Desiderii
Marginis...
was
formed in 1993 in Mjölby, Sweden by Johan Levin as a solo-project. The intention
was initialy to release just a few demotapes with material that failed to fit
into the repertoire of my main band at the time - "The wounded meadow". The
first three tapes "Consecrare", "Via Peregrinus" and "Triptych"
were limited to a modest handfull. Some of these songs later appeared in new
versions on the album Songs over ruins, released on the loveable Cold Meat Industry
label. Occasionaly enthusiasts ask for these early tapes but they are not available
at the moment. Hopefully I´ll be able to release some selected works from these
tapes in the future.
Besides
making music for Desiderii Marginis I´m also involved in a medieval
band called "Galtagaldr". I play bouzouki, dulcimer, bombarde, flutes
and shawn. I'm interested in history, medieval art and architechture, calligraphy, philosophy
and archaeology among others. I work for the archaeological department at the provincial museum of Östergötland.
