øjeRum - Poppeltræet Med Syv Grene

Format: CD, Digital
Pre-order: 14th February 2025
Release date: 21st February 2025

This album captures the interplay of complex emotions and shifting sentiments through the expressive voice of the electric guitar. Each track title reflects these emotional landscapes, leaving interpretation open to the listener. I want to hear the diverse stories and perspectives of those who connect with the music, so I deliberately choose not to explain too much. However, my hope is that this work resonates with those standing at life’s crossroads, navigating moments of choice and change.

From a sonic perspective, this project began with an improvisational approach using loop pedals, aiming to translate raw emotions directly into sound. Breaking from my previous methods, I embraced a new process of improvisation and editing to explore uncharted sonic territories. The electric guitar was envisioned as a canvas for emotional textures, evoking sounds of stormy turbulence or the gentle caress of a breeze. I take pride in capturing these contrasting atmospheres, as well as in preserving certain elements—sounds I might have previously discarded—that now serve as essential layers in the composition.

Through this process, I found myself uncovering unexpected shifts in my own thoughts. Observing these subtle fluctuations at a slower pace often led me to new perspectives and ideas.

I’d love to hear what landscapes or emotions this piece evokes for you.

Nº4

Vegetal Negatives is a game of sonic mutations, mimicry, inversions, and association inspired by a text called "On pataphotograms", by the French writer René Daumal – a quasi-metaphysical essay that toys with breaking the conceived separateness of natural forms through poetic imagination. 

The four electroacoustic compositions on the album combine and arrange field recordings, electronic feedback, Buchla and ARP synthesizers, bowl gong and harmonium, textures of detailed acoustic sound, and sustained tones with gentle microtonal beating into a precise musical narrative. She juxtaposes recordings of rooms and empty vessels, natural and artificial climates, spontaneous and staged events. Ahti draws upon Annea Lockwood's ideas about associative movements between sounds based on shared characteristics and sonic energy. Her approach to field recordings is neither diaristic, documentaristic, nor purely acousmatic, but rather it starts out from somewhere in between these notions: the sounds hover between abstraction and the deeply familiar, moving into a realm of poetic metaphor where they are set in relation to each other, fleetingly mirroring or shadow-dancing. Acoustic environments mutate into synthetically derived shadow forms. 

The opening track, "Coastal Inversion”, moves from a seemingly familiar seascape into an ocean of wavelike synthetic staccato patterns, turning itself inside-out on the shore, before diving back into a sea of resonance. ”Rooftop gardens” arranges a series of largely unprocessed field recordings into a dream-logic sequence of upward movement towards the clouds. On the other side, ”Symbiogenesis” brews a slow evolution of wet, airy and earthy sounds and resonant friction. The closing track, ”Chora”, imagines a meditative space of breath: filter resonance posing as organ pipes against a backdrop of breezy industrial hoovers merges halfway with a harmonium improvisation that foregrounds the frictions of the wooden instrument itself, just before filtering out into resonant harmony.
