LP – 180g Black Vinyl housed in an Invercote sleeve. Only 200 copies pressed in this edition. The Swedish electroacoustic composer Erik Klinga presents Hundred Tongues, the second installmentfollowing Elusive Shimmer (2025)in a trilogy of albums released by the Thanatosis label. Issued digitally and as a limited edition of 200 copies on 180-gram vinyl housed in an Invercote sleeve, it continues Klingas intricate exploration of sound and space. Darker and more dystopian in its bloom, Hundred Tongues absorbs the unease of the present and yet throws a flash of light, albeit blinding. Composed at Malm Art Museum on the 16th-century Genarpsorgan, and threaded with Buchla synthesiser, field recordings from Skne and land, and a deliberate, focused touch, it unfolds as one long form: episodes that coil, return, and reconfigure rather than resolve. Spring to Mind begins with static and the pressure of thin air, as though drawn from the negative space between signals. Noise condenses into a hum, clarifies into tone, and organ chords hover between physical and imagined terrain. Opaque Stars blurs the seam between pipes and circuits, its crystalline timbre evoking avian song. Conspiracy of Silence brings the birds into focusthe collared flycatchers cascade of notes intertwines with trembling pipes, suggesting communion through attentive listening.The eighteen-minute title piece sits at the works centre, opening in ambiguitycrackles, murmurs, and clicks that dissolve into organ and Buchla tones hovering between noise and tone. In Swedish lore, songbirds were said to have a hundred tongues; here, organ and synthesiser breathe as one. Stitched from live recordings in Skovgaardsalen, Norberg kyrka, and Koncertkirken, the suite ends with the return of the everyday world. Klingas music slows perception and bridges centuries. Pairing one of Swedens oldest organs with modular electronics, he reveals the kinship of pipe, circuit, and birdsongreminding us that listening itself may be the origin of music.
