Abul Mogard

At Norbergfestival Abul Mogard will present sounds from his album, Quiet Pieces, released on his imprint Soft Echoes. While sifting through archived material left idle from earlier projects, a chance encounter with a late uncle’s trove of beloved 78rpm classical and opera records prompted the reworking and completion of what would eventually become the album. Spinning dusty records at 33 and 45rpm, Abul Mogard recombined their enduring spectres with unfinished sketches from his archive. The resulting soundscape blurs distinctions between his memories and those of another, exquisitely short-circuiting the senses with its waking, dream-like lucidity.

Abul Mogard’s sounds in Mimerlaven promise to shake the foundations of the abandoned mine and of all of us inside it and to toy with our collective sense of reality.
