"Marianergraven" is sinking, ocean-inspired ambient, with melodies moving slowly, forming a menacingly areal atmosphere, where the soaring laments are able to float freely across the sonic panorama. AKB utilises the electronic tonalities from syntheses, loops and effects to create a slowly growing and floating ambient structure, which is both melodic and dissonant combined. The musical origin of this album comes from an avid fascination with the ocean and its secrets. The idea of how the pressure and darkness of the depths may sound and the unknown mystery attached to the Pacific abyss of the Mariana trench evokes both a calmness and a breathtaking feeling of bottomlessly sinking into the darkness way down deep. Behind the name AKB resides instrumentalist Anna-Karin Berglund from Gävle, Sweden. Ltd x 100 copies in a digipak.
