Marcus Fjellström ~ Exercises in Estrangement / Gebrauchsmusik

Exercises in Estrangement and Gebrauchsmusik were Marcus Fjellström‘s first two albums, originally released on Lampse in 2005 and 2006.  Listening to them now, in pristine new editions from Miasmah, it’s remarkable to consider how contemporary ~ even futuristic ~ they

ACL 2017 ~ Top Ten Experimental

This may be where music is headed ~ but then again, maybe not.  These artists are iconoclastic in their approach to sound.  From radio waves to distortion, puppetry to improvisation, they blaze their own trails, and those who can’t keep

The Experimental section is our home for improvisors, alchemists, and pioneers.  These composers are never satisfied with the status quo.  They seek to push music forward, and they prefer progress to popularity.  Some may eventually receive a small amount of

Between the fury of the opening “Storm” and the raucous of “Finale” exists a highly nuanced and enthralling miniature epic. In a manner true of all Fjellström’s releases so far, the music casts a devilish, unsettling spell on its listeners
