LYDLANDSKABER - 12" vinyl LP plus CD

LYDLANDSKABER by Ekkoflok is an extended sound work released as a combination of 12 inch vinyl (LP) and compact disc (CD).
The album exists somewhere in between genre labels such as ambient, drone, abstract, experimental, electronica, avant-garde, noise and sound art.
Created entirely using homebuilt sound sources including a Serge inspired modular synthesizer the instruments becomes an extension of the composition itself.
All tracks are so called "one-takes" - recorded live in the studio directly to a portable recorder with no computer in between. Inspired by the compositional workflow traditionally known from the world of jazz music it adds a degree of edge usually not found in the sound-on-sound approch commonly found in electronic music production.
The compositions all derive from initial improvisation and sound exploration and are captured as these moments arise. If a track is not sufficiently "finished" a new take is made - often resulting in a whole new piece of music. The opening tune "40 BPM" reached it's full potential in the third take as noted in the title.
