Sea by Night(2022)

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."
