This is some fantastic slow building array of art rock, slow wave, and neo- psychedelia by the all female band; Hästköttskandalen, an audiovisual quartet comprised of Swedish and American composers and musicians.
The ensemble utilyzes real-time video feedback and analog film manipulation, just intonation, improvisation, and various synthesis methods. A defining characteristic of Hästköttskandalen’s music is the equal union of sound gleaning from acoustic string instruments, electric guitars, and an 8mm projector. The mix produces a vast sound-mass suspended in timeless stasis. Their long musical process reveals layers of harmonics with rotating rhythmical cogs, its colour and iridescence calmly transforming.
