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.
