I came home one day, after a long days work, and had barely slept the night before and instead of sitting down and just relax, I needed to do something, because, you know... Restlessness. So I mixed up this spacy bowl of soup in about 3 hours and voila, Tau Volantis came into being.

Tau Volantis

A single off of my upcoming debut solo album and my first and currently only track using a microtonal guitar, inspired by King Gizzard and middle eastern music in general. It was a fun ride making this track and lo and behold, an actual song came out of it!

Lyrics:
This is what 
We've all been
Yearning for
Meaning in meaningless times

You can delay
Your own decay
By following these
Arbitrary steps:

Seek it out 
Deep within 
Your inner self
It's certainly 
Possible to grasp
The thing we call 
Consciousness

Breathe in
Breathe out
While trying 
Not to frown

Seek it out
Seek it out 

Seek it out 
Deep within 
Your inner self
It's certainly 
Possible to grasp
The thing we call 
Consciousness

Breathe in
Breathe out
While trying 
Not to frown

Introspection

A yin to the yang that is Dreamscape, which you can find at my composer Bandcamp site Lasse S.H.
A song I had fun doing, which is essentially the second part to Dreamscape, but in the end became it´s own standalone song

Dream Escape

An old ambient track I made with a loop pedal with layers of guitar fade-ins and then sprinkled some piano on top of it all. Nothing fancy, just a little chill interlude, so to speak.

Euphoric Stance

An old and simple song I wrote years ago, that has laid dormant until recently, when I finally revived and refreshed it with a new set of lyrics, a broader sonic landscape (multiple vocals/harmonies/choir and multiple guitars added)and finally a chance to record it, after getting hold of my own recording gear. 
There's more to the meaning of the title and song, but it's basically about how everyone can be overwhelmed by one's own thoughts/ thought-patterns, and how it can then manifest into one's way of acting in life, both towards one-self and others. The urge to really want to be there for someone but you just can't, because the mind is constantly in a totally different place, either because of overthinking, guilt or shame, which can lead to you ending up in a limbo, where option paralysis then insues. And I just realized that this description suddenly got a little dark... Anyway, I hope you'll find positivity and meaning in this song, because it is really meant to do so. Enjoy :)
Lyrics:
It's all right
Just tell it to me
I am listening
So closely

Though I'm not
Really here tonight
And haven't been
For some time

For distractions
And tribulations
Goddamn confusion

Had me weary
Restless indeed
Empty feelings falling
Oh so steep

But yet you see
Right through me
Your visions
I do so envy

And are they still
what you would feel
they'd be
Even after this?

I would give you all
Attention in the world
With so much more
But focus is shattered
Scattered

Yet it's still intact
in a way
For we both seem to react
Or so we'd say

Because self-doubt
Is without a doubt
Indeed
Still the darkest cloud

Serendipity

This song started as a simple folk song, but turned into this completely different thing. It's a homage to this world we currently inhabit, a loveletter to Mother Earth if you will and how this planet evolves so that we can thrive in this world. And literally everything in existence is always in motion, one way or another, which is truly unbelievable and hard to fathom. Corny, but it's the truth. Enjoy!
Lyrics:
Layer after layer
Earth seems to form
Like an onion
All the inner layers

Breaks out and contorts
Breaks down and distorts

It's curling out of it self

Infinite loops of renewal

Ain't it funny how it works?
Always moving forward
The Earth
Knowing it will never
Ever reverse

(Nothing in) existence
Does ever regress
The great unfurling
Is always in progress

It's curling out of it self

Infinite loops of renewal
Infinite loops of renewal

Shedding it's own skin
For you and for me
Shedding it's own skin
For you, me and kin

Infinite loops of renewal
Infinite loops of renewal

Superposition Principle

Contrary to its more western/swing/jazzy counterpart, this is a more positive and lighthearted song, both instrumentally and thematically. The single guitar intro of the song gave birth to the rest of this experimental rascal of a rock song and just like “Pt. 1”, this one too evolved into what it is now as the song progressed taking form into this jolly rocky folk ambient piece of music.
Thematically (and lyrically) it is overly simplistic, because it simply didn’t need to be more. It’s about overcoming the negative side of yourself, finding peace with yourself, as what and who you are and that you either try and work with the cards you’ve been dealt in this life or you succumb to your own constant frustration, ultimately surrendering to your own unwanted existence or you start from scratch, rebuilding yourself from the ground up again and try anew. Because it is possible to do so! Always remember that. Enjoy.

Lyrics:
At peace with your mind
Can you take it?
Amputate it

Such Is Life (Pt. 2)

This dally scamp of a western-ish song started as just a couple of chords and an old melody I wrote some years ago, that slowly evolved into this curiosity, when I finally decided to record what you now hear. 
It’s a pretty simplistic song in its instrumental execution, but is dealing with some rather personal topics like inner confusion, escapism, doubt, isolation and the pull of abusing substances. It’s definitely one of my more moody and intimate songs, but it’s also something fresh and honest, maybe even relatable! Let me know if it is and if you want to let me know. Thanks, and enjoy.

Lyrics:
This can't be healthy
The solitude and fear
Everlasting stream of thoughts
Not concluding anything here

Only furthering a doubt
Of ever being with someone 
What have I done wrong exactly?

I can't get myself (help)
Clarity's non-existent
I do not get myself (at all)

How easy it is to whine
About one's own situation
So sweet it would be
To just pull the plug

Please pour me that wine
And pass me that high
Close the door and say: 
"Such is life..."

Such Is Life (Pt. 1)
