Jonas Torstensen returns to Discreet Music with the second
Franciska album, following up the much praised Tryghed (Discreet Music
12) that was released in early 2023. Since Tryghed came out, Franciska
has quickly become an established forefront of a young, new generation
of Scandinavian experimental DIY musicians. This time a joint effort
with his longtime friend and collaborator Camille Helt Haarder, the new
album is dedicated to their shared hometown Odense in Denmark.Mainly
based on piano loops, cello, field recordings and a sparse use of
electronics, the album is a culmination of an already pretty much
perfect run of unique, shimmering tape music. While the palette might be
familiar, the emotive sharpness and general preciseness on this album
could be seen as a direct result of lots of recordings and performances
the last few years. Still heavily utilizing cassettes and rudimentary
hands-on editing, the raw compositions are at the same time more
developed and refined. A truly special record that very much captures
the essence of not only Discreet Music but what excites us about
relevant contemporary music in general.Recorded between January
and October 2023, mastered for vinyl by Martin Lindum Cederholm. Comes
with insert with liner notes by Jonas Torstensen.
