When I was at Eastman Studio in April 2015, I met Andreas Axelsson, the drummer, for the first time, and Mats Burman, a guitarist who played bass that evening, and we improvised. This is the first "outtake", or track that just didn't fit anywhere, in the process of recording both “Superfluity” and Sista Maj’s “Series of Nested Universes”. But it wasn't.īass, drums, piano, violin (Nathaniel) recorded live in an improvised session at Eastman Studio, Stockholm Sweden. This could have been developed into a highly ornate composed piece, I guess.

This is literally a bridge between improvs, where you hear the album, you will see that it came after Peony Spies and before Like a Diamond Outtake from Sista Maj's album "Series of Nested Universes", on Space Rock Productions! see This was also on the Great Learning Orchestra "Miniatures" album.

Yet another studio outtake, this one made from Mellotron backing tracks (yes, the Mellotron was invented to back people up with whole band loops, like the Optigan!) plus violin, Waterphone and whatnot. …something Marlowe said when she was very young, getting used to English. Yup, i did it all myself, all high 'round the campfire and shit. I always wanted to do death metal about flowers and children, so here you go. And apparently at setting mic cables, because the floor tom track had something else on it, so it's not there.Īnyway, Valborgsafton is the day before May 1st, Walpurgisnacht in German, where they burn bonfires and scare the witches away before the May comes. I was setting up drums in preparation for recording with Sista Maj, and before the other guys got there I played this to check levels. Here's some doom metal mixed with a bit of synth and what the hell ever else. This was a solstice track from winter, originally on Soundcloud as a freebie, now part of the mandolin world here. Violin, acoustic guitar on tabletop with ebow, and Tenori-On More mandolin improvisation with added glockenspiel, vibraphone and violin. In this instance, we are leaving the bar when we run into the Pooka, who takes us on a night-long adventure that shows us the history of mankind and the trials and tribulations of your own ancestors, the connections to the beginnings and endings of the world, and then dumps you back in the driveway at 4am.

Skerry!Ĭonfabulation is the process of making up stories that you end up believing as true!

Trying to be a sixties BBC TV show theme.Ī skerry is a lump of rock that sticks up out of the water, like a tiny island. Mandolin improvisation with added vibraphone and violin, during that week when I had the studio keys! You can find thematic material all over the place on that album, and here. Part of the set of improvs at Roth Händle Studios that were built into songs for the Superfluity album. These tracks are mostly the outtakes from the making of "Superfluity" (see for more information), which is to say, the completely superfluous music that didn't even make it to the album.ġ) Not Trying to Transform Into Something I’m Not
