Fun Challenge. Thanks Ableton! <3

April 2020 was the year when Ableton Loop became #LoopAtHome.
One of the days we got the challenge to make a track only using the samples of PRES' sample pack. So this was my result. ^^,

Lîla (Single)

Curioustín

Buy album

«There is an old Sanskrit word, lîla, which means play. Richer than our word, it means divine play, the play of creation, destruction, and re-creation, the folding and unfolding of the cosmos. Lîla, free and deep, is both the delight and enjoyment of this moment, and the play of God. It also means love.
Lîla may be the simplest thing there is—spontaneous, childish, disarming. But as we grow and experience the complexities of life, it may also be the most difficult and hard-won achievement imaginable, and its coming to fruition is a kind of homecoming to our true selves.»
— Free Play, by Stephen Nachmanovtich

The root of all tracks are made together with my beloved ukulele named Lîla for the reason mentioned above. Whenever we play music together it's like time stops, and I have the opportunity to play God for a little moment; creating sounds, moving air, making brainwaves followed by emotions.. It's a form of communication beyond words, but the combination of both makes for a complete understanding of both ideas and emotions.

This is only a single, and all of the songs are a part of a greater whole. The full album will be available some time in the future.... So stay tuned.

Mindless (Work in Progress)

Curioustín

Buy album

Mindless is still a work in progress, and I will release updates as I compose them. It's an invitation to discover how I work with music. So even though you've heard it once now, it will certainly be a bit different in 3 months.

– · – ·

From waking up in to a strange dream, to being plunged out into the brutal stress of modern reality, to mental and physical breakdowns, to perceving the beauty of nature, to the exploration of our consciousness, to invasions of outer space, to re-building a (micro) society, and to eventually ending up right back where you started?

Via mindful compositing, recording and soundscaping, Mindless takes you through the cycle of life, and all the small, seemingly unimportant situations, habits, and happenings that in all actuality makes up our reality, I question our view on reality as we know it, the meaning of life to put it more "clichely". Can we teach ourselves to perceive reality through a somewhat different lense, the lense of zen buddhism, taoism possibly psychedelics combined? Why, you ask? Because we're as a global society is in pain, and we're refusing to collectively acknowledge that.

First selfmade EP, with some help from a few of my friends.

It is, what I like to call, Melodic Glitch and Intelligent Dance Music; experimental and playful. Track 3 is basically glitch-metal while track 4 is almost the opposite.

This EP is less than 20 minutes long, and takes you backwards on a little journey in a not so distant dimension; the dream world.

Hope you get something out of watching my process in Ableton Live. The song playing is the song I am working with. :)
If you have any questions, please ask. ^^,

This is still a work in progress. I think…

Listen through headphones!

I don't know why... Dead-looking plants... They resonate with me on some level. They are not really dead. They were just saving energy during the winter and will soon be very alive. Summer was approaching in the…

Synchronicity

Her på toget;
Fremtrer et kjent ansikt
Psykedelisk.
Universelt.
Den som finner, leiter ikke

Tør å våge;
Åpne den klare sikt
Kanskje en risk.
Ditt liv - du e helt.
Den som leiter, finner ikke

The Labyrinth of Thoughts (Bioluminescent)

Bioluminescence; the ability of a living organism to produce and emit light. It occurs in angler fish, fireflies, and some types of jellyfish among others.

Å Bestige Eit Jorde · (To Conquer a Field)

Det er mørkt i lyset av jorda
Det er dypt i høyden av mørket
Eg har besteget 85,3 meter
Du henger etter

Jordskjelv frå himmelen bak meg.
Aliens bygger sandslott på fjellene
Tre fugler trekker trekkfuglte i treet.

Rosa, bare…

About

I am mainly a musician experimenting with live-looping vocals, and multiple instruments such as ukulele, trombone, synthesizers, kalimba, ocarina, saw, glass, scrap metal on the ground, water, and anything else that makes a sound, anything. I make field recordings and produce somewhat electronic, somewhat acoustic music (let's call it "semi-binaural electro-acoustic sound experiences" for now...) using Ableton Live 10. I love making sound art installations, playing live gigs, composing film and game music.

While traveling around the world I also take photos of nature and try to capture the magic of everyday moments by writing part philosophical part psychedelic texts and poems in my online journal #Kvardagspsykedelika. I like to draw occasionally, and this year I've begun dancing/moving too. Aaaand I love cooking (and eating) good vegetable based food.
« I guess anything can be an art if your entire being and
soul resonates with it in the moment of creation.

It looks like I am a lot of different labels (illusions) playing with different genres, so the important thing is:

"I am", pure and simple, and so too, "you are"

– • – •)))

By the way, I am
OFFLINE.
quite a lot,
for longer periods at a time,
but I'll eventually come by to journal.
