Musette "Live at Landet 04.07.2009"

Promo (MP3-release)

Release date: 05-02-2010

Recently we recieved a recording of a concert Musette did last summer at the venue Landet, in Stockholm. It was recorded by someone in the audience on a cassette tape dictaphone, so the sound of the recording is very crispy and yummy and we decided to share it with you. All songs are new composions - never recorded before - by Musette (possibly to be on his forthcoming album).

Anne Laplantine "Spring Won't Find Us"

TS03

Release date: 26-11-09



Anne's music is characterized by her unique world of sounds. A world

where the melodies, like raindrops in a digital nature, form

a spectrum of colors, where delicate organic structures emerge and

her voice carefully floats on top and creates a perspective of the

landscape, where the compositions have a baroque feeling to them

all the while she plays to her mistakes and limitations; the result

is forever green pop music.



This material was recorded in 2006, when Anne, after declaring Berlin

was a retirement home, had decided to move back to Paris and (just like Marcel Duchamps

gave up making art for chess) leave music making for the board game

Go. However, once she got to Paris she discovered, despite her

farewell to music, that she had composed the material that we are

now releasing on the four track EP "Spring Won't Find Us",

which is the second in the series of 7" vinyls on Tona Serenad.



7" vinyl limited to 300 hand numbered copies.

Molnbär av John "I Wish I Could Draw Her Nose"

TS02

Release date: 03-11-09



A small selection of the sample-based compositions John Henriksson has made for the last few years have now been put together to a twelve minute sound collage titled "I Wish I Could Draw Her Nose", which makes up the debut of the solo project he calls Molnbär av John.



"I Wish I Could Draw Her Nose" is made from chopped and screwed sounds, humorous compositions and romantic melodies, where the image of Audrey Hepburn singing Moon River on the stairs of the fire escape and the hip-hop idols from younger days passing by on the streets below is constantly recurring. Collages of melodies, voices and sound recordings are collected with precision and warmth, sounds from countless - long forgotten - crackling vinyl singles mixed with dictaphone recordings; all in true hip-hop tradition since the early teens. Back and forth, to and from the cassette tapes, new cloudy horizons are created by sounds, where the crackling of the record is hard to separate from the sound of the rain, which is mixed together with the hissing of the cassette tape, which is hard to separate from the sound of the wind.



7" vinyl limited to 300 hand numbered copies.

I Wish I Could Draw Her Nose (A)

I Wish I Could Draw Her Nose (B)

Musette "Datum"

TS01

Release date: 24-02-2009

Patiently written down dates, noted with a piano and carefully collected on cassette tapes, one by one. An assiduous attempt to keep books of time, to sketch the events, the landscapes and neighborhoods with melodies and recordings of sound. For several years Joel Danell has been writing songs on a piano, all given the names of dates as if they were diary notes. The kind of notes where the writing, more than the words themselves, recounts for the moment of them being written: times of accumulation where the letters stand close to each other and reach far into the margin, moments of pensiveness where lines have been crossed out and others have been added and moments of excitement where the letters have gained in size and defied the ruling of the sheet.



"Datum" is the retelling of these notes with the help of violin, whistling, guitar, accordion and Dobro, recorded in Blackeberg January 2008. Pieces that recount for an otherwise forgotten day in April, that describe the view from a balcony in a Stockholm suburb in late October, that is a remembrance of the rushing bicycle and the

passing landscape in the beginning of June.
