about

ART POP ECLECTICISM? Various artists compilations can sometimes feel scattered and uneven. For natural reasons. But surely a certain magic may occur when you place disparate songs one after another in an optimal order. Recently I created a playlist called Art Pop Eclecticism. It contained ”old” and ”new” music, in different genres, that worked incredibly (and unexpectedly) well together. It was inspiring and gave me a very special listening experience that I would like to bring with me to this project.

The setting and the framework can be ”artistic” and/or experimental (ART) on one hand. But on the other hand it can of course also be accessible in any kind of popular format (POP). And maybe it can also contain both sides of the coin, at the same time (ART POP). Several of the acts I asked for musical contributions to this compilation usually use a more or less electronic palette. But not all of them. So when these songs are put together, into a context, it will hopefully become an interesting and exciting whole (ECLECTICISM).

My initial idea was to put together four compilations that each have the four elements as their respective theme: Air, Water, Earth and Fire. Not thee most original concept in history, I know, but not a totally bad one either. This first round the theme is Air. This theme can be expressed in several different ways and most of all in a associative manner. Air, wind, breathing, sky, clouds, vacuum, oxygen, atmosphere (but maybe not space). I asked everyone not to overdo or overthink it. If it feels difficult, almost impossible to link your contributions to the theme, then it is okay to solve it using the song title.

Concept and coordination by Mattias Jonsson

Mastered by Tomas Bodén

about

Meschplan Uppsala, Sweden

Meschplan, a mostly electronic solo project, took form early 2013. From the beginning the concept of cheap, simple, DIY- style home recordings was the main thing. Musical inspiration came from the electronic/cosmic side of krautrock, 80's synth pop, Eno-esque ambient and the more experimental side of post-punk. From 2021 Meschplan is also a label, focusing on cd and digital releases. ... more
