about

released as a free download by Post Global Recordings in 2012:
post-global.com/releases/post005.html

the release notes are as follows (perhaps not written on one of my happiest days):

I don't remember when or how these tracks were made, but I do remember a longing and a tiresome dance between hope and despair. I have always been searching for something true in music but never really finding it. Just sometimes catching a shadow or a small flicker of something beyond the actual sounds. My first memories in this life are of music, and I still remember the feeling clearly: it was as if there was a distant memory somewhere beyond the sounds, a different world, an infinite love, ever expanding. It can not be found in the sounds, but the sounds can point to it. It is beyond the duality of beauty and ugliness, light and dark. It is nothingness but at the same time it is fuller and richer than anything we can find in the world of objects. All things come from there and return there again after doing a little meaningless dance in which they believe they can exist apart from this. It is silly for me to try to express what it is, but I know that all the music I ever made have been vain attempts at capturing this fleeting realm and bringing it into something finite - like a piece of music with a beginning and an end. This will forever be impossible, for what object or sound could capture the eternal? It can only dream.

If some of you have ever read some of my albumreviews (which I prefer to see as promotion-pieces to expres my passion and love for that album/artist), you’ll probably have read enough about my feelings towards physical albums (cd’s/vinyl), that without a doubt grew in my childhood, as I was gazing at albumcovers, even smelling the vinyl and reading all the words on the cover and innersleeve.. But slowly I started to accept these modern times as it is hard & expensive for self-promoted artists to release physical product. Ludvig is one of those supertalented, incredible gifted and hard working artists, and I’d love to have his entire collection on cd and vinyl..! It’s hard to describe what I feel when I play this album.. It’s just almost too much in terms of beauty that enters my sensitive soul.. Created out of passion, love and from deep within.. This one crosses my path at exactly the right moment.. Thank you Ludvig, your music, art and words inspire & comfort me.. Berkdrums
