release date 06/11/06.
incendiary electronics from gothenburg.
a lifetime in the making (and a year or two or actual production), "i am the fire" is the full-length debut release by the idealist, a swedish musician with a penchant for the subversive side of atmospheric noise. this 6-track album is a through-the-keyhole (earhole?) look at the mind of a man who lives, breathes and dreams of sounds with an organic feel but an electronic bite.
joachim nordwall (b. 1975, karlskrona, sweden), the idealist, began his experiments in sound as a young boy. in 1987, he formed the alvars orkester with jan svensson, in which they mixed electronic sound with an interest in psychic broadcasting. he was particularly active within the independent music scene of the 1980s and 90s, releasing work through the börft records label. after a brief hiatus, alvars orkester has recently (january 2006) released the "interference" album on london’s ash international label, showcasing their superb analogue sound experiments.
from 1998-2005, he was part of the avant punk rock trio kid commando, a band that toured europe several times. also in 1998, he founded the ideal organization as a platform for his ongoing work as an artist, label owner and curator of the near-legendary ideal festival for the last four years.
nordwall has collaborated with many artists, including henrik rylander, lasse marhaug and leif elggren. he lives and works in gothenburg, sweden and is a founding member of experimental rock band the skull defekts (also with henrik rylander) who have two releases on aa: "open the gates of miner" (aa04) and "rotating feedback & save the skull" (aa05/ideal036), two limited edition releases with deluxe card sleeves. the skull defekts are also releasing a long-awaited full-length studio album in 2006. |
