Watch out for fake Between Interval albums

Fri, 12 Jul 2024 10:51:51 +0200

I was recently victim of an elaborate scam where someone started releasing crappy AI-generated albums using my artist name "Between Interval". New albums would appear on all major streaming services every few weeks, all in all at least 18 appeared before I was finally able to make it stop. The intention was likely to piggyback on my artist name to generate streams from my followers. The phony albums were all distributed through Symphonic Distribution. I wrote a long Facebook post about it all, please read it if you have time: https://www.facebook.com/betweeninterval/posts/1258006958939224

I'm happy to share that Artefact, the new album by Johan Agebjörn and Mikael Ögren, was just released. I collaborated on the first two tracks of the album, Extravehicular Activity and Passing the Gates. Artefact is available on CD and the usual streaming/download services. Choose your favorite here. Also check out this nice article on ello about the project itself.

More LEGACY reviews

Sat, 23 Sep 2017 12:38:24 +0200

I was always considering Stefan Strand as a Swedish wunderkind. [...] "Legacy" is another milestone by Between Interval and one of the undeniable aural vertexes of 2017! - Richard Gürtler, Ambient Visions. Read the full review here. Strand has wisely left the listener with the deep seeds of imagination, a blank page to build their own storyboard from. All taken, a very satisfying and organic experience. - Peter Thelen, Exposé. Read the full review here. Music from LEGACY has also been featured in a number of podcasts and radio shows. Feel free to check out some of them: Ambient.zone - 2nd Life X3, Radio Mystic Network Borderlands #37, One World Music Radio Borderlands #35, One World Music Radio Borderlands #34, One World Music Radio Biotic Worlds #145, Journeyscapes Land's End #132, Journeyscapes ...and more. Thank you everyone for the amazing support!

LEGACY reviews

Fri, 28 Jul 2017 14:35:38 +0200

This is space music, pure and simple. Damn fine space music too. Between Interval never gets too specific with melody, and lets the sublimity of the atmosphere carry you away. - Steve Mecca, Chain D.L.K. Read the full review here. Legacy comes after eight years of silence and marks a highlight point in Between Interval’s career. Years of experience and a lot of hard work have culminated with what feels like his best work to date. He is known for his spacey sound but Legacy takes things to a deeper level in terms of musicality and sound design. - Nocturnal Ghost, Igloo Magazine. Read the full review here. Stefan Strand returns in a very great shape after a silence of very close to 8 years - Sylvain Lupari, Synth&Sequences. Read the full review here Impeccably crafted, Legacy deftly segues between related ambient sub-genres, among them electronica, spacemusic, soundscaping, and even dub-techno. [...] Strand always exercises tasteful restraint in his refined productions, and as the fifty-one-minute Legacy progresses, the Swedish composer's kinship with tastemakers such as Loscil, Biosphere, and Arovane becomes apparent; as with their recordings, every element in Between Interval's music has purpose. - Textura. Read the full review here ...the very well-produced and mastered "Legacy" feels like a lush journey airing various levels of energy as it paints a new set of cinematic-angled sketches. - Bert Strolenberg, Sonic Immersion. Read the full review here. I feel truly blessed, honored and proud for the beautiful reviews above! THANKS!

LEGACY vinyl/LP now shipping

Sat, 06 May 2017 17:38:43 +0200

The limited edition colored vinyl is now shipping! It exists only in 500 copies, make sure you get one before they're gone. Each LP includes a download code for the extended version. The no. 1 place to get it is from the Spotted Peccary webshop, but if you're located on another continent and the international shipping fee seems a bit pricey, it's also available from several other resellers around the world, for example Amazon (UK), Amazon (India), Amazon (Japan), Ginza (Sweden) and many more - maybe you can find one in your country if you Google it. I might have a few copies up for sale through betweeninterval.com within a couple of weeks as well.

New album LEGACY out now!

Sun, 09 Apr 2017 10:17:33 +0200

My new ambient sci fi journey is here. Between Interval - LEGACY is an electronic excursion into distant sound worlds. Released eight years after my previous album, it is unhesitantingly the result of a lot of accumulated inspiration. LEGACY dives into genres like ambient, space music, electronica, dub techno, Berlin school and more, somewhat influenced by all my 20 years as a composer. In fact, this album serves as a milestone as it is almost exaclty 20 years since I took my first stumbling steps within music production and composition. LEGACY is released on Spotted Peccary Music and is out now on CD and as digital downloads/streaming in an extended version. It will shortly be followed by a slightly shorter limited edition colored vinyl! More about this shortly... For now, I hope you'll enjoy LEGACY as much as I do! Get it here!

Between Interval - LEGACY, out on April 7, 2017

Thu, 09 Mar 2017 14:04:31 +0100

LEGACY will be out on CD/digital/streaming on April 7, 2017. But I'm also stoked about the fact that this will be my first album release on 12” vinyl! There's just something special about getting your music out on vinyl, this old time format that more or less survived the CD era. There's a level of handcraft involved that in many ways enhances and amplifies the love and effort that's put into the music. The vinyl edition will initially be limited to 500 copies, so make sure you get one fast – when they're gone they might be gone forever! It's a single record (44 minutes) in a single sleeve (with stunning artwork by Michal Karcz, as mentioned earlier) and the record itself will be a colored vinyl, ”root beer-ish”/sepia tone that will match the bottom right corner of the artwork. I just can't wait to get it out there, luckily the wait will be over in just a few weeks! :) LEGACY will be released on Spotted Peccary Music.
