About Johan Tronestam …
As always at CDS Towers, we are constantly on the lookout for music – in several genres - that we consider being a bit special. That includes listening for new talent in the flooded “Electronic Music” world, where those with the ability to take the listener of an exciting journey that never becomes dull or boring, and offers thrilling new experiences round every corner are the true winners – Johan Tronestam is one such artist!
Not too many EM albums can keep me focused from start to finish, but Johan Tronestam’s releases certainly do!
The first one I heard was 2016’s: ‘Arthur West Above The Clouds’, and after that I couldn’t wait to trace and investigate all of his other previous releases, and none of these has disappointed either!
With Johan Tronestam’s entire catalogue now available from CDS Towers, this is the kind of instrumental EM that has the effect of constantly tempting the listener towards your amplifier’s volume control … to turn it UP and allow you to get deeper into and more involved in the entire listening experience!
Just like the greats of the more melodic side of the EM world – Dyson, Jarre, Schroeder, Schmoelling, Pickford, Shreeve, TD and Vangelis to name just a few, Tronestam’s real secret is this … He keeps it pure and simple and musical …ALL the time! Each and very track is a total joy - the kind of stuff you can listen to for hours on end and never tire of!
About the term “Compunctio”…
Gregory the Great (ca 540–604) spoke about compunctio, the holy pain. The grief somebody feels when faced with that which is most beautiful is both reminiscence and a foretaste of the divine world. Originally "Compunctio" was a medical term that described intense physical pain, but when Gregorius used the word he spoke about a spiritual pain.
The bittersweet experience stems from human homelessness in an imperfect world, human consciousness of, and, at the same time, a desire for perfection. This inner spiritual void becomes painfully real when faced with beauty. There, between the lost and the desired, the holy tears are formed.
– Owe Wikström - professor in Psychology of Religion at the University of Uppsala.
‘Compunctio’ was created in Lemland / 2013-2014.
Composed, performed, produced and mastered by Johan Tronestam in the Team Quasar studio.
