RjVj - Causaulity / Unless 7" single
RjVj - Causality / Unless
This is our first single, released in 2019. We made a limited edition of 25 7” records. The records were made on a 30’s era lathe. Each ”lathe cut” is made one at a time by hand. It is also available digitally.

In RjVj, the guitar is not necessary the primary instrument. I play less notes and very few full chords. During the writing process, just as much time is spent on the other elements, which are programmed by myself and Veronica. In my quest for a new sound. I decided to play exclusively in an open guitar tuning. Allowing for note combinations not possible in standard tuning, and vice versa. This has helped me to play diffrently than I usually would. And has changed overall how I play the guitar quite a bit. Programming Bass lines and Drum machines has been a new and inspiring challenge for me.
