The current music scene is great because of the places where music is made and the experiments that are repeated by each personality. For individual creators, it is much more valuable to have an environment where they can come into contact with a large number of personalities than to be spread.

Despondent One crafts deeply immersive soundscapes, blending electronic and ambient elements to evoke powerful emotions tied to memory, time, and the subconscious. Their music explores themes of fragility, transience, and the fleeting nature of moments, drawing listeners into a meditative space where reality and dreams blur together. Each track becomes a sonic journey through fragmented memories, like fleeting glimpses of experiences that have slipped through the cracks of time.

One of Despondent One’s signature tracks, “Oblivion By Design,” captures this essence perfectly. With delicate, shimmering synths, glitchy rhythms, and haunting melodies, the track weaves an intricate narrative of loss and introspection. The sound builds slowly, allowing the listener to be enveloped in a vast, atmospheric space where each note feels like a memory just out of reach. The pacing is deliberate, giving room for moments of silence that invite reflection before the next wave of ambient sound washes over. It’s an emotional exploration of the quiet spaces between thoughts, where forgotten fragments of experience lie waiting to be rediscovered.

This track, along with the rest of the album “Fragments,” embodies Despondent One’s exploration of fragmented emotions and memories. The album, as its title suggests, is a collection of pieces that feel like a larger puzzle—intentionally scattered and elusive. Each track offers a glimpse into a different state of mind, encouraging the listener to engage with their own personal reflections, thoughts, and forgotten moments.

Despondent One’s music blends a variety of styles and influences while maintaining an ambient, introspective core. Subtle elements of glitch, downtempo, and even post-rock can be heard throughout the music, lending it a rich texture and depth that keeps it fresh with every listen. The focus, however, remains on creating atmospheric landscapes that evoke emotion and introspection. Whether it’s the quiet, shimmering beauty of an ambient drone or the haunting repetition of glitch-infused beats, each sound is crafted to evoke a feeling of wonder and melancholy.

Listeners of Despondent One’s work often describe their music as an emotional journey, one that invites you to sit with your thoughts and explore the forgotten corners of your mind. Whether used as a soundtrack to a late-night drive, a meditation session, or simply as a means of escaping the noise of everyday life, the music provides a deep well of emotional resonance. Despondent One’s tracks become more than just songs; they are emotional landscapes where listeners can find solace in their introspection.

Despondent One’s work continues to evolve, consistently pushing the boundaries of ambient and electronic music to explore new emotional and auditory experiences. As an artist, they are dedicated to the craft of building immersive atmospheres where each note, each sound, has a purpose and a place. The name “Despondent One” reflects the melancholic yet beautiful tone of the music: while there is sadness and solitude in the work, there is also peace and quiet revelation. It is a journey through light and shadow, where the listener is encouraged to find their own emotional meaning within the sound.

For fans of ambient, electronic, and introspective music, Despondent One offers a space for reflection, immersion, and emotional connection. Each release provides a deeper look into the themes of memory, time, and the impermanence of life’s moments, inviting listeners to step into a sonic world where every fragment of sound tells a story. Despondent One’s music can be found on SoundCloud, where listeners are invited to immerse themselves in the ever-evolving catalog of work that blends emotion, atmosphere, and sound into a seamless experience.

For those seeking music that resonates with the quiet spaces of life, Despondent One offers a place to reflect and lose oneself in the fragmented beauty of sound.

Proyecto5813 pertenece al laboratorio audiovisual de CERCo21 (Centro de Estudios y Revisión Conrinuum). Un espacio que investiga lo que tienen en común una torre eléctrica y una palmera, los andes y los rascacielos, un microchips y una hélice de ADN. P5813 es un sintetizador que sondea las proporciones para orquestar sonidos, esculpir piedra, edificar ciudades y construir herramientas. Alquimia de Valores. No hay lugar para el arte por el arte mismo sino como producción estética. No es un deleite a los sentidos sino un choque psicológico que utiliza los sentidos como medio. Música para la vista. P5813 es la armonía entre la arquitectura de frecuencias  y un oscilador de punto-línea.
El ruido de la tecnología. Música hecha con los deshechos del capitalismo.

Sjonkel Rolfsen is a vinyl enthusiast and music collector from Trondheim in Norway. He has been welding records at local venues and events for two decades. Nowadays, he mostly enjoys to fiddle around with experimental and ambient in the comfort of his humble abode, but still get the odd epiphany to wonder out into the enchanting world of house and techno. When he is not fumbling about on the decks, he likes to travel. He tries to play with the possibility of combining electronica and leftfield soundscapes, in a mixcast friendly way, catering to your everyday soundtrack needs.

