Johansson Got His Start Musically By Making His Own Remixes Of Tracks By Skinny Puppy And Posting Them Online Under The Name Triptamine In 1998. In 2001 Johansson Finished Recording An Album Called Ileus That He Self-Released As A CDR Under The Name Tarmvred With Remixing By Hedberg Credited As Digidroid. Around The Same Time Johansson Came Into Contact With Nicolas Chevreux Who Invited Him To Sign With A New Label Chevreux Was Starting Called Ad Noiseam. Hedberg Continued Working With Johansson Until Hedberg Was Listed As A Member Of Tarmvred In 2003 On Viva 6581. Tarmvred Has Recorded Primarily On The German Ad Noiseam Label Although Its Latest Release The Vinyl-Only E.P. Tintorama Is On Low Res Records Based In Detroit Michigan. A New Full-Length Album Is Expected Soon Ad Noiseam Said In January 2006 That "the Waiting For A Second Full Length Album From Tarmvred Is Slowly Coming To An End..." Style Of Music Tarmvred's Music Has An Experimental Electronic Style With Heavy Beats A Barrage Of Irregular Percussion Distortion And Sparse Use Of Melody. Only One Brief Stanza Of Clearly Sung Lyrics Appear In All Of Their Work By Guest Vocalist Gertrud Polonyi It Appears On Track 5 Of Subfusc As Well As On The Track "Mourning" On Onomatopoeic Apparently The Same Recording Of The Lyrics . Heavily Distorted Lyrics Appear On A Few Other Tracks Never More Than Briefly. Their Tracks Sometimes Wander Between Rhythmic And Chaotic And Have A Wide Variety Of Motivs That Continue Falling Away Or Appearing Throughout The Track. Tarmvred Recorded Much Of Viva 6581 Using A MOS 6581 Sound Chip Featured In Early-80's Computers Such As The Commodore 64. read less
