Escapism
The tendency to seek distraction and relief from unpleasant realities, especially by seeking entertainment or engaging in fantasy.

When escapism is helpful, it is when we take a moment to step out of our reality and experience a period of escape from the challenges of our lives. It can help to prevent burn out, can reduce our stress and can increase our feelings of hope, determination, courage and psychological strength.

Hailing from Kristiansund on the northwest coast of Norway, Helge Tømmervåg has been crafting electronic sounds since the early '80s.

He's released scores of highly regarded and stylistically uncompromising sounds over the years, appearing on labels including Silent Seasons, Diametric, Hibernate, Whitelabrecs, ROHS! Lontano Series, Shimmering Moods Records, Slow Tones Collages and via his own Berserk Fabrik.


ABOUT THE MUSIC
Electronic music for daydreamers and nighthinkers. Inspired by the icy winds, snowy vistas and frozen landscapes in Norway.

If you can picture the very furthest, coldest, darkest part of Norway, that's where Mind over MIDI resides. If you want to get an idea of what it's like there, and can do without the frostbite, then this is the perfect solution.
