Hourglass Dreams(2025)⏳

In the lands of Röhm, life has been corrupted.

Fertile soils have turned to dust, rivers have dried, and a strange dark magic spreads from the north, emanating from a cursed epicenter known as the Maelström.

The hero Talisker leaves his homeland behind, abandoning safety and comfort, and ventures across the withered plains, where ash drifts with the wind and desolation reigns. His journey takes him to the frozen north, where ice and storm are relentless, and finally to the forgotten city of Silentia, a place of shadows and ancient secrets.

There, Talisker crosses the portal of the Maelström, stepping into an unknown world full of danger, mystery, and trials that will test his courage and spirit.
Facing the Maelstrom is a musical journey: dungeon synth with analog pads, driving arpeggios, pulsing drones, and evolving synthetic textures, immersing you in the epic of this journey, the dark beauty of a devastated world, and the determination of a hero facing the abyss.

Step into the storm.
Follow Talisker.
Discover what lies beyond the Maelström.


Forgotten citadel of Silentia

Homeland farewell

Pulse of Röhm

Into the Maelström

The withered plains

Whispers of the Fallen

The last light

The frostmarch

An exploration into repetition, found sound, atmospherics and feel conveyed through a pulsating motorik beat. A murky fuzz drenched antithetical musical odyssey, a hypnotic soundtrack to the daily grind.

Mats Orveland/"MO-PROJECT": 
Composer, keyboard and drum-programming, (exept where other mentioned). 
My music is often improvised, and several songs are actually unfinished song drafts. But I hope you can ignore that and instead listen to my feelings and my thoughts. I like to play with sounds, ambient, effects, electronic instruments and tools. Drawing influences from different electronic music genres. Mostly Tangerine Dream, Brian Eno, Vangelis, Jean-Michel Jarre and Tony Banks. 
Relax and breathe, to my sound-carpets! <3

"Instead of shooting arrows at someone else’s target, which I’ve never been very good at, I make my own target around wherever my arrow happens to have landed.
You shoot your arrow and then you paint your bulls eye around it, and therefore you have hit the target dead centre."
— Brian Eno

"Always remember that when you hear a marvellous sound coming from a synthesizer it is not the machine that is doing it - it is the imagination of the man playing it."
/Vangelis

"Love is the only thing that transcends all dimensions, including time and space." <3

A project born of wanting to create more ambient soundtrack / soundscape inspired music. A mix of electronic and post-rock aesthetics.
