Closing In On You

Collaboration with "sonic structures and silent stretches"!!

<< Poetry >>
it‘s not like
she doesn‘t understand
what this silence
around her
is for

after all
there‘s this desire
feeding meditaton industries
monetizing inner calm
awareness

each human being
a kettle about to boil over
spill watery, bubbly, glittering marbles
sweet nothings kept for
nobody‘s sake

each mind‘s mouthpiece
a pressure valve, vibrating
under strain not to let off steam
verbosely explode
right nto her face

she still wouldn‘t mind
for this audience of roaring silences
to turn a listening ear
towards her artistic endeavours
every now and then

Poetry

The Silent Treatment (collab with sonic structures and silent stretches)

Three tree hill.

While the old people are busy building up their village, the mothers are sewing clothes, cooking and taking care of the cattle, the children are driven out into the adjacent forest. A completely new playground opens up for them. Although the old ones had forbidden them to go into the forest, they did. Perhaps without knowing what dangers they would expose themselves to. But the forest beckoned. It lured with scents, strange yet familiar sounds, animals that quickly hid when someone got too close. Further down, the children came to a small river playing and laughing, purring softly as it made its way through the thicket. The sun was glistening in the drops of water from the spray that the small river washed up on the stones lying on the bank. A boy called out to the other children from some distance away, pointing to a tree trunk. Only a few feet separated them from the boy standing on the bank, who gestured wildly at the log. The group of children stood with open mouths all around the tree trunk. Strange characters were carved into its bark, a kind of dream catcher hung down from one of the branches, and a wooden stake driven into the ground rose up in front of them. Perched on it was a pearly, tiny skull. Deliberating about whether to go to the old ones to report their discovery, the magnificent playground around them forced them to resume playing. Only little 'Fridjor' slipped away from the group to seek out the village. Once in the village, he told his father about the strange runes down by the river. His father rounded up a few companions to make their way to the river. This was to be significant. A new chapter is about to begin in Risengaard...

Während die alten damit beschäftigt waren, ihr Dorf aufzubauen, die Mütter Kleider nähten, kochten und sich um das Vieh zu kümmerten, trieb es die Kinder hinaus in den angrenzenden Wald. Ein gänzlich neuer Spielplatz tat sich ihnen auf. Obwohl es die alten ihnen verboten hatten in den Wald zu gehen, taten sie es. Vielleicht ohne zu wissen, welchen Gefahren sie sich aussetzen würden. Doch der Wald lockte. Er lockte mit Düften, seltsamen und doch vertrauten Geräuschen, Tieren, die sich schnell versteckten, wenn ihnen jemand zu nahe kam. Weiter unten kamen die Kinder spielend und lachend an einen kleinen Fluss, der sich leise säuselnd seinen Weg durch das Dickicht bahnte. Die Sonne spiegelte sich glitzernd in den Wassertropfen der säumenden Gischt, die der kleine Fluss an die am Ufer liegenden Steine spülte. Ein Junge rief aus einiger Entfernung die anderen Kinder herbei, deutend auf einen Baumstamm. Nur ein paar Meter trennte sie von dem am Ufer stehenden Jungen, der wild gestikulierend auf den Baumstamm deutete. Die Gruppe der Kinder stand mit offenen Mündern ringsherum um den Baumstamm. Seltsame Schriftzeichen waren in seiner Rinde eingeritzt, eine Art Traumfänger hing von einem der Äste herab und vor ihnen ragte ein in den Boden gerammter Holzpflock empor. Auf diesem thronte ein perlmuttfarbener, winziger Schädel. Beratschlagend darüber, ob sie zu den alten gehen sollten um von ihrer Entdeckung berichten sollten, zwang sie der herrliche Spielplatz um sie herum, wieder weiterzuspielen. Nur der kleine ‚Fridjor‘ schlich sich weg von der Gruppe, um das Dorf aufzusuchen. Im Dorf angekommen berichtete er seinem Vater von den seltsamen Runen unten am Fluss. Sein Vater trommelte ein paar Gefährten zusammen, um sich auf den Weg zum Fluss zu machen. Dies sollte bedeutungsvoll sein. Ein neues Kapitel steht bevor in Risengaard…

This is the first track I've created after wrapping up my new album “aes.thet.ics”. There is always uncertainty as to what I want to work on after releasing a collection of material. (or if I need a break)It's a combination of relief/fulfillment, mixed with self imposed pressure as to needing to come up with ideas for future work.

Going back to minimal piano remains a comforting direction. For me it's always a rewarding emotional release. 

**more tracks to share soon from "aes.thet.ics"

Nordic Soul Syndicate – HEMI SYNC: The Binaural Delta Awakening
är inte bara en musikalisk upplevelse – det är ett medvetandeexperiment.

Inspirerad av de verkliga Hemi-Sync-teknikerna som utvecklades under CIA:s Gateway Project – en serie hemliga försök att utforska medvetandets gränser, astral projektion och hjärnvågssynkronisering – tar denna platta lyssnaren med på en resa in i deltafrekvensens djup. Det är i detta tillstånd kroppen sover, men sinnet vaknar.

Musiken är byggd som ett meditativt ritualverk, med fokus på långsamma pulser, organiska drönande klanger och subtila frekvensskiftningar som stimulerar hjärnans naturliga rytmer.
Det är ingen vanlig funk- eller jazzfusionplatta – här handlar det om kontrollerad stillhet.

För att uppleva skivan rätt krävs lugn och ro, mörker och närvaro. Helst med hörlurar, gärna liggande, där de två hjärnhalvorna får smälta samman i den binaurala illusionens skymningszon.

Den som lyssnar kommer gradvis känna hur:

tankarna löses upp,

tidens linjära flöde blir cirkulärt,

och en mild vibrerande klarhet tar över kroppen.

Detta är Nordic Soul Syndicate i sitt mest experimentella och esoteriska tillstånd – en hemlig portal till det undermedvetna.
En platta för dem som vågar öppna dörren.

Song for Grand

Piano is my instrument, inspired by the world. Sounds like whatever I like, intent on a cool vibe, often somewhere in between Swedish melancholy and Brazilian bittersweetness... 

Peter Bennborn Project is a diverse musical experience ranging from romantic piano ballads to alternative indie metal rock and everything in between, but for country and reggae so far...

The music is either performed alone or in worldwide collaborations, wherever the appropriate musician for the task is located - no limitations and no limits in a borderless world...