I'm an avant-garde musician. I like to experiment with software, instruments, and everyday objects when creating on a song.

Music is my latest artistic passion; aside from being deeply invested in making music, I create digital art, drawings, paintings, mixed-media pieces, photography, photomanipulations, poetry, and short stories. All of which can be found on my DeviantArt: Leehon.

Thank you for reading and listening.

love the dark, sad, experimental and hazy side of things, hypnotic loops and damaged sounds. massive horror geek. not without a sense of humour. partner in crime with Shelley and Loren.

if you're questioning why or how i'm able to upload on a frequent basis, simply put - i have A LOT of time on my hands at this point in my existence, a wealth of music/sounds to draw upon, and a decent collection of software to make things (e.g. both the synth and fx arturia vst collections). i'm not just auto-generating ai pieces ad nauseum, at the same time i have nothing against using ai in the creative process, but not as an outright replacement for creation. i really think the witch hunt over it all is a bit ridiculous, fueled by the greed pig corporate media companies mostly. 

one thing i've learned about making at least a little bit of money from streaming my music beyond measley penny scraps, i have to upload frequently and i've been experimenting with reuploading/reposting my tracks for better play counts (for now), if even it only results in cutting costs.

Genocide, June 2025:
Israel is only the executioner, every nation which has armed that country in the past year is an accessory to that genocide, an accomplice, a facilitator.  We cannot talk about war crimes because when you target unarmed civilians, mostly women and children, we are talking about a massacre, like terrorists do, not a war. The people who orchestrated that massacre, in the US, the most duplicitous, followed by those of the UK, Germany, France, and probably a few lesser ones should be tried for crimes against humanity just as well as Netanyahu and his cabinet, because it has been going on for two years, generously reported by media of all kinds, so the enablers knew exactly how the arms were to be used, as a tool for revenge, domination, and humiliation of the Palestinian people.  The conflict has ceased to be about the defense of anything for months.

The parties responsible have made a mockery of decency, morals, fairness, proportion, or justice, not to mention empathy.  Of what little there was, these concepts will be a lot longer to come back than they were to be struck down.  

Is it 1984 already?!?!

I have not been able to recover access to my other account [https://soundcloud.com/ha-kekong] for a couple of years.  I have tried a few times to get back into it but SoundCloud doesn't trust me.  Same phone number, same email addresses, and they still claim that they can't verify my identity.  I created that account about three years ago as a substitute to my regular account which SoundCloud temporarily closed.  They closed it as part of some upgrade procedure in their system, the result of a bug that affected many accounts, about two years ago.  Since SC did not inform its users I didn't know if that was permanent or not, so I created that other account which I can't access.  Don't be mad if I have not replied to your message in the past two years, that's because I never got them ; ) ... You can always reach me here though.
...

This one here (957729823) is for regular folks.

I love you, both.

You can't see it because of the angle with which I took the shot, aiming down, but beyond those blocks is the sea.  To the left is the Mediterranean, to the right is the Atlantic Ocean.  No it's not Gibraltar, but a little bit further West. ... Actually I checked recently and it is further North more than West, I thought I was facing South when in fact I probably was facing the Atlantic ocean, which is why I suppose the waves were of a decent size where we were.

I then went ahead and butchered his work with a borrowed helmet.
... Sorry Joe. =(

I'm trying to promote what I think is good music, so if you want to help out a bit I'd rather you [like] or [repost] my *playlists* rather than my field recordings, if you don't mind, unless you are a die hard fan of those things. Thank you ; )

I speak French, so if you send me a private message, and that you are a francophone, please write in French, thank you.  ... I mean, you don't absolutely have to, but I would prefer it. 

All my field recordings (except for when I record a person) are public, freely downloadable by anyone who is able to click on the button.  I encourage anyone interested to use them in any way whatsoever, on purpose or accidentally. No need for permissions or credits or any other kind  of administrative maneuvers.
...

Anarchists give me hope.

I'm a big fan of EFF.  Love ya EFF.  (no connection with the above line)
... and of course Richard Stallman and Linux and all the others.  Bless yous.

Now don't be lazy, go find out what it is this "EFF" that I'm talking about.  I'll give you a hint: it has to do with computers.

You have a nice day now.  Hugs & Kisses.
