XKatedral Anthology I is the first in a series of archival releases dedicated to presenting music by XKatedral affiliated composers working within the realm of slowly evolving harmonic and timbral music. This double-vinyl set contains an array of pieces dating from 2010 - 2020. Four of the works included here were originally released on cassette tape early on in the tag's history, while the two remaining pieces were presented by the tag for the first time on this compilation. This record is released in conjunction with reissues of XKatedral Anthology Series II-III. The works Ir Himinn, Groœnn by Kristofer Svensson, Disquiet (Heart) by Marta Forsberg and Lamé by Isak Edberg were first released on the cassette tape compilation XKatedral Volume II in 2016. Svensson's piece from 2014 combines gamelan percussion and prepared piano intricately interwoven in a way that obscures the boundaries between the two instrument groups. Forsberg and Edberg's pieces both use a monolithic form to explore the timbral and harmonic spaces provided by the Düben Baroque organ situated in Tyska Kyrkan in the oldest part of Stockholm. While similar in terms of instrumentation the two works differ formally - Edberg's Lamé composed in 2010 uses the registers of the organ to articulate a seamless spectral transformation while Forsberg's Disquiet (Heart) from 2014 deals in blocks of sound with a varying degree of opacity, saturation and intensity. Glory for two electric guitars by Caterina Barbieri and Kali Malone was composed and recorded in Tempo Reale in Florence, Italy, and was originally released on the cassette tape compilation XKatedral Volume III in 2016. This music takes the form of an ever-evolving hypnotic pattern shared by the two instruments articulated through an additive and subtractive canon. Dissolving Ceremony, composed in 2012 by Edberg/Erlandsson/Lisinski, was first presented
