SELECTED WORKS
Collected Projects & Recordings
WONDERLAND (with Dag Rosenqvist)
The 3rd release of the Hibernate Recordings Collaboration series features 5 tracks of guitar soundscapes from the legendary Dag Rosenqvist aka Jasper TX and Matthew Collings.
The record was inspired by a series of photographs in Reuters documenting an abandoned Amusement Park in China.
Dag Rosenqvist started studying double bass and participated in bands from an early age. When he discovered recording through a borrowed 4-track cassette recorder Jasper TX was born. Dag’s music is mainly guitar driven but when a layer of drums, voices, organs, toy pianos, field recordings and effects are added it becomes something quite special and unique.
Released August 31, 2012
A THOUSAND PLATEUS (with Talvihorros)
A collaboration between Talvihorros and Matthew Collings for their co-headline tour of September 2011.
The ep combines both artist's fascination with creating contrasting textures and moods, from wild crushing distortion and heavy sub-bass to the delicate, naturalistic use of live instruments, from the acoustic guitar to bass clarinet.
Ideas and sounds flew back and forth over the interweb creating a seamless and rich blend of both artist's individual styles.
Released as part of Hibernate Recordings postcard series, with a 3" cd, it has since sold out and is now available only as a download.
