Lisa Ullén, Elsa Bergman, Anna Lund - Space

So this is what you get:
8 distinct imprositions; comprovisations; made up,
spur of the moment, as the 3 musicians get into it.
And how
They get
Into
There
How they get
There
I don’t know, but it’s all
There and nowhere
Else
There’s music you listen to, and there’s music that makes life worth living. Music that opens
Like
When they stop playing
Makes listening worth
While
Music
Just goes its way
Knowing exactly where to go
Always stopping
Exactly
The moment
You want to hear
More
The music halts, opens
Space
– improvisations with the clarity of compositions –
Coming to a standstill
Look. builds intensity; never. lets up on the underlying drive
The Immeasurable; longer. starts slowly
All At Once. Yeah, at once, all
Cyclops
Bleach
Rage
Composure
Blood & Money. Yeah, Blood, honey, Blood
