<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\nMARCUS FJELLSTR\u00d6M \u2013 THE LAST SUNSET OF THE YEAR<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\nMarcus Fjellstr\u00f6m<\/em><\/strong> is a Swedish composer and multimedia artist whose work ranged from purely orchestral to electronic music. After graduating from his composition and orchestration study in Sweden, he released his debut album Excercises in Estrangement<\/em> in 2005. Three other solo albums would follow: Gebrauchsmusik, Schattenspieler<\/em>, and Skelektikon.<\/em> Apart from that, some of his audiovisual work can be seen on his youTube channel Kafkagarden<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\nFjellstr\u00f6m<\/em><\/strong> passed away in 2017 in Berlin, at the very young age of 37. The year before his death he had been working on the soundtrack for the first series of the AMC TV series The Terror<\/a><\/em>, which told the story of the doomed 1845 Franklin Expedition to find the Northwest Passage. He wrote no less than 75 pieces for this show, sometimes as many as six or seven versions of one piece. Erik K. Skodvin<\/em><\/strong> and Dave Kajganich<\/em><\/strong>, both close friends and colleagues, made a selection from these tracks and combined them into Fjellstr\u00f6ms<\/em><\/strong> posthumous album called The Last Sunset Of The Year.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nThis posthumous album is not intended as a soundtrack album: some of the pieces have appeared in the series in a different form, and others are available here for the first time. This album is a showcase of Fjellstr\u00f6m\u2019s capabilities as a composer and musician and should be seen as his last and final album. <\/p>\n
The 26 tracks (87 minutes) have no titles of their own, but the album is divided in four sections which inevitably link the music to the series theme: Last Morning Watch, Last Draughts \u2013 Best Efforts, Last Fixed Position<\/em>, and Last Heat, Last Exertions.<\/em> \u201cIt is a journey that evokes the mystery, grandeur, and desolation of the Arctic, and articulates the spiritual and existential implications of traveling there.\u201d<\/em>
But with this dark and brooding music, it\u2019s impossible not to relate is to Fjellstr\u00f6m<\/em><\/strong>\u2018s <\/em>untimely death, too.
\u201cNone of those men could know, nor can we, what waits for us across the line of death, but in The Last Sunset of the Year, Marcus seems to have had a notion.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\nThe Last Sunset Of The Year<\/em><\/strong> is released as a 2CD or 2LP release on Miasmah Recordings<\/em><\/a>; also available as a digital download. <\/p>\n
