Lindgren. The first release "Smudge Tapes" was published in 2014 as C-cassette. Later Vongoiva aesthetics steered towards darker sound. "Palovankka" (live 2016) is a dark, shamanic drone inspired by a solo excursion in wilderness area of Saariselkä. "Ajan Verkko" (2018) is the last Vongoiva audio composition before it became an audiovisual duo with Ville Westerlund. It is a long drone music piece inspired by the fabric of space and time, contemplating the proof of the origin of the universe lingering in the radio waves - the cosmic noise.
