Private Project

Polar Fox and saturday Cat

This is original song written by Tomi Christiansson, the singer and the guitar player in this take. This song is planned to be sent to competitions as a composition, though it is a music video.Here is Matilda Mother band playing and singing by one take, no added sounds or digital editing, though cuts between two cameras. Ninel Smaragda in drums and Atomic Waldemar in guitar reacting to each others playing. This is different way to do music and the idea is to find totally own sound while performing. Composer Tomi Christiansson build the songs and harmonies suprising way and the microtonality is part of it strongly.
Lyrics
Polar Fox and the saturday Cat
White as snow with pointed ears
Striped like a tiger three screens to the left
looking out the window
counting the birds flying by
It´s all there for your eyes
they´re still there behind the blinds
Three woodpeckers in a same tree
going round and round and round
fox&cat in the window
counting the turns they make
It´s all there...
The smell of earth getting ready for springtime
and the snow on the roof
In slowly melting as the rays of the sun
getting warmer
now you need no proof
It´s all there...

Director Biography - Tomi Waldemar Christiansson

Tomi Christiansson is a self-learned guitar player from Finland and he is Matilda Mother band´s composer. The members are Ninel Grönholm and Tomi Christiansson.
His main instrument is the electric guitar and especially the melodic, feedback guitar, though most of the recordings has been made with an acoustic guitar, drums, piano, sometimes bass or slide guitar.
The name of the band comes from Pink Floyd ´s song Matilda Mother. They have published two LP vinyls: Sähkö and 700Napa-38, digital material more in bandcamp. There are two members and they do all the noise and sounds. Music influences vary a lot, but Tomi Christiansson has learned to play by ear at very early ages. He is listening and processing the harmonies in his head all the time: music is his life and he improvizeses as a method daily and processes new material for compositions constantly. As improvising is the method in this band, Ninel and Tomi have started to go towards longer pieces choosing one or two themes and varying the instruments while playing. The moment when the sound is still fresh and not overbaked for some common conception of how music should sound. Some raw but definitely their own unique sound, that´s what Matilda Mother band is made of.
