Karlstad from THREE SIXTEENS by Arturas Bumšteinas

“Karlstad” was commissioned by Dutch new music ensemble DASH! as a remix track for their CD release „Bangalore“ in 2008. Bumšteinas took very short snippets (no longer than 1 second) of breathing noises of the ensemble's vocalists and used it as loops to build the instrumental harmonies upon them. Short remix version of this “remix” with guest violinist Lina Lapelytė was featured in Wire Tapper 22 compilation. The title of this piece is derived from the sofa brand of the Swedish IKEA shop. The part of commission fee which Bumšteinas got for the creation of this piece was spent to purchase the abovementioned sofa.
