Being considered an “electronic musician” it seems kind of ironic that I've always felt strongly connected to the sound of acoustic instruments. Maybe it was my parents strong interest in traditional Danish folk music during my childhood, or maybe it's just a basic human condition to feel at ease with the broad dynamic range and direct sound of acoustically performed music.

Anyway, I didn't hesitate one second when I was invited to participate in a songwriting workshop, focusing on the Nordic musical tone of Scandinavia, arranged by the Danish composers organization DJBFA.

The workshop was set to take place on the small scenic island of Fanø on the rugged Danish west coast, with participants coming primarily from the folk scene including high profiled musicians from Sweden, Finland & Norway. With childhood memories of bright and carefree summers spent at my grandparents old house on the island, this seemed like a no-brainer.
 
My role was to introduce the participants to the possibilities of combining the techniques of electronic music composition with the use of acoustic instruments and traditional songwriting.

The experience was overwhelming: First day I recorded all the newly written compositions and instruments of the participants over a span of 14 hours, ending up in the local village hall where the ”Godtfolk Festival” was to start the next day and beer taps had to be tested.
Here I also got a taste of the ”Sønderhoning” dance - a proud local tradition that can be traced back to the 17th century and apparently can't be danced anywhere else in the world.

The next morning I got up early and tried to get an overview of the huge piles of recordings from the day before, so I could decide what to use in my new piece. I had until 3 pm to create an entirely new piece, which was to be performed at the local church of Sønderho at 4 pm so quick decisions had to be made and no time for regrets.

The result is a track I've called “Stjernernes Lys” (“Light of the Stars”) taken from one of the the lyrics written by Jørgen Dickmeiss, who's also singing in the end of the song.

The track can be heard here in it's unedited form.

Mind Render

Wasted, and I’ve lost sight of life
Born in, and treated kind for some time. 
Please can I, pause and unnerve 
Push the light and poison lovers 

Feel the light in my eyes 
And I was feeding lovers instead of lies 
Feel the light in my eyes 
And I was feeding lovers instead of lies 

Breath in, its no long till the end 
Gone then, bones and rusty friends
Help me carry, carry in the rain
Dry bodies decay

Feel the light in my eyes 
And I was feeding lovers instead of lies 
Feel the light in my eyes 
And I was feeding lovers instead of lies

Feeding

Joey Fehrenbach - The Beginning

Murge returns on March 27, 2020 with his new EP 'Here We All Are', releasing on Loci Records.

A sonic alchemist, Murge weaves the eclectic and the electric to create dancefloor-centric beats that fill the space and lift the crowd. Inspired by travels through eastern Spain, Here We All Are is a cohesive collection of downtempo tracks, filled with fresh, earthy bass and neoteric instrumentals. Unorthodox sounds intertwine to create an expansive aural journey; one of connection and elevation. Pulling from across a variety of genres, Murge’s influences are wide ranging and free flowing; from the Cosmic era of disco to psychedelic jazz, from Latin rhythms fused with the elasticity and inclusiveness of world-inspired music to field recordings of ambient samples, captured during his own global travels.

'Here We All Are' was primarily produced at Murge’s studio The Cabin, with additional recording and mixing taking place at Burning Rainbow Studios in Victoria BC and The Warehouse in Vancouver BC, followed by mastering by Grammy nominated Shawn Hatfield at Audible Oddities. Influenced by the live instrumentals of Bonobo and Khruangbin, Murge has collaborated with some of BC’s most talented vocalists and multi-instrumentalists to create a full, world-inspired sound. First track ‘Reach Out’ is an uplifting dance floor groove reminiscent of sundowners at Cafe Del Mar; all languorous laid back beats peppered with inspiriting live flute. Lead single ‘Can’t Hurt Me Now’, featuring vocals by Sierra Lundy, is rich with moody dance floor energy and warm textures.

No stranger to packed dance floors or epic stages, Murge has entranced crowds at some of North America’s most well respected electronic festivals (Shambala, Bass Coast). A world class DJ and skilled producer, he has also shared stages with Bonobo, DJ Shadow, Flying Lotus, Hot Chip, Pete Rock, Kid Koala, De La Soul, Wu Tang Clan and Charles Bradley. With collaboration and creativity in mind, Murge has worked with Talib Kweli and Blackalicious, and has featured on remixes for Tegan & Sara, alongside Four Tet, Toro Y Moi and Holy F**k.

A longtime captain of the dance floor, Murge presents Here We All Are as a fresh offering of inspired global consciousness and transformative connectivity. 2020 is shaping up to be an expansive new chapter in Murge’s story.
