Greetings, I am Gustaf Lundh. Here you can find a collection of things my mind and hands put together in music composition (Fiktion & Onomi), sound-design and art. For assignments related to Coherence Therapy: I am currently working within the psychiatric field, and studying for psychotherapist license, thus my private clinical practice is limited at the moment.

NEW ALBUM by FIKTION: "Cerulean" will be released through PLX Records on digital platforms January 13, 2024.
|
Title: Cerulean Artist: Fiktion Label: PLX Records Release date: January 13, 2024
Length: 33 min Track list: 1. Aperta I, II, III (10:52) 2. Dans för Två II (03:33) 3. The Scent of Kiev II (02:22) 4. Morbus (02:55) 5. Lacrima III (02:34) 6. Subjektiv II (06:04) 7. Spes (04:24) Credits: Composition, production and mix by Gustaf Lundh except specific interpretations: (1) A. Pärt, (4) J.S. Bach, (7) D. Buxtehude. Recording at EAP in Stockholm during Spring 2023. Master by Rashad Becker. Press text: With "Cerulean" (a color of the blue family), FIKTION(Gustaf Lundh) returns with 33 minutes of new sonic material consisting of seven instrumental, melodic, electroacoustic tracks - each packed with wistful organs, classic synthesizers and soothing noise. This is Lundh's first release in collaboration with the art collective, festival and record label PLX. Approximately 15 years ago, Lundh - at the time settled in Halland, Sweden, yet originally based in Gothenburg - released a single titled "Subjektiv", an excerpt from his second full-length album "Morfint", which came to be one of his most artistically significant tracks. Sensory states has been, and still is, a red thread throughout Fiktion's total discography. The mood and title of this track refers to just that - moments when we subjectively experience the various strange phenomena of existence, not seldom mysteries of biology, weather and light moving in the borderland between perceived reality and the surreal. The single from "Cerulean" is a reworked version of this particular track, logically titled "Subjektiv II", which also make up track six along with six other individual pieces, three of them which are reworkings of old previously released material by Fiktion but also the acoustic, narrated TUNGT VATTEN - an at the time sonic collaboration with swedish wood artist Markus Pettersson. Lastly, "Cerulean" consists of interpretations of selected works by composers that have strongly influenced Lundh's artistic path, all of them more or less primarily oriented in old, vocal and organ / cembalo-based, sacral music: J.S. Bach, D. Buxtehude & A. Pärt. Nevertheless, Lundh's body of work has become a sonically expressive language that constantly moves in the borderland between partly our secular present and sacred past, partly perceived "reality" and dream. |

New EP with ONOMI: BIOS. Release date 1st Dec 2022.
|
ONOMI - BIOS (2022) EP
Limited Edition Vinyl 12" Transparent Disc and a link to digital version of the album. BIOS derives from the Ancient Greek words of βίος; romanized bíos meaning "life”. The EP is 26 min and contains six tracks. 01. ALARM (5,47) 02. BIOS (5,27) 03. AFTERMATH (2,11) 04. BEHIND THE CURTAINS (2,05) 05. KERNEL P. III (4,49) 06. ORBIT (5,44) BIOS expresses a duality of hope and hopelessness regarding human life and the future of our planet. Onomi’s previous release, IRJA, was a paradoxically optimistic dystopia where there were no humans, only robots. Musically, BIOS is a continuation of IRJA, mixing electronic soundscapes with elements of classical counterpoint and electro-acoustic composition. BIOS can also be interpreted as a prequel to IRJA: it is a snapshot of the critical moment where humanity still has a shot at survival. ALARM, the first track, is a wake up call from a submerged world, unsettling in its low-paced urgency. BIOS, the title track, signifies the fervor and desperate energy of life itself, as it is born, sustained, and ultimately threatened. AFTERMATH injects a hopeful melody, signifying change and adaptation, into all of the harshness and struggle. BEHIND THE CURTAINS is an intermission that takes us to a hidden cache of playfulness and human expression. KERNEL is a reworked track from the origins of ONOMI, reminding us that there is always a core, a truth, that there is always a seed from which life and change can spring. Finally, ORBIT, the final track, is an escape, a return, or perhaps a peaceful reconciliation. We know that in space there is total silence. BIOS was written and produced while suffering from severe tinnitus; thus in a sonic environment where silence had to be imagined.

