Many Icelanders own a summer house. Almost all this summer houses have a outdoor hot tub spa.
In July 2011 I spent one week in workers union summer house. Of course there was a hot tub where my son spent many hours for fun. I put my Aquarian mics in the tub. Part of the result can be hear in this session.
Recorder: Korg MR1000 with SD552 preamp.
Mics: Aquarian H2a XLR40cm apart
Pix: Olympus 4040 in Ewa-Marine pocket.

Boy in a hot tub.

Henrik has been an integral part of the Ambientologist family from the beginning, and it’s with great pride that his work be showcased as an early member of the label family, and more still in offering a rare full length album.

Själ ties everything the Stockholm based cellist has been doing into a consolidated, coherent and above all magnificent work, filled with rich emotion and, in keeping with its namesake, beguiling soul. As one of the most expressive instruments at a composer’s disposal, Henrik allows the cello to do the talking. Slow and deeply stirring arcs, married with sweeter taps of piano, cello plucks and subtle electronics.

The evocative capacity of television or film scores pervades the album, each track painting up vivid imagery of both the real and the transcendent. Sväva takes the listener on a journey above a rolling desert, while Ren Och Fin paints a pensive picture of medieval Europe that would give Ramin Djawardi a run for his money. Master of atmosphere, anthéne, provides the epilogue with his expansive deconstruction of Kraft.

Above all, Själ is as elegant as it is grounded in immersive feeling and deep, resonant imagery. And in his own words:

The soul communicating with the nervous system.
It gives you thoughts and images in your inner mind.
It can be memories or diffuse pictures. It takes you away from reality.
A musical-tonal floating away of the mind.

Lsoo Vneg [disquiet0454]

In August 2020 there was a few days of some intense thunderstorms across the UK. On this particular day I put my microphone rig out under the cover of a large hedge outside my flat and recorded for several hours. For most of the recording the hedge was inhabited also by a robin, who sang softly throughout most of the storm. 

This is a short excerpt from that longer recording where I like the density of the rain, and where the song cuts through just enough. It was the middle of the day so you'll hear some traffic and other sounds of activity from where I live, at the edge of a city.

Trio for harp, flute and viola

Performed by Ghost Ensemble at Areté venue and gallery, Brooklyn November 2019

Margaret Lancaster(flute)
Lucia Stavros (harp)
Carrie Frey(viola)

After some time away from composing notated music, being occupied more with open and text scores, the lovely Ghost Ensemble approached me for a piece, and what came out is an actual score and this lovely performance in November 2019. 

Thank you Ben Richter and Ghost Ensemble for organizing this sensitive, nuanced and thoughtful performance of a piece that could have gone many different ways.

Please write me if you'd like to take a look at the score!
