I can’t think of what to say about us; I’m a medical doctor myself, and the rest are: a graphic designer, a ‘retired’ student, and a very old tape op who now works in TV editing. We love music… specifically, we all have great record collections (strictly vinyl), and have been involved with bands in Edinburgh for the past two decades collectively.

…there is a theory that some people are able to slow time down or, as drummers say: divide the time and hear more & more deeply into the space than us mere mortals.
Muhammad Ali was the example used when this idea was first presented to me how he’d let himself be rope-a-doped for ten rounds and then out of the blue he’d stop time and dot some poor unfortunate’s lights out.
I also posit that Charlie Parker had these sort of powers and then there’s this drummer in Santa Fe name of Cal Haines who also, obviously hears between the cracks in Time..Mark Weber | 30may07
All about Norbert Stein is pata: music, scores, label, formations.
All things have to flow, says Norbert Stein. This is his motto for life as well as for the music he writes, that is more a commonplace than a pearl of wisdom. Relating to music the flow-metaphor means: it should be in motion without being frantic but be steady even with changing tempos; it doesn’t have to linger in idyllic landscapes, but rather should make the listener ready to be taken away in it; it should communicate tranquillity rather than allay you, and it should be far from suspending the listener´s self-perception. Also it should have stylistic limits that are not valuable until the end of time but be open and vague enough for changes and new influences.
Firework Edition Records was started in 1995 by Kent Tankred and Leif Elggren. A company that was emanated through the project and performance group The Sons of God which have been doing extrovert work since spring 1985. Firework Edition Records is also related to the publishing company Firework Edition that was started by Thomas Liljenberg and Leif Elggren in 1982 and was a sort of consequence of the ongoing project Firework started in Stockholm 1978.
Firework Edition Records moves freely between performance, music and the visual arts, and whose productions often reach a point where traditional aesthetic boundaries, limitations and concepts are eliminated. Firework Edition Records observe and document, experiment and ask questions, build up and tear down. They leave it to the listener/the viewer to take what he/she wants or simply leave. Firework Edition Records is a platform for contemporary sound art.
