The Swedish National Council for Cultural Affairs supported this record project.

The music on this record stretches from 1993 to 1996. Different inspirations throughout this period provided the themes. The only exception is the song "Videpiano", hatched from an older idea. This version of the song is from 1996.

Andetag
Reactions I couldn't foretell, nor specify, sometimes.
Comments unnecessary, but Now, as close to the Heart as I can be.
Chinese in kilt meets unswinging Tyrolians in brassglitter, as the
overture to the performance affords space to the clown's Jungle-
book visit, where strolling elevated women try impossible amphor
balance.. I Fly and Forget, push the dust further, escaping, against
and with Time, into loneliness and surprise at the nature of things.

In full view, slightly forced joy, swells to a boast, until solemn
words, and thoughts profound again. I meet a friend and glasses are
filled when improvisation on unfamiliar ground shifts to Music
Against Distance, when Michel brings acoustics to the new, which I
again cultivate, this time with freetongues.. The same day, I made a
simple round, needed to float aloft for a time, while the clouds
grew dense, and once again I had to decide.
So now it's good to rest with the final theme.
Home again.
-Lars Hollmer
