Om Vattnens Högd, Part 1

"Did I In My Sleep See Two Kings". Lyric from Emanuel Swedenborg's "Journal of Dreams", 1744. Text available from project Runeberg. 

Såg Jag I Sömnen Twenne Konungar

Gick På En Spong Öfwer Wattn

Tre Månader

Som Rördes Av Ett Hjul, "Who Was Moved By A Wheel". 
All is broken. All is well. 

Som Rördes Av Ett Hjul

I Saw In A Window A Singular Animal

Til En Stolt Stridshest

Ordets Inre Mening

Lyrics from Emanuel Swedenborg's 1744 dream diary. Drömjournalen ventures into Swedenborg's nightmares, possibly originating the genre BDM - Blackened Dance Music. 

Diur Stort Med Wingar

My Wearing Cuffs Signifies That I Am Not Of The Clergy

A Transcendent Center, Where Love Itself Was

Drömjournalen is a two-man collaboration housed by the legendary Studio Chanslös in Gårda, Gothenburg. Their mix of Magische Sachlichkeit and Dark Wave engages non-duality, mathematic ecology, and ready-at-hand psychonautic machinery. Drömjournalen is the limbonic domain connecting the rationalist engineering  paradigm with spiritual or magical esoterism. 

The main rehearsal line-up consists of digital synthesizer, electric guitar, speech synthesis and programmed beats. Drömjournalen utilizes a diverse flora of looping tools, mainly serial looping pedals connected to every sound source. Although Drömjournalen is designed to be a live outfit, studio postproduction is also a creative component in the Drömjournalen aesthetic ecology. 

The moniker Drömjournalen (also known as dr. Mjournalen) refers to the dream diary of Swedish mystic and spiritual academic Emanuel Swedenborg, posthumously published in 1744 under the name Journal of Dreams (Drömboken or Swedenborgs drömmar). The band has nothing to do with neither Swedenborg, the New Church nor any other organisation that may be claiming any heritage or authority over the realm of dreams.
