APL044 >> DANIEL BLOMQVIST - SKALLBERGET
[15.05.2007 | FROSTY PASTORAL POPAMBIENT]

"Skallberget" is Daniel Blomqvist's  debut release which has found a natural
home at netlabel Autoplate.  Daniel has been experimenting with electronic
music for 15 years - spending his leisure time  "sculpting melody, noise and
beat to fit what ever mood I happen to be in."  The songs took their form in
the Skallberget region of the Swedish city of Västerås where Daniel resides.
Using a laptop, and being mainly a diversion, the songs were created  over an
extended period of time during the late evenings in the living room of his
home which he occupies together with his girlfriend.

Daniel's music is personal and emotive being inspired by events or moments in
life and serving as a reflection of his mood. His music is varied, drawing its
inspiration from several genres, although, ambient seems to be especially
significant to "Skallberget".  The ambiance of "Skallberget" is smooth and
harmonious - born of carefully selected sounds and samples and then
meticulously sculptured into poignant soundscapes that are perfectly suited
for nighttime listening - so you'll not find anything coarse or overtly
dissonant here.

The ties that bind these songs, that is, those qualities that give
"Skallberget" its sense of cohesiveness, are the underlying  ambient backdrop
working in unison with the compelling emotional connections behind each song .
Other musical styles are also at play here which are clearly intertwined
within the aural fabric of "Skallberget".  "När Andra Sover" and "Själdestruktiv"
are dub-inspired soundscapes with the former being minimal and sparse while
latter is slightly more robust and dense.  The misty electronics, beautiful
melodies, and clear traces of pop-influences on "Juninatt", "Cement Och Glas",
and "Frost" suggest some comforting pastoral moments.  As alluded to in their
titles, the melancholic melodies and hazy, static minimalism of "Risk För Ras"
and "Midnatt Råder" hint at a late night urban landscape bringing to mind
images of dimly lit, deserted streets.  A blend of conversational voices,
piano samples, and warm orchestral ambience on "Tjuvlyssnat" allow for a homey,
nostalgic mood.
