"Ingenting Kollektiva is comprised of Diane Granahan, Kirston Lightowler, Tarrl Lightowler, and Matthew Swiezynski, and is an homage to the films of Ingmar Bergman and Sven Nykvist. The Kollektiva recordings are meditations on the quality of light, sound, and atmosphere, as well as realizations of the various forms of 'nothingness' captured by these two masters. Christmas of 2009, the Kollektiva found themselves surrounded with many recordings from the year 1969, including: Miles Davis & Teo Macero's In A Silent Way and Bitches Brew, John Surman's Way Back When and How Many Clouds Can You See?, and Extrapolation (with John McLauglin), Bert Jansch's Birthday Blues, Vashti Bunyan's Just Another Diamond Day (recorded December 1969), Fairport Convention's Unhalfbricking, Jan Garbarek & Terje Rypdal's Esoteric Circle, King Crimson's In The Court Of The Crimson King, Scott Walker's Scott Walker 4, Holger Czukay's Canaxis, plus many more. With this in mind, they recorded some songs in the Lightowlers' barn during a rainstorm, and later added recordings from Northern California and Los Angeles. The editing process then became something similar to Macero's work for Miles Davis. The recording has been issued as a long-play record with a gatefold sleeve and photographs by Tarrl Lightowler."

"These pieces were composed without the use of a computer, only a turntable, old sampler and a portable 64-track digital workstation. Each track is a distillation of commercially-available recordings with the essential qualities remaining, only very brief sections are selected and the raw components then contracted into gradually-shifting and unfolding atmospheres, offering subtle nuances and quiet restraint. Fragments from these tracks include sounds from birds or water, some being partially obscured while others are veiled references to those elements."
