Claus Haxholm pt. 2 . Old stuff

So this time we have come to the past.
two records. released via the bsbta label in 2004.
in the summer of 2004 i was asked to play at spot festival, but i had only released a track on a bsbta sampler from the year before.

So Christian Kann (BSBTA labelboss) asked me to release more songs- which was gathered as "very small pieces of music and sound". I only had a crappy computer and the 60 secs recorder from windows. but still to this day i think i've got some good songs out of it. it consists of songs from 10-60 seconds(with one except- the last song, from when i discovered some "tricks"(naah not really) in the recording program). The sound on this record is more folky and guitarbased in contrary to the second EP i released, it's also far more critic and serious in it's sound than #2; Tyst Ep- eventhough the recordings of Tyst was made in the winter-spring of '03 it was first released a year later. i don't know why. perhaps i was'nt as sure of the recording's "quality" as with the Small Song EP.

The Tyst Ep is more light-hearted, spasmodic, and i mostly used keyboards, though the guitar as a "baseinstrument" appear in two tracks.

The sound was later (in the summer of 2005,re-made/produced/mixed till autum of 2006, i think) continued in a session with goodieparl van deer 2xsteen (voice and sounds) and the jazzdrummer kresten osgood (voice, beatboxing, and childrens keyboard), but was never released, and will not be, since i'd come to the conclusion that one disc of that music (though it might be considered "darker") should be more than enough.

But what these two lack in commoness of instrumentation, they both share the fact that everything is improvised, a thing i have continued to explore ever since- with one execption, my third Ep (which won't be uploaded here) - that had elements of impro, but most of it was composed and rehearsed (at least once). Now that should be enough of that;
here we go.




thank you.
