If you haven’t heard of Fredrik Mathias Josefson yet, under which rock have you been hiding? We are talking about one of Sweden’s masterminds in electro-acoustical composing. He has three master’s degrees on his CV to prove it. Maybe you know him from his older musical incarnations, as he has been active as Moljebka Pvlse, and he was the Pvlse in Negru Pvlse with Peter Nyström (Negru Voda). “Cedars Avenue” is a 20-minute composition, and there is so much in there that I can’t even begin to tell you what and where. The complexity of the layers is enormous and between the layers, there is a lot of interaction. At some point, jazzy horns or other wind instruments are changing into the sound of ambulances, and you are simply incapable of telling what it is anymore. The chime sounds can originate out of anything, and even if electro-acoustic compositions aren’t your ‘thing’, you will want to hear this piece to know what it’s all about. Simply mesmerizing.
