notes

Recorded in different homes in Stockholm.

Played by Shida Shahabi.

" Intentionally limiting the tools and recording possibilities, each of the album's eight pieces were played on her J.G. Malmsjö piano - "a very heavy and good quality Swedish upright from the turn of the 1900s, that had spent the majority of its life stationed in a church in central Stockholm, and was in fantastic shape for its age." This piano features throughout the album as almost the sole instrument, with just one or two other elements added very sparingly . A Roland RE-501 Chorus Echo added a layer of tape delay, whilst synth lines from a Juno 60 appear briefly on 'Absime' and 'Pretty In Plums'. Elsewhere, double bass was played by Joe Williamson on 'Petula' and by Joel Danell on 'Pretty In Plums'. Shida experimented with the piano sound, preparing it with different types of fabric tape as well as a thicker felt to achieve a soft percussive sound.
