Peder Mannerfelt – “EP02” – Peder Mannerfelt Produktion – PM002

Great music reaches further than your ears can register. Listening to a recent recording from Peder Mannerfelt is like listening to a complete work flow. The superb music created inside of Peder Mannerfelts Villa Nellcôte.
The opening track of EP2 “Rhythm Inflection” is similar to a heartbeat, rebuilt using a parade of machines, ice­ cold biting sounds that implies a climax that never materialize.
Repetitive thuds are the wrecking ball of “Technology As Apathy” while saw waves continuously crunch until your ear are obliterated on “Failed Grammar”. “Titled” is the centerpiece, however. Its sonic gears grind into hollowed­ out spheres. A voice from the heavens echoes “Reset, reduce, turn up, repeat” until the words lose all meaning and are battered into the metal walls by distilled rhythms. Closing track ”Worlds Falling Out the Bottom” brings with it a sense of calm and a respite for the next chapter.
EP2 is the last ashes of a manuscript that’s been waiting for ages to be turned into dust. It is the final nail in the coffin of his past that began with EP1 and Lines Describing Circles.
Peder Mannerfelts music is gradual and always on the move, the process spans over the whole production.
