Arv & Miljö
Jorden Forst (LP)
Huge Tip! An emotionally charged and bizarrely evocative look at radical environmental advocacy groups, mainly Earth First! and Earth Liberation Front, channeled through the memories of the Swedish Plogbill-movement and their actions throughout the early 90's. Monologue, snippets of interview segments, protest songs and site recordings are mixed up with the rather raw kosmische synth music Arv & Miljö has explored during the last couple of years. The result is a mesmerizing and multi-faceted aud…
Samling
Originally compiled as a two cassette release by Archivio Diafònico in 2016, now reissued as a double CD for optimum playback at your next MRI scan. Samling documents the earlier, "noisier" years of Arv & Miljö, collecting all compilation appearances from the project's inception in 2010 up to 2015. The project has since moved to a more ambient sound, having recently completed a stunning tetralogy of seasonal themed LPs (Svensk Sommar I Stilla Frid, 2018; Himmelsvind, 2020; Ensam Är Nattens Rymd …
Vålnad Av Fornskog
Tip! * Gloss laminated sleeve with double-sided insert.* Coming full circle, Vålnad Av Fornskog is the fourth and final part in Arv & Miljö's suite of seasonal ambient albums initiated with Svensk Sommar I Stilla Frid (Omlott, 2018) and continued with Himmelsvind (Discreet Music, 2020) and Ensam Är Nattens Rymd Över Vita Vägar (Discreet Music, 2021). Heavily inspired by the Swedish countryside autumns of the 80's, the album starts just at the tail end of the summer. Fragmentary memories of thing…
Ensam Är Nattens Rymd Över Vita Vägar
The third part in Arv & Miljö's seasonal ambient tetralogy, following up Himmelsvind (Discreet Music, 2020) and Svensk Sommar I Stilla Frid (Omlott Records, 2018). The 11 segments on Ensam Är Nattens Rymd are inspired just as much by the memories of long and cold childhood winters that never seemed to end as it is by walking home on slushy Gothenburg streets in the middle of December.
Based more on rudimentary back-to-basics analouge 4-track tactics, the lush and shimmering ambience from Himmels…

Mainly recorded during the easter holiday 2020 and the coming weeks, Himmelsvind takes us back to the spring time, where as the previous album Svensk Sommar I Stilla Frid (Omlott Records, 2018) explored the Swedish summer. While sonically a continuation of the ambience and new age gloom of Svensk Sommar, the general tone on Him…
Svensk sommar i stilla frid
**Edition of 300 Copies **The 7 compositions on 'Svensk Sommar I Stilla Frid' further explores the home-brewed, on-thin-ice ambient hinted at on a few recent Arv & Miljö recordings. Mainly inspired by Anna Själv Tredje and perhaps the lesser sides of Ralph Lundsten and such, this is the Gothenburgian outsider synth album no one certainly ever asked for. While at this time around being somewhat fully rooted in a proposed tradition of Swedish new age electronics, an ongoing heavy obsession with Ne…
Antropocen
"Antropocen" is highly conceptual full-length album from the Swedish master of audile concrete ARV & MILJÖ, a solo project by Matthias Andersson based in Gothenburg. Antropocen is a Swedish term of Anthropocene emphasized for the current geological epoch by a Dutch-born German atmospheric chemist Paul Jozef Crutzen. This album contains 8 tracks of monotonous concrete industrial with dense noise edge, a total sonic engrave casting a bleak shadow of an era we as all mankind breathe and survive.
Orientering I Denna Värld
Back to basic industrial noise carnage from Matthias Andersson (more known as one half of the chaotic harsh noise duo Heinz Hopf). Recorded in Gothenburg between September 2011 and January 2012 in the aftermath of the Utmarken years, Orientering I Denna Värld is a final closure to the concept initiated on the Öppna Vattendrag (Posh Isolation) and Förändringens Frö (Järtecknet) releases. Gritty, failing electronics, repetitive loops and processed fieldrecordings from the constructionyard t…
Ungdomsband
Matthias Andersson was able to create, release after release a very personal sound. Raw and primitive lo fi electronic presented in short tracks where, under a constant wall of low frequencies make their way disfigured field recordings, slow feedback movements and a claustrophobic hiss in the quiet parts which makes the texture deep and complex. Edition of 80
