ALBUM FOUND is about finding an expression with the nature of a physical medium of sound, analog audio tape. Working with a physical medium, the process is less effective and requires patience, acceptance of limitation and a certain loss of control to the ‘will’ of the medium. 
I find that the outcome is rewarding on both a sonic and personal level. 
Features like character, presence and tactility in the sound along with a more troubled workflow is the nature of this old technology. Essentially the tape machines offer a space of sonic possibilities to explore. All tracks on ALBUM FOUND are found in live performances with my tape machine-setup - somewhere between intention and chance.

ALBUM FOUND is releasing on ØEN REC on the 19th of august.

Jacob David - Intet Forbi (Hviledag rework)

Hjælp Mig Ud Af Mig Selv

Sidste Vinter

Vi Finder Vej

At Forsvinde I Hinanden

Played live at Esbjerg Ensembles event 'Since Brass nor Stone' in November.
The performance was livestreamed and recorded by danish national radio (DR P1). 

The tapeloop was made live on the evening and recorded when Esbjerg Ensembles string quartet played Brahms String quartet no. 1 in C-minor.
The recording was cut into a short tapeloop and played at half speed. 
I processed the loop through an mpc 1000, an A&H mixer and a tapeecho.

Hope you enjoy, and thanks a lot to Esbjerg Ensemble for the opportunity.

Tape opus no. 1

My contribution to Diode Culture's 'Esbjerg Electronic'
Released on the 29th of march
All tracks mastered by Mads Kinnerup / MK Master

Afgrund Vind Vand

I recently re-discovered this in my archives, recorded two years ago before my set at CPH Jazz Festival. 
When the song was recorded, it came from an intense feeling of being worn-out from doing Cultural event-work through Diode Culture. 

Our cancelled cultural and social lives, has induced a feeling of restlessness and frustration, but also a possibility for peaceful introspection, that is unique to our current, common situation. 
It gives us the opportunity to see ourselves from the outside, and what mode and values, one has been cultivating. 

The temporal shift between the creation of the song and it's release, counts so many events, that lead up the surrealistic situation we're in today. 
Because of this, I decided to release this song now, with it's original project-title. 
I hope it can serve as a cross-temporal statement, reaching into the pandemic, from a time that had it's tribulations too.
