Exact reproduction LP of a Swedish release from 1970. A bit of confusion surrounds this release: The album has been credited to Träd, Gräs och Stenar, but they aren't featured on it. Bo Anders Persson did, in fact, in collaboration with Solvieg Bark, compile, edit and release this album. Bo Anders Persson, was a member of the legendary Swedish bands Harvester, International Harvester, Pärson Sound, and Träd, Gräs Och Stenar. Solveig Bark was one of a few young composers that, through the UNM (Young Nordic Music Festivals), would become a contemporary of Erkki Kurenniemi, Folke Rabe, etc. Reportage: Spela Själv roughly translates to 'Play Yourself.' It contains field recordings of amateurs playing/making sounds. Travelling throughout sweden that year (landing at many of the yearly festivals more famously worked by tgos & ih-offshoots ) Bark & Persson both documented & participated in an improvised array of ad-hoc violin, hand-percussion, mouth-harp and bass/guitar/harp “jams”, captured in-situ (along with lots of environmental sounds ; children laughing, wind, crowds) with Persson capturing everything in blurry detail on his portable tape-machine (the outcome of which makes up the contents of the music herein). Raga Concrète, if you will. A fine, rare, and lovely piece to behold.
