Industrial ambient project B°TONG changes musical approach on all new album ‘A Fleeting Moment Of Superabundance’
B°TONG’s “A Fleeting Moment Of Superabundance” is available now from the French record labels Force Majeure and Les Nouvelles Propagandes. The new release is out on black vinyl or digitally. Note that the vinyl comes with a download code and is limited to only 300 copies.
This album is quite a chance for the Swedish-Swiss project B°TONG, also known as Chris Sigdell. For the first time, he’sactually playing instruments and recording live. Before this, he solely used samples and recorded sounds to create his pieces. The album has three long, ambient songs and for the first time they can be played live.
Sigdell was part of the German band NID from 1995 to 2005. As B°TONG, he focuses on experimental sound, creating moody, dark soundscapes. When performing, Chris uses microphones, metal objects, and even kitchen tools. These sounds are then modified using effects.
B°TONG has some shows coming up to promote the album:
- 23rd Sep: GummiLyd 16, Drammen
- 26th Sep: Støberiet, Copenhagen
- 27th Sep: Haerverk, Oslo
- 28th Sep: Knust, Trondheim
- 30th Sep: Klikken V Festival @ Boksen, Oslo
- 14th Oct: Fab In 4 Festival, Lodz

Why we ask
Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.

Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil. Besides music I’m also an SEO and AI content flow specialist and have an interest in everything finance from stocks to crypto. There is music in everything!
