A Touch of Blue

It begins in a hush—hi-hats fluttering like breath, panning left to right, a sine wave murmuring beneath, and low sub-bass like the ground itself humming. Slowly, a chord in E minor stretches wide, holding space for blues guitar riffs to emerge—gritty, bright, unpolished. A woman’s voice joins in scat, answering and teasing the guitar, their voices winding around each other in a playful, smoky dance. The current shifts: a sequencer takes hold, steady and hypnotic, while a saxophone pours out phrases like thoughts half-formed. As the piece draws to a close, the scat returns—solo now—fleeting, alive, ending on a final jazz phrase. The first sounds reappear, softer this time, and drift quietly into silence.

Valhjim is a music composer with an eclectic approach to different genres: rock, pop, folk, New Age, and experimental electronic music. Greatly driven by imagination and poetic imagery, he combines multiple instrumental textures to fire the imagination of his listeners. 

His more experimental ambience and electronic music is built with layers of suggestive sound textures, rhythms, and melodic lines that stir the imagination into suggestive imagery and worlds unseen, true architectures of sound that open up limitless spaces to explore. Often Valhjim's melodies sail through genre thresholds, crossing over from one genre to another, from neo classcal to electronic, or from jazz to rock or new age.
