The composer Tomi Christiansson tells: ”Hundreds of songs later still trying to capture the same king of feeling of a passing impression of surroundings from the outsiders point of view. Just over a month and it will be 40 years from the first song I put on paper. The notation is crude basically chord names over the words. The same method is still very much in use on the account of not being able to read notes.” Those spots and lines just never opened for him and they didn’t even have the hauntingly sweet notes that lay in between: the blue, red, happy, sad, exiting and so on. Most importantly the note that contains them all in this aura of overtones.
In other words Matilda Mother bands music is based special own tuning and flexible rhythms though following exact pulse. Songs Falling Rain, in search of Sonny and Pass it on and Stained Glass Window are acoustic home recordings. The rest for this album is recorded 27.4.2023 at Maunula -talo. The guitar was broken and so the sound is rough in some parts.
