When I heard at the beginning of the year the ep Attended only by birds that BGUDNA released I knew I had to invite him to release at FeedbackLoop Label, and so I did. Thankfully Björgvin accepted my invitation and created this kind of sequel to Attended Only By Birds. This Last Act is therefore a prolonging of the filigree piano tunes but with added sounds that take us to an imagery of desolated land, cold but strangely warm inside.

I am very happy to present you This Last Act by BGUDNA, because it thrives in a minimalistic approach, a magnificent use of silence and an understated mood that sound astonishingly simple and yet beautiful.

manifesto

Available music in the web is a marvelous world to uncover, and ever since I came across the concept of Netlabels I was immediately stunned by the amount of music to discover. But shortly after I was overwhelmed by the fast paced releases and hard to find pearls (at least the ones that lasted more than 2 or 3 careful auditions). There are netlabels and record labels for all genres and you can find out there everything, but my intentions regarding the foundation of a label are based on two critical issues: listeners pleasure and tribute to the artist.

I want to release music that lasts one year, ten years, a lifetime, and that gives its listeners always a good reason to get back to it and also to promote as much as possible the artists that produce that music. I’m interested in the sensations that music transmits, its richness and its versatility.
