HANDGJORT
Handgjort was formed 1970 when four musicians, (with
Greg Fitzpatrick, an American Vietnam deserter in the front), that all had been
to India at different times , met back here in Sweden. They had all been
inspired by the music they heard and learned in India and sneeked into Silence
small studio in the nighttime to record this album filled with pop music with a
clearly eastern tuoch. 1970 Silence released
their album (SRS 4602) at the same time as the more well known "Lord of the
Rings" with and by Bo Hansson. Handgjort's album more or less got lost in
the hype that was created around Bo's record. Handgjort only exsisted for a year
and made their last performance at the Gärdetfest in 1971 with about 20
musicians at stage, among them Don Cherry, Mikael Ramel and several members of
Kebnekajse.
The LP and CD is a cooperation between Silence and Psykofon.
