Music, like most things, is not a question of style but of  individuality and personal connection. I don’t want to listen to "jazz”, I want to hear John Coltrane. I don’t want to listen to ”classical music”, I want to hear Stravinsky. Not ”indian” but T.R. Mahalingam; Not ”operetta” but Offenbach. Not ”musical”....

When I listen to the music on this album it’s very clear that it is ”self sufficient”, that I’ve done it completely without thinking at all about expectations, my own or anyone else’s. So here I am with an album that  only can be labeled as ”Bengt Berger” or ”Other Music”. It’s my music, but it is not MY music. The music itself has decided what I want it to be. Ten minute pieces are followed by themes of less than a minute, a lullabye by free form, afro by slapstick, long modal hypnotics by narrative or poetic texts by Niklas Rådström or Torkel Rasmusson; and by the way, I didn’t intend anything in particular with it, it just turned out out that way.

For many years I’ve had the great privilege of having my music interpreted and evolved in the company of Thomas Gustafsson, Jonas Knutsson and Mats Öberg, who countinue to surprise me by still wanting to play with me. Great friends, brilliant musicians and wonderful human beings. Max Schultz, new to my music, just slides in and lifts it all on his shoulders, accepting my whims by playing banjo, bass or sing, apart from his wonderful guitar playing; and Lindha Kallerdahl treats melody and lyrics with utmost care one moment only to spoil all plans and preconcieved notions about how the music should evolve in the next. Add to that the wonderful cooperation and the meticulous care and imagination of  the musical, sensitive Sigge Krantz, the ideal producer/sound engineer/friend who suddenly has enriched a piece by remixing it or adding some bass or vocal.

So, I’m eagerly awaiting more music making with them all, and boy, am I happy!                          - bengt berger, ”beche”
