"Nord" is based on a looped piano recording morphing into an ethereal soundscape. Apart from the low bass notes and the outdoor ambience in the end, everything you hear are manipulations of that piano loop.

The compositions on 'Flyt' (Norwegian for flux, flow or float) are based on water-derived sound sources. From dripping and running water, to snow and ice. Although the raw sound material is often heavily manipulated to the unrecognizable, I've also tried to capture situations where the water sounds could inspire to musical ideas, such as rhythmic patterns in rainfall, melodic patterns in brooks, or textures in water pipes and kitchen sinks. Like water, the music varies from dark and mysterious, to bright and playful. From crisp atonal noise to lush ambient harmonies.

'Blåne I' can best be described as Nordic landscape music. Mellow jazz solo melodies gracefully soaring over a lush ambient backdrop with manipulations of saxophone and piano recordings.

Blåne I

Blåne I (Inge W. Breistein & Haav)

The second installment of Breistein & Haav's Nordic landscape music journey. Mellow solo melodies gracefully soaring over a lush ambient backdrop with manipulations of a looping piano and saxophone parts. Layers of field recordings and mechanical noise from the saxophone adds textural depth and subtle rhythmic elements.

Blåne II (Inge W. Breistein & Haav)

An ambient rework of Inge Weatherhead Breistein's track 'Flust' from the album 'Skogskammer'

Flust Etterklang (Inge W. Breistein & HAAV)

Something different for the open-minded listener. Through sampling and experimental sound design, I manipulate field recordings, found sound, and instrument recordings into unique sonic landscapes and textures.
