Joxfdield Back History - Dark White Morning

 

While waiting for Joxfield's upcoming, new album "Stupet" let's take a stroll down memory lane for a short while. 

After a 30 years break since their last recordings as Anderssson & Ek  in 1975 Janne Yan Andersson and Stefan Oax Ek had decided to find out wether or not they had some creativity within. They went to Bråna cottage in Dalsland, brought some instruments and a computer for the recordings. The one rule was it should be pure new music or nothing at all, no old shit, no nostalgia. The following week was filled with improvisations and instant composing. Sometimes there was an overdub when both guys at the same time added their instruments to the version that's just been recorded. Never more than one overdub. 

The first track was titled "Hurricane" and was completed by it's first and only take. You can hear it here: https://soundcloud.com/oaxjoxfield/joxfield-projex-hurricane

The result of the first Bråna session became "Dark White Morning", the debute album by Joxfield ProjeX. 15 tracks over 95 minutes. The albums was printed as a 2 CDr set in an edition of about 20 copies which were all given away to friends. The label Tin Can Music was established.

Hearing it today you may experience it as a bit raw and unpolished, very amateaurish, which is all true. It was a first attempt to explore something. At the time we were happy with the result and decided to go on with our music. The first step went on to the next. 

Joxfield & Tin Can Music Discography, et al.

 

There is a new Joxfield album in the pipeline which hopefully will be released before the end of the year. Meanwhile you can did deep into what Janne and Stefan have done since their return to music in 2005 and onward.

Some 14½ Years Ago

Some 14½ years ago during the first week of May 2005 Joxfield made their first recordings after 30 years hiatus (the last recording before that was made as Andersson & Ek in spring or summer 1975, a 16 minutes track called Cosmic Bananas).
The music was mainly instant compositions and improvisations and the result became a very raw and rough 2 CDR, "Dark White Morning" (printed in 20 give-away copies, now gone since long). It all was an experiment to find out weather we had any creativity within or not. We were completely exhausted after that week's emptying of creativity, but decided to continue, which we did.
Here's the first ever track we recorded May 2005

https://soundcloud.com/oaxjoxfield/joxfield-projex-hurricane

In early 2020 we will release our 23rd album, "Red White Blacke & Pale", a 55 minutes, four track album of very structured music.

Joxfield's Discography

Joxfield's Discography

Album # 23 (as DJ&M)
Baroque Or Odd (Digital Album + Limited Edition 2xCDR Tin Can Music/Tin Can Music Division of VAHP 2019)

“Baroque or Odd” by DJ&M – A Joxfield ProjeX Associate
In 1968 Janne & Stefan of Joxfield ProjeX had made music together for a couple of years as DJ&M, short for DonnoJanne & Maecs. Simple music just like kids do, but sometimes with an experimental touch. Even though they didn’t have any tape recorders until autumn 1969 they composed and organized albums as if it was for real. Having heard The Beatles’ self-titled “White Album” they were inspired by the concept of doing a double album, which they thus also did. Between December 1968 and February 1969, they wrote the 30 songs that became the DJ&M “virtual” double album “Baroque or Odd”. To override The Beatles DJ&M added a four track EP to the double LP. Cover art and various inserts were made in two copies, one each, as usual, but no recording. As usual. Janne had just turned 15, Stefan had four months left before his 15th birthday. Just kids.
As The Beatles’ “White Album” celebrated it’s 50th anniversary November 22 2018 the idea came up of making a constructive and creative interpretation of the 34 songs of “Baroque or Odd”. The music had been written down in a self-invented note system where you could see which note it was, but not its value. You had to memorize the specific melodies.
Sheets for 32 of the 34 songs were found in a closet. Most of the melodies were forgotten, but by reading and playing the self-invented note system various parts of the songs could be remembered, recovered and become the starting point of the interpretations of the songs. One of the songs, “Jar”, was a description of a cut-up sampled piece and this way of making music became inspiration for the two lost songs on the album ("I Am Embittered" & "With A Blue Balloon").
Between late November 2018 and January 2019 recordings, mixing and masters were done. 41 tunes in 85 minutes (the four track EP became five, the last song of the album is in seven parts, all in all 41 tracks). A double LP with an EP. Some kind of experimental progressive pop.
As Bandcamp have a short stop between tracks the tracks B4 & B5 here presents as one, as well as the BoO EP's five tracks is presented as one, and finally the 7 parts of D4 Guinea Pigs Song suite is presented as one single tune. Future physical releases will split these tracks into individual pieces
Released on February 7 2019 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of its making
Enjoy!

Album # 17 (as Joxfield ProjeX & colonel XS)
What About Me? (CD Santos Productions 2013)

The album features 4 long duration tracks. Both artists are pure sound manipulators creating dark sound platforms. It is as if they are torturing sounds to obtain a very own and unique sound color. They don't hesitate to use guitar sounds as well, but the final sound is more important than really playing an instrument. This way "What About Me?" invites us to join on a mysterious trip, which is hard to grasp.

Album # 16 (as Joxfield ProjeX)
Insult On The Dance Floor (Free download Tin Can Music 2012)

With music still keeping some heavy rough and dark moods the intention of this album is to offer some uplifting lightness and joy to the listeners, bring them loads of swirling sounds that even might bring them up on the dance floor for some horror moves in a futuristic dance exercise. The music is as intense, electric and beautiful as ever.

All music is recorded at Camp Batang, Stockholm and at Camp Anna, Gothenburg 2011-2012.

Album # 15 (as Joxfield ProjeX)
VoxLuxRabax (Free download Tin Can Music 2011)

This is Joxfield ProjeX new release.
It's psychedelic music, it's kraut and space. There are even some brutal ambient.
It's created through free form minds, sometimes within frames of steady beats, sometimes not.
It's very electric.
Joxfield ProjeX is a duo.
Yan plays keyboard, program heavy drums, add some weird sounds here and there.
Oax play guitar, sometimes with ebow, sometimes just punch it and see what happens.
Most of the music is recorded live at Kolpebo, Sweden, with few overdubs and edits.

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."
(Oax)

Written, performed and produced by Oax & Yan of Joxfield ProjeX June-November 2006 at Camp Kolpebo and Camp Batang
