Band Of Weeds:
The Greenhouse Phenomenon (Live at Stavanger)
Sudenmarja 005
Released August 7, 2020
The music of plants, transmitted by Band of Weeds (Kalle Hamm, Lauri Ainala, Hermanni Keko, Olli Aarni) in a plant based live concert at the Stavanger Art Museum, 2019. The Greenhouse Phenomenon is a sound inquiry into the pulses and life signals of recent introductions growing around the Lake Mosvatnet, Stavanger, Norway. Several species have been introduced and are growing in Stavanger, for example the giant knotweed (Fallopia sachalinensis), the giant meadowsweet (Filipendula kamtschatica) and the salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis). All the sound material is recorded from the plants using the method developed by the Soviet botanist Ivan Gunar. Ionised liquid is run through the plant tissues and the changes in their electro-magnetic field can then be converted to the sound range audible to the human ear.

Circle Of Shit:
Worship The Ditch/Sink Into The Glitch
Sudenmarja 004
Released August 7, 2020
Finnish noise artist Circle Of Shit plunges into more abstract and experimental territory on “Worship The Ditch/Sink Into The Glitch”. As the name might imply, these disassociative post-industrial landscapes are reminiscent of Coil’s more abstract works or Nurse With Wound’s “Spiral Insana”, after being drenched in rotting sewers of noise. Filled with obscure industrial field recordings, animalistic growls and fragments of distant and distorted radio transmissions that eventually disintegrate into a flood of noise, “Worship The Ditch/Sink Into The Glitch” drags the listener down into a dislocated reality, a decaying swamp of glitch.

Metsänpeitto: Metsänpeitto
Sudenmarja 002
Released November 18, 2017
Metsänpeitto is music from another world. Musically the eponymous debut album by Finland’s Metsänpeitto stretches from psych folk towards 1990’s alternative rock. It grows from fragile flowers amidst the forest undergrowth to the arched vaults of ancient pine trees. In Finnish folklore “metsänpeitto” describes the state of being “covered in forest”, where men are lured by spirits of the forest to be lost in the woods, never to find their way out. Metsänpeitto is not only losing your sense of direction, it is being transported into a different reality.

”Jos emme tule luonnonlapsiksi,
emme pääse taivasten valtakuntaan,
sillä uskon salaisuudet ovat luonnon salaisuuksia.
Ne eivät viihtyneet juutalaisten temppeleissä,
mutta sen sijaan vähätaitoisten luonnonlasten parissa,
jotka elivät kuin Saaronin liljat.”
–Edith Södergran, 1922
