Swedish experimental music coming up

by admin on September 10th, 2007

You’ve already seen the sleeve to Green’s Restaurant “Ekofiskfält” on the website for a while. This wonderful nugget was originally released 20 years ago as a tape, and for each year we celebrate with an extra bonus track. The CD comes with liner notes by Testbild!’s Petter Herbertsson (a.k.a Sjtjekn). Scheduled for release in october or november, but you don’t need to wait that long to hear a first sample: just tune in our next podcast.

Later this winter it’s time for another Swedish experimental classic; Datahysteri’s “27 Visions Of The Door”. This duo from Sigtuna made several great tapes in the late 80’s and “27 Doors” was one of the best. Of course with several bonus tracks.

Bendi releases russian ambient from southern Sweden

by admin on February 28th, 2006

At least one member from TESTBILD is said to be involved in Bendis latest infusion SJTJEKN, playing russian ambient with side effects. Sjtjekn is the sound of dripping rust coloured rain in a tin bucket, the buzzing radio waves under the blanket of ice, the squeaking of a forgotten machinery in the night. A contemplative and quiet threatening balloon ride over a future Russia, or the soundtrack to an imaginary Tarkovskij movie. “Noon Universe” is the album title, and it is scheduled to the end of march.
