about

With "Cerulean" (a color of the blue family), 'Fiktion' aka. Gustaf Lundh, returns with 33 minutes of new sonic material consisting of seven instrumental, melodic, electroacoustic tracks - each packed with wistful organs, classic synthesizers and cracked noise. This is Lundh's first release in collaboration with the art collective, festival and record label PLX.

Approximately 15 years ago, Lundh - at the time settled in Halland, Sweden, yet originally based in Gothenburg - released a single titled "Subjektiv", an excerpt from his second full-length album "Morfint", which came to be one of his most artistically significant tracks. Sensational states has been, and still is, a red thread throughout Fiktion's discography. The mood and title of this track refers to just that - moments when we subjectively experience the various strange phenomena of existence, not seldom mysteries of biology, weather and light moving in the borderland between perceived reality and the surreal. The single from "Cerulean" is a reworked version of this particular track, logically titled "Subjektiv II", which also make up track six along with six other individual pieces, three of them which are reworkings of old previously released material by Fiktion but also the acoustic, narrated 'Tungt Vatten' - an at the time sonic collaboration with swedish wood artist Markus Pettersson.

Lastly, "Cerulean" consists of interpretations of selected works by composers that have strongly influenced Lundh's artistic path, all of them more or less primarily oriented in old, vocal and organ / cembalo-based, sacral music: Johann Sebastian Bach, Diederich Buxtehude et al. Nevertheless, Lundh's body of work has become a sonically expressive language that constantly moves in the borderland between partly our secular present and sacred past, partly perceived "reality" and dream.
