Petite Victory Collective Welcomes Access Times

PressAnnouncement
Written By AB

We're today delighted to officially welcome Access Times in the family. Access Times is: Alpha Mound aka Joakim Westlund (modular, keys, bass & drums), DVR aka Olav Christensen (guitar) and Foggy aka Phil Hanson (trumpet). Formed out of a collaborative experiment, Access Times are excited to release their debut album, ‘System Restart’, with Petite Victory Collective on July 1st.

Joakim Westlund - Multi-intstrumental and multi-genre with a lean towards the ambient. Making music in the mill town of Sandviken, Sweden. Previous releases as Alpha Mound on PVC are ”Still Explorations” and ”Displacement”.

Olav Christensen - Guitar player with an affinity for complex ambient layers. Originally from Copenhagen, Denmark, now living in Brooklyn, NY. Previous releases as DVR on PVC include a track on compilation album MNNW and independently released soundtrack for the critically acclaimed and international award winning movie "Finding Ophelia".

Phil Hanson - Free-Modal Ambient Jazz Trumpeter, from Yorkshire in England, now full time resident in France. Originally from a classically trained background, Phil has been on a journey of free-improvisation and musical experimentation since 2009. System Restart is Phil’s first PVC release.

’System Restart’ is an Ambient Jazz soundscape with LoFi vibes, as musically complex as it is beautifully simplistic. More about it soon.