New mixtape in Swedish——about Rembetika: "1900-1949: Reglerad folkmusik—ett misslyckat projekt"
"Vi beger oss till Grekland, “Rembetika” - en urbansk folkmusik som i början på 1900-talet blomstrade på kaféer och restaurangpubar i storstäder som Aten och Thessaloliki. De förtrycktas musik. Hur uppstod, lät och mottogs denna livs- och musikstil?
Detta är ett mixtape av Gustaf Lundh med stöd av Helge Ax:son Johnsons stiftelse. All musik i avsnittet är från tidsperioden 1900-1949.

New album with Fiktion: "Gdańsk, POL-PAL, نابلس". Release 28 feb 2020. <3
Fiktion’s “Gdańsk, POL-PAL, نابلس” is a sonic imprint of a fictious journey, a musical collage of church organs, mechanical machines, trains, and field recordings from different regions across Europe and the Middle East, where different elements have been recorded, filtered, played back and re-recorded again.
The year is 2035 and you are on some kind of transport vehicle — a hybrid of a traditional electric train, a mechanical machine and a church organ. Twelve years ago, the European Council signed a decision to fund this railway line between Gdańsk, Poland, and Nablus, Palestine, operated by Hedjaz Jordan Railways and Al Nayzak Organization For Supportive Education and Scientific Innovation. The railway passes through 15 countries and constitutes a musical, artistic, historic and anthropologic journey. There are multiple stops along the way, with treats of local cuisine, drinks and music, as well as initiated narration by dedicated guides.
“I have always loved the authentic expression of different cultures and languages, whichever part of the world it may be. I equally love the church organ and the train. The organ as a mechanical and musical phenomenon with its machinery, pipes and additive synthesis, and the train as a source of sound and a cultural means of transport.
The recordings in this work are mostly from Poland, Ukraine, Kosovo / Serbia, Greece, Turkey and Palestine / Israel. Boundaries between countries are a way for people to develop identities. They create community and bind people together in language, culture and art. At the same time, this process also leads to simplifications and a diminishment of nuances and tolerance. This is why I think education and contacts across boundaries are vital for a constructive society to mature.
These three aspects — the sonic, the sociological and the mechanical — form the basis of this album and this piece of sonic art.”

MIXTAPE #6: 1950-1969: "Kriegskinder"
Fragmentariskt, glödligt levande och utan upplösning. Så brukar minnena beskrivas av den generation som växte upp under och i ruinerna från andra världskrigets Europa. ”En död kvinna flyter på vattnet med ansiktet nedåt. Hennes kjol fylls med luft likt en ballong, vinden blåser i den och hon seglar längs dammen.” Liknande berättelser som detta porträtteras i Frederike Helwigs porträttsamling “Kriegskinder”, engelsk titel: The Children of the War. Genom filtret på ett barns ögon, får vi ta del av fragment stundtals vardagligt tråkiga stundtals chockerande.
Mixtapet bygger på musik komponerad cirka 1950-1970 (Ligeti, Popol Vuh)

VERUM 2014 - Short film, choir and church organs
23 Mars, 2014
My second short film is called 'VERUM' and will be shown in Stockholm 8th and 10th of April.
8th April Kl 18:00 - with KMH Sångarensemble - Stora Salen, KMH Stockholm 10th April Kl 19:00 - Audiorama, Skeppsholmen Stockholm VERUM (Synopsis in SWE) Verket vill manifestera ett rum, en helig plats lik väl för den troende som för agnostikern eller ateisten. Jag har inspirerats av den tid när sakral musik började bli flerstämmig, alltså åren cirka 1200-1500. Texten berättar om människans evolutionsgrundade förmåga att förkroppsliga minnen, förtränga smärtsamma mentala upplevelser känslor för att i största möjliga mån överleva situationen eller sin upplevelse av den. Detta gör att det mentalt uppstår två ytterligheter och kraftfält. Rummen som verket manifesterar blir för var och en, ihop med text och sång en plats att hämta kraft och styrka för att lättare nå koherens - sammanhang, samstämmighet. |
