Album # 14 (as Joxfield ProjeX)
Hypnotic Wash Up (Free download Clinical Archives 2011)

"While standing in my kitchen doing the wash up and listening in my ghetto-blaster to the Majestic Pattern City Revisited Evolution suite from the Joxfield ProjeX very strict limited self-release album 'The Pond Intermezzo' (2006) I realized how goddamn good it was and that these tracks deserved being properly released. The album was originally printed in about 20 copies which mostly were given away to some of our friends. Very few copies were sold for almost nothing. The story of the suite: For the TPI sessions Yan had made a hypnotic, long pattern to which I made a 20 minutes long guitar improvisation. Due to too many wrong notes it was re-recorded once. There was more guitar terror and even more wrong notes. There was also a short, recorded sung melody. Then Yan locked himself into his room for a couple of months, re-worked the recorded music, picked up some themes from the solos, developed it, mixed it, split it, added the treated vocal parts, added some other freaky vocal parts and finally presented what's heard here. Maybe it's a bit accessible to have the suite split into eight parts, but the true reason was Yan's then car stereo which refused to play too long songs, it had to be split into parts."

Album # 13 (as Joxfield ProjeX & Guests)
Numbers And Letters (3 Disc Set Free download Clinical Archives 2010)

Have Joxfield ProjeX become a Big Band with all these guests? And is this The White Album of Joxfield ProjeX? The answer is No on both questions. When we were about to start our new recording sessions in 2007 we had decided we wanted to bring our music into territories where we had never been before. To do so we wanted to involve other people and asked around amongst artists we liked and respected and to whom we could direct a mission - contribute to our music in an open-minded and creative way. Most of those we asked generously brought their inspiration to us and went into the project, sometimes for a specific track, sometimes for many of them.

Very quick we realised it was a huge project and when it all was finished we had about 2,5 hours of music we didn't want to split up. That's why it's a 3 disc set. The variation of the music is the variation of our minds, that's how we are. For those who care Disc A - Abstract Numbers is maybe a bit introvert, reflective and the Discs B & C - Concrete Letters A-Z might seem extrovert, a little bit more easy-going. Most of the music is recorded in 2007 with lots of additional recordings, editing and treatments in 2007 - 2010.

Joxfield ProjeX is still the duo Oax and Yan playing their instruments, programming stuff, adding whatever they find reasonable to add, edit and treat. What about the guests? Most of them do have a long and deep history of success with various bands etc, but instead of fooling both you and them and pretend this music here sounds like anything what they've done with those constellations we suggest you check them up by your own.

Album # 12 (as Joxfield ProjeX)
Smorgasbord - Oddities and Rarities 2005-2010 (Free download Clinical Archives 2010)

Joxfield ProjeX for dinner! Why not? "Smorgasbord" is a collection of oddities and rarities from the five years of Joxfield ProjeX existence 2005 until now. These are tunes recorded mostly between album sessions, out of context, standing on their own feet. Some of them are radical remixes/re-makes of something released/not released during this period. And believe it or not, you'll find Kenji Siratori as a spoken word crooner... Enjoy the meal!

Yan: Keyboard, bass, percussion programmer, vocals, samples, treatments, a gentle and serious mind
Oax: Guitar, glissando, vocals, samples, treatments, additional bass and percussion, innocence and naivity.
Guests: Kenji Siratori: Spoken words on 02 and 04
Sussi Johansson: Additional vocal on 04

All words and music by Yan and Oax. Kenji's words written by himself.
Recorded at Camps Kolpebo, Batang & Anna 2005 - 2010

Album # 11 (as Joxfield ProjeX)
Phantastique (Free download Clinical Archives 2009)

"Phantastique" is a virtual LP. The intension was to make a straight, plain and simple jam record based on some repetitive patterns, at least in Joxfield ProjeX' terms of what is straight, plain and simple. Not to get too much stuck into the spacey jams the tunes are separated by some short experimental pieces. Look at these moments as opportunities to get some good, fresh air.
Even though it's maybe not heard in the music, the main inspirational sources for these recordings are some albums by Acid Mothers Temple, especially Kawabata Makoto's mixing style, but also some funky grooves from Miles Davis' 'On The Corner' period.
This album should be played LOUD, in excitement and full awareness.
Recorded at C Anna & C Batang 2007 - 2009

Album # 8 (as Joxfield ProjeX)
Picnic (Free download Clinical Archives 2009)

Sounds, visions & constructions by Oax and Yan of Joxfield ProjeX 2007-2009 at C Anna.

The basic recordings for Picnic was an unfinished hour-long pure ambient/drone-piece recorded in 2007 which during autumn and winter 2008-2009 turned into what it is today with loads of rhythmic constructions, samples and additional playing. Picnic is not meant for you to be in a hurry when listening. It is this kind of music that slowly comes to you and takes over more and more of your mind and attention. A lot of things happens.
