Little about the artists .... This is the first collaborative release of Alpha Mound and Tidsrymd, and the topic of this particular sonic meditation is the altered state of dreams. Combining our resources we have made two pieces combining synths, electric piano and processed guitars, somewhere in the realm between ambient, doom-jazz, post rock or ethereal, minimal shoegaze. It's a slow building wall of sound, meditative but forceful, emerging in spacey, atmospheric, rolling melodies. The EP is accompanied by a music video created by Alpha Mound (a.k.a. Joakim Westlund). The video takes the viewer on a colourful journey through space, using original video material from the ESA/Hubble-telescope, manipulated, combined and overlayed with still images by Joel Filipe, Gaetan Othenin Girard, Anfal Shamsudeen & Casey Horner (which are further manipulated and animated). About the artists Alpha Mound is the recording project of Joakim Westlund, who, since 2012, has released many albums, EPs and collaborations. His style is focused in the ambient genre and sometimes mixed into more deep going indie-electronica and kraut sounds. The sound design is always a main feature where you can find complex melodies alongside slow drones and spare rhythms. Tidsrymd is the moniker of recording artist Johan Ohlsson. So far two digital EP:s have been released on Stålverk Records dabbling in neo-kraut, ambient and minimalism. Johan is also a member och the lo-fi electronic duo A Farrago.
