Keep in mind that all sounds are the music. Even the wind in the mics. Everything, always.


When people see some things as beautiful, other things become ugly.
When people see some things as good, other things become bad.

Being and non-being create each other.
Difficult and easy support each other.
Long and short define each other.
High and low depend on each other.
Before and after follow each other.

Therefore the Master 
acts without doing anything
and teaches without saying anything.
Things arise and she lets them come;
things disappear and she lets them go.
She has but doesn´t expect.
When her work is done, she forgets it.
That is why it lasts forever.

Tao Te Ching

I recorded this with my door open, and my landlord passes by towards the end, so I become self conscious. That is the sound of self consciousness you hear towards the end. You can hear his footsteps in the beginning as well, but I managed to collect myself.

Let´s see if any one of you can hear where it kicks in..

What a difference a day makes!

although I know you once were a blank slate but you have to open up for me to love you

Hey Ho Let Go of my nervous system you un-empathic pile of evil

.. as I travel in this limitless world where every step I take is my home ^

espenjorgensen is an Norwegian communicator working primarily in the improvised field of the musical landscape, with acoustic guitars, e-bows and sometimes percussion in natural environments, letting all ambient sounds into the frame of the compositions.  There are never any overdubs and all sounds are equally important. Striving for naturalness, nothing is ever pre-planed, all recordings are initiated by a certain mood that occurs, trying to capture that mood before it disappears into the void.
