6th Edition

– • – •)

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. 

- · - · 

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.

PREPARE YOUR LISTENINGEXPERIENCE:

• Put on your best pair of headphones, or place yourself in the "sweetspot" of your speakers.

PRESS PLAY. LISTEN WITHOUT LISTENING.

• After the playthrough, take a moment to reflect on what you are feeling now comapared to before. Write something down if you feel like it.

• Optionally: do another listeningsession with this new knowledge in mind.

Bioluminescence, the ability of a living organism to produce and emit light. Angler fish, fireflies, some types of jellyfish... The list goes on.

In this case it's a metaphor: I'm sharing with you my own, newly discovered bioluminescence, "the way" out of the darkness of my labyrinthian mind. Or rather, a way to live in some kind of harmony with my darker self.
Present is the essence of the yin yang-symbol from the Taoist philosophy, a way to remind myself that life is a balancing act, and also that there is light in the darkness if one only lets it shine through, if one lets go of all the mental obstacles.

Realize that the maze in your mind is «the Way», that no direction is more right or more wrong than another, that you are a unique creature too, just like everyone else.

Enjoy all the small moments in life. Make the best out of it, and don't be controlled by fear. We're all terrified to be alive, to be conscious, to be, but we are, and we create. Our two primary drive forces in life is to take care of ourselves, and take care of our species. In other words, eat, sleep and fuck. We reproduce = we create. Do your thing your way. Treat every "rule" in life as guidelines, but make up your own mind. Experiment. Be curious. 
   We are creations, creatures born (to be) creators.

Sound design made in Ableton Live with Circle 2 and Glitch 2 plug-ins mainly.

_Gratitude Section_

• A thousand thanks to Daniel Lindestad for exploring Amsterdam with me.
• A thousand thanks to Berlin, my flatmates in Moabit, and that late evening I watched a documentary on YouTube about Bioluminescense which sparked this project, literally. ;)
• A thousand thanks to the Universe, to Tao, «the Way», or whatever force or anti-force pulling or pushing us through time and space.

Bioluminescent

Absolutely all sounds are made by me and my Zoom H6, most of them in Amsterdam the 8th of march 2020. 

If you like it, please share it. ^^ <3

Løvet rødmer

Omgivelsan dem flyg forbi
Mens æ ser på
Tankan flyg i takt med dem
Fortida e vanskelig å spå

5 år har det gått sidan eg komponerte denne songen på ein togtur frå Oslo til Bergen. Endeleg har alle stemmer, instrument, og lyder funnet sin plass, og eg er fornøgd med opplevinga.
