Latest Release | 3rd of November 2023 | 2-track single "With Time"
"With Time" is the second single from the upcoming album "The Absence of Noise". It is a 2-track single consisting of "With Time" as the title track and "Nowhere" as a sort of B-Side.
With time I have learned to understand and know myself, how to deal with myself, the way I am and the way I work. With time ……. music has become more than a hobby, more than a passion. It has become a sort of therapy for me. An escape. When I am restless, not okay or do not know what to do with myself, I turn to music, to make music. The way I get lost in it, disappearing, helps me get through a lot of the disturbances and turbulence in my life. It gives me a temporary peace of mind. A short moment of being somewhere else. I withdraw to my “special hiding place”, my “treehouse”. The track feels a bit like an exploration, like looking for something or getting away from something. A growing feeling of being on the edge and your senses are heightened. Like something is coming to an end. “Nowhere” (B-side to “With Time”)
There is not really a story behind “Nowhere”. The track is more meant as a “B-side” to “With Time” (then being the A-Side). The old fashioned single concept have more or less vanished, at least in the streaming world, which has become the largest platform for listening to music. Nowadays the trend and recommendation are to release single tracks. Somehow I just really miss the good old times before streaming with cassettes and vinyls. I know that it’s still a live to a certain extend, but it could be nice to revive the A and B-side concept within the streaming format, maybe as a special or separate feature. For obvious reason, “Nowhere” will not be on the upcoming album “The Absence of Noise”. The itself track is an exploration of uncharted territories with a fragmented feeling of being cold, repressed or burnt out, the impression of being on a journey, but being stuck, wanting to move on. It is intense! |

Releases Before 2021
Released September 2015 via digital music label Tape Heads and Bandcamp.
“Silent Echoes” is a 2 track EP consisting of ambient, downtempo and mellow elements (amongst others). It starts with Towards the Night, which gives you a sort of comfortable and familiar foundation. You need to listen very closely, and once settled in, you will then notice all the subtle details, changes and growth (organic and thoughtful growth). The final soundscapes and atmospheres in Towards the Night will then lead you to Hidden Moments, where the sound is a little less familiar, taking you to slightly different musically landscape, making you want to carry on and discover all the “hidden moments”. |
