"Tryghed" is the debut album from Franciska, the alias of Copenhagen-based artist Jonas Torstensson. As one of the key figures in the young, vivid DK scene, Jonas has released a good deal of music under different names during the last few years (notably Forankring), often in very limited cassette editions with barely no distribution.

Franciska captures the very essence of the sound world they are now associated with: melancholic and rather loose tape compositions made with a hands-on approach, usually performed on organ, piano, synthesizers and acoustic instruments and often room recorded with environmental sounds leaking in.

Truly DIY ambient music, with crude stop/rec editing, sizzling magnetism and tape scuffs left intact, the A-side consists mainly of piano recordings made while on break from classical music rehearsals in school, while the B-side incorporates more electronics and field recordings though still having the piano as the focal point. Wintry minimalism at its very best.
