Very friendly, first release when Komplott launches it’s new line of defence

Komplott launches a whole new series of releases based on the Maginot Line. The Maginot Line was a line of fortifications, obstacles and casemates, used to defend the French borders, but which failed miserably. Maginot will take an alternative route to the traditional releases on the Komplott label, dedicated to presenting music in a manner that separates itself from the established forms of music releases. The project will allow space for failure and is envisioned as a kind of backwards and slow, yet circumstantial and comprehensive ’grand uncle’ of the digital sound avalanche. Maginot may prove to be impulsive, askew and at times even foolish. The first release in the Maginot Series is Very Friendly, which is a comic book project created by the Swedish sound artist Ronnie Sundin. Very Friendly is a project that subjectively collects its material from the world of experimental electronic music and will mix stories of an autobiographical nature with historical accounts. The first issue of Very Friendly will be released in the spring of 2009 and will present stories on Sundin’s first meeting with the ’legendary’ Norwegian noise musician Lasse Marhaug in Trondheim in 1998, The world premiere of Desérts by Edgard Varése in Paris in 1954 and a very strange gig by Throbbing Gristle at the Cryptic One Club in London, 1978. This issue will also be accompanied by a soundtrack to the Trondheim story provided by Lasse Marhaug himself, pressed on 7” vinyl. Other planned releases in the Maginot Series include a yet untitled collective project where a number of acts under the Komplott umbrella will be participating. New compositions by Hans Appelqvist and Hanna Hartman are also under way. Komplott will also continue releasing music in the more traditional album format. Andreas Bertilsson is working on the sequel to the album Det fysiska och det psykiska. The new album will be entitled Själens Ö. Also, composer Erik-Mikael Karlsson, who generally works on Swedish public radio, will be releasing his first album at Komplott.
