Franciska

*100 copies limited edition* Crumbling tape loops, broken glass sounds, micro-cassette feedback and songs for piano, voice and guitar sit side by side on this uniquely tender release by Danish artist Franciska. Submitted to the label on a cassette sent via mail with typewritten credits, 'Modfase' is masterfully restrained, constructed with a care and gentleness that's hard to find in today's "ambient" and "experimental" music circles. Each side contains multiple pieces which quickly shift between musique concrete, tape music, avant folk and drone; listening feels like flicking through a personal sketchbook, never dwelling on any page for too long. Truly magical, real music. This recording follows Franciska's wonderful run of releases on labels like Discreet Music, Janushoved, Forlaget Kornmod or Vaknar.
