Three Swedish netlabels in a new
collaboration project
In may 2008 seventeen Swedish artists on three Swedish netlabels
will give their view on time. Never before has a project like
this been done in Sweden. All releases will be available for free, licencensed under the
creative commons license |
Read more...
Tid, Swedish for "time", started as a poem by Hjorten from the
label Deersound, but pretty soon evolved into a project that
would involve three Swedish netlabels.
Time was the overall theme for the project and every artist was
allowed to freely interpret it. The result has become a wide
collection of songs; from experimental improv poetry, electronic
pop, trance and dark ambient to name a few genres.
Another aspect of the project is to let people know that there
actually is activity on the Swedish netlabel scene, there's not
only illegal music that you can download on the internet.
Release schedule:
2008-05-03:
TLHOTRA
(Two Left Hands On Two Right Arms)
2008-05-13: 23 seconds
