about

"It is all about the sounds in between. The small snippets of vibrating air that follow one's every step. Sound that go by almost unheard. Rabbit Hole give those fragments a new meaning. Moving from observations of one ordinary man's life to buzzing hallucinations of a burnt out summer day. One can hear a squeaking door, the static of a cell phone or the mumbling moan of an animal. Sounds to which we can all relate. It's all so clear. But digging deeper between and beyond these tracks one finds that these sounds might have other sources. The compositions of Mattias Gustafsson and his Altar of Flies makes way for that eerie thought. Maybe these sound are something completely else. A rocking boat in the middle of nowhere, waiting to be flooded with water. It might be the sound of a charged defibrillator, with a final hope to give power back to a broken heart. Or that moaning animal might just be the sound of a human in a drastic and extreme situation. It leaves one with a feeling of loneliness and awe. And it leaves one with the notion that sound isn't always what you hear."
– Daniel Fagerström, January 2013
