RELEASE DATE
2/17/2009
A collaborative release between Icelandic experimental duo
Stilluppsteypa
(
Sigtryggur Berg Sigmarsson
and
Helgi Thorsson
) and Sweden-born
BJNilsen
. Based on a found tape from 1975 which served as guidance for the compositions,
Man From Deep River
opens up a new development in these artists' sound. Melodic passages with sweeping electronics and analog synthesizers mix with field recordings and disturbed voices, creating a multifaceted piece. BJNilsen defines his work as "
focused upon the sound of nature and its effects on humans, and the perception of time and space as experienced through sound
." He has numerous recordings on Touch and has collaborated with the likes of
Chris Watson
,
Christian Fennesz
, and
Z'ev
. Stilluppsteypa's electronic abstractions engage absurd theatrics that mar the pristine surface of minimalism. These lovable Nordic heroes are back with more intense listening and shining, isolationist compositions.
Man From Deep River
quickly develops between two lonely, desperate individuals, and the savage natives around him who turn against their own mountain god. This "illness" is caused by several deeply depressing circumstances and by the intense difficulty of other sickening situations. The musical expression of this story is described by Stilluppsteypa as "
an environment of high tension, but also with moments of temporary insanity and auditory hallucinations
."
