Patrik Torsson - Gästhamnar
“Gästhamnar” (“Guest harbours”) is about one of the most obvious things of summer: the life of people in small boats. The coastline and the archipelago are embellished with white sails on the horizon. People are mooring and fendering. Side by side lie the seasonal adventurers protected by the sheltering piers, by wooden jetties from the north to the south and let the ship and its crew rest for the night. The guest harbour is an oasis for sailors and motorboat people. Clothes can be washed, provisions be obtained and fuel filled up. The children can run on dry land for awhile.
This record paints, through its quotations from the Swedish Coastguide, detailed pictures of these temporary homes. The simple and unaffected sound supplies the feeling of holiday, the silence and in part the sad insight that this paradise is something perishable. “Gästhamnar” is a pilot that guides us into the warm Swedish summer months.
