Other sounds

Origin #02 features a collection of musical tracks and ideas that Magnus initially began crafting between 2003 and 2009. It wasn't until 2012-13 that he meticulously curated these tracks and embarked on a creative journey to bring them to completion. This album offering a diverse yet coherent palette of soundscapes and emotions.
Warm groovy rhythms set the pace while we drift through deep electronica washed by waves of ethereal pads and mesmerizing melodies.

The overarching concept of the Origin series is to breathe new life into previously unfinished musical pieces, allowing them to finally emerge into the world, free from obscurity.

Written and produced by Magnus Birgersson in Studio Jupiter, Gothenburg, Sweden and remastered by Robert Elster in 2023. 

This is a preorder: release date is set to June, 9

2012's 'Random Friday' is one of the most popular Solar Fields albums ...and here it comes back to life again, as usual with a state of the Art remastering by Robert Elster @Elster Mastering and revamped in a 6 panels digipak CD in case you missed the original compact disc edition  (as well as treated for the first time for a vinyl release).

The quest for a complete Solar Fields reissue collection continues here at Sidereal, and this time we bring back to light the first installments in Magnus Birgersson’s unfinished tracks archive.

Origin #01, originally released in 2010, was the first compilation of Solar Fields finished unfinished pieces. A series of audio stems born in various periods of time, in this case from 2002 to 2008, then completed and refined.

Such a genesis makes the Origin series something different in the Solar Fields catalog, as the usual consistency and unity of Magnus’s studio albums is nowhere to be found here, in favor of a multi-faceted, various and fragmented approach. Every track is completely different from the other, and you never know what’s lying behind the next corner. Every note sounds 101% Solar Fields, but the spectre covered by Origin #01 was an entirely different width compared to what the Swedish producer released until that moment.

For the first time in any format, Pier Paolo Pasolini’s controversial 1975 adaptation of the Marquis de Sade’s *The 120 Days of Sodom*, characterized by classical compositions of great beauty and dissonance, stands in stark contrast to the shocking and cruel events unfolding on screen. Three weeks before the scandalous release of “Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom,” Pasolini was brutally murdered in Ostia, Italy. In the wake of the tragedy, legendary composer Ennio Morricone wrote “Addio a Pier Paolo Pasolini” for the late director, which was included in the final cut. Following the narrative of one of Pasolini’s most significant cinematic moments, the soundtrack opens with Ennio Morricone’s “Son Tanto Triste,” descends into the melancholic minor chords of Bach, Chopin, Orff, Puccini, and Graziosi, incorporates sinister interpretations by the cast, and includes Morricone’s somber tribute to the director.

Released in 1987 and destined to become one of the most controversial and iconic films in European underground cinema, Jörg Buttgereit's “Nekromantik” is far more than a visual provocation: it is a radical, poetic, and deeply disturbing work in which image and sound merge into a singular emotional experience.

The soundtrack by Daktari Lorenz / Hermann Kopp / John Boy Walton accompanies the film with a minimal and obsessive sonic landscape, suspended between piano melodies, decadent electronic ambient textures, and distorted childlike melodies. A deliberately alienating contrast that amplifies the film's sense of tragedy, loneliness, and morbid romanticism.

This release is not merely a tribute to a cult film, but a celebration of music as a narrative force, capable of transforming horror into melancholy and transgression into a distorted form of romanticism.
