credits
Recorded during Svensk Musikvår at Aliasteatern, Stockholm, Friday March 19th 2021 by Mats Erlandsson, who also mixed and mastered the recording. Festival curation and production by Jörgen Pettersson. The concert was streamed live with no present live audience. Track 2 & 3 were preparations for the concert.
Cover design by Matt Brandi
Produced by Mark Wastell
"Sweden’s leading avant gardists, Mats Gustafsson, Anna Lindal, Mats Lindström and Joachim Nordwall are captured live in quiet concentration during an online concert from ’21. ‘Vår’ renders the quartet in one intensely longform work beside a pair of odder preparations for the concert that venture into regression session primitivism and spectral electro jazz. Playing to no present audience, but heard remotely at the time, Ensemble Vår get right under the skin of their thing on the main piece, ‘Consort’, evolving from scribbly lower case plucks and scrapes into a restrained, primitivist language of animalistic purrs and breaths extracted from saxophone, flute, violin, electronics, sampler, analog synths, effects and tape. Nobody attempts to outdo anyone else, holding to a democratic division of frequencies that stalk each other and congeal into a sort of synaesthetically stimulating sound that feels like it grows hair, scales and baby teeth as their improvisation proceeds."

Duo in Concert
by Derek Bailey & Paul Motiansupported by 25 fans who also own “VÅR”
The uncertainty of the next moment and the perfect choice of expression, intensity and tension. This record is not only of historical value, it is the equivalent of seeing a phenomenon that has never been seen before. A fundamental thing.

Birdland, Neuburg 2011
by Cecil Taylor & Tony Oxleysupported by 23 fans who also own “VÅR”
There is a classical grandeur to Taylor’s playing here, spinning gothic arches of sound that never stop rising to the heavens even as they push up undaunted through Oxley’s richly textured hailstorms of percussion. Many delicate moments which Oxley lets breath, bracketing them elegantly. Some of Cecil’s most accessible moments of glittering beauty. A Beethoven’s power, a Scriabin’s poetry, a Messiaen’s colour, a Prokofiev’s playfulness, but all Cecil Taylor. Very good recording quality.
