Numbers & Letters by Joxfield
Numbers & Letters is a 2,5 hours collaboration album with the Joxfield duo Janne Yan Andersson & Stefan Oax Ek and a lot of musical friends from everywhere (see album credits)
When we were about to start our new recording sessions in 2007 we had decided we wanted to bring our music into territories where we had never been before. To do so we wanted to involve other people and asked around amongst artists we liked and respected and to whom we could direct a mission - contribute to our music in an open-minded and creative way. Most of those we asked generously brought their inspiration to us and went into the project, sometimes for a specific track, sometimes for many of them.
Most of the music is recorded in 2007 with lots of additional recordings, editing and treatments in 2007 - 2010.
