Televiper Ever wonder what Popol Vuh might’ve sounded like if they hadn’t pivoted early but instead refined their original sound. This record answers that question with six transcended cosmic compositions. Favorite track: Klara skyar.
Mbourgon

Mbourgon Synth-led soundtrack, almost drone like, for quiet times and letting your head expand and relax.

Paul Osborne The cinematic sensibilities of this album are undeniable. Is it Popol Vuh? Is it Tangerine Dream, or even John Carpenter? 'Yes', it is all of those things... It is also hypnotic, epic and masterfully done. If it were a movie, I'd watch it. Favorite track: Mörkret på berget.

The gaye device Like some lost electronic soundtrack from an obscure movie, this is a gem of an album. Cosmic soundwaves create a nostalgic comfort zone. Full of authentic analogue synth sounds which create pastoral, brooding and beautiful vibes.

about

Nicklas Barker (Anekdoten, Kosmogon & My Brother The Wind) plunges into minimalistic, ambient dark waters with "Epektasis", six meditations of shimmering, minimal, electronic soundscapes, recorded over two weeks in September 2021 in Stockholm and the mountain village of Åre using two Mellotrons and an ARP Odyssey synthesizer. A palette of vintage keyboards and percussion through four looping devices, summoning celestial voices with meditative drones, in soothing infinite mysticism. 

Nicklas explains the genesis of the project:
”This music is rooted in the works of post-war, experimental, minimalist and electronic music composers such as La Monte Young, Eliane Radigue, Tony Conrad and Paulina Oliveros. All of whom have had an enormous impact on me through the years.” 

"Epektasis" is the second release by Tonbad Grammofon, after last year’s atmospheric Kosmogon - "Mässan". The label was founded by Nicklas Barker and Sophie Linder and is dedicated to contemporary electronic, ambient, experimental and psychedelic music.
