"The song is about having the animal instinct inside you come to life. Running with them, joining them - the instinct taking over, giving you freedom and making you forget about your human self and all things we humans keep around us in the modern society.

I think humans need to let go a bit more, shake their bodies more often, like the animals do.. It's a beautiful thing really.

Sometimes when you look at the world, and you see what we've done to it, the way many of us hurt the world we live in, innocent animals, even our own kind! And that kind of makes you want to follow the wolves instead. At least for one night."

Aurora Aksnes is a 18 year old girl from Bergen, Norway. She strives to write music that can inspire people, through idiosyncratic tales of struggle, love, and all that lies in between.

AURORA - Running With The Wolves

Composed specifically for "All The King's Horses", an audio-visual experiment presented by Shawn Misiak at Asterisk Gallery in Cleveland, Ohio, 2006, where each piece of visual art was paired with adjacent cd players and headphones so that one might enjoy a specific private soundtrack (written without having seen the associated piece) for every artwork.

"Chloroform Orbit" was composed using as its core a ten-year-old piece written on an Ensoniq SQ-1 in 1996 or so and recorded to cassette on a crappy bookshelf home stereo unit.  By 2006 the tape was disintegrating and flaking pretty badly in playback, but that just made it sound even more zoned, so I digitized it and added a bunch of other crap on top, including multiple vocal tracks, yet more synths, and some shameless Low-esque Bowie sax.  SPACE.  IT'S DEEP, MAN.

AURORA - Awakening

I have been recording electronic and acoustic music since 1992.  The vast majority of these recordings have yet to be released (mostly for good reasons).  Some of them will appear here.
