Beyond the Horizon...

Snow

Something new to share with you, and it’s a bit of a shift from my usual sound.
With my wife’s pregnancy, I found myself drawn to making more peaceful, ambient music—something calming for her, for our baby, and soon, for you. Instead of beats and samples, I’ve been working with real instruments (with piano and organ recorded in Bøler kirke in Oslo), field recordings from the Norwegian wilderness (thanks to my brother-in-law), and subtle white noise textures.
It’s different, but it feels right. Beginning by previewing tracks on Soundcloud, with a wider release on all the usual streaming platforms and Bandcamp later in the year. I’d love for you to hear it.

This track is based especially on can percussions hover which I played keyboard. Mind Palace refers to a mnemonic technique. This is probably the last track I share here from the album SOUL PULSE which combines singing bowls, tongue drums, custom percussions and electronics.

Envolée

Everything has always been here; perhaps it was only arranged differently.
Nothing has ever been lost, as in the moment it happened, it eternally shaped us.
"Otto Vite" (Eight Lives) delves into the mysterious permanence of love in the never-ending current of life. The Album seals frames of one's life story, in a mosaic built on metaphors, behaviours, memories, people, and gestures. The Record is structured in a way that each track films a discrete segment of life: describing an object, a person, or a feeling, and at the same time deepening a different connotation on the meaning of love, while remarking its foundation as the only permanent sublayer of an ever-changing world. The objective is to focus on the moment and its details, to understand that love is always before our eyes. And the rule is to mix things up, with the intention of putting them back together, in a configuration that makes us understand that we have always been. "Otto Vite" is an Album that, in some way, tributes the people who made me feel something, some kind of hope, a feeling of understanding, soft vibrations, those rare breathing moments in which our feet are grounded to earth, and we feel we are where we are meant to be.

BROKEN TAPES: XI-XV is the third and final EP. It is a collection of songs that have not made the cut on the new album.

MANIC OPTIMISM

I do think the ancients were very clever. They hid the secrets of their sacred sexual practises in beautiful poetic metaphors so they never had to put Explicit or Parental Advisory on their covers.  😉

This song was inspired by some lines by the Immortal Mothers,  as part of Taoist Tantric teachings, which describe how the female uses her breath to circulate elixirs throughout her body as a means to gain immortality. It's what alchemical classics call the living midnight ...when the medicine is produced. 


Tie up the tiger, let him sleep in his den,
Wild heart bound gentle, come home again.
Bridle the dragon, let the fire rise slow,
Pearl by pearl ...the elixir will grow.

Clear as the water, still as the stone,
Nature and mind return to their own.
Breathe like the valley, soft as the dawn,
Spirit and breath become one.


Tune the breath softly, gather it deep,
Into the golden crucible keep.
Stabilise spirit at the jade mountain gate,
Guard the pass silent, no room for fate.

Tiger rests, dragon coils,
Moonlight on still water, 
no more turmoil 
In the crucible 
the true self is born,
Jade pass guarded 
till everlasting morn.

Clear as the water, still as the stone,
Nature and mind return to their own.
Breathe like the valley, soft as the dawn,
Spirit and breath become one.

Clear as the water
still as the stone…
I am the valley
I am coming home.
