Title Description:
Morphei is a soundtrack to a dream. A nighty-night record designed to make you WAKE UP and listen! Inspired by that in between state of wake and dreaming, when youÕre not quite sure whether youÕre asleep or not, this record presents a stream of realities seamlessly floating into each other, layers of events of acoustic and digital nature mingle; hear the Light-switch singing a duet with the Feedback-mixer, traces of Scandinavian wildlife intertwine with a tropical forest of digital insects, or hear the timestretched Teaspoon having a conversation with the Snow-balls of Thonk... you get the picture.
It is a very sensitive combination of field recordings and electronics, not unlike the work of Toy.Bizarre, for example. However, it seems to be more gentle, building up a space for the imagination very gradually and modestly. But it is exactly in the modesty that the strength of this work can be found. There is no rush getting anywhere; everything is done with an acute sense of timing, so that the listener keeps following in Sundin's track. The accompanying press statement indicates that the work is a soundtrack to a dream and for once, this seems to be very true. The track is indeed like the state between waking and dreaming, it seems slide from one state to the other without any apparent difficulty. A very good work indeed.
