Structures Sonores #1, Statement of purpose.
”THIS IS STRUCTURES SONORES #1.”
I initially founded Structures Sonores in 2002 as a way for me, Viktor Sjöberg, to release my own music. Several exclusively handcrafted and severely limited editions later, it is 2006 and it is time to take Structures Sonores into new territory. As the words found above this paragraph might indicate, this release – the Sonores album “Elefanten” – marks a new beginning.
“Elefanten” is the Sonores debut album following two EP releases. It is a meticulously detailed and at times epic display of slow pop music.
The main visionary behind Sonores is Jonas Odhner, a young man hailing from the Swedish town of Åmål. With his musical background originating in hip hop music, Jonas first made his mark on the Swedish music scene as an inventive scratch deejay years before picking up and mastering the guitar. Joined by Elisabet Sjökvist and myself, Jonas has been developing the music that makes up “Elefanten” for quite some time, a fact that should be evident when listening to the album.
Traces of classic progressive rock are blended with a jazzy feel for pop sensibilities; “Elefanten” is the work of someone determined to find the exact aesthetic, one which is strong enough to carry the emotions that are being conveyed. Even though the music is rich in detail it manages to stay subtle, largely due to the delicate vocal style of singer Elisabet Sjökvist.
I take great pride in having played some part in the process of recording “Elefanten” and I am very happy to have it be the first CD release on Structures Sonores.
Yours sincerely,
Viktor Sjöberg
