Valhjim

Shimmering bells turn slowly in the firmament, their tones panning left and right like twin orbits of sound. Distant church bells toll as an electric guitar opens the path to a quieter realm, where smooth woodwinds and soft string textures linger in serene skies.

A violin motif plays above it all and descends in near-chromatic motion, its path echoed by faint afterglow textures before the guitar and saxophone engage in gentle dialogue.

Three solitary metallic notes usher the passage to light: a bright, bell-like riff answered by two choirs singing slightly out of phase, their descent giving way to a sustained duet by a waving choir in blue textures. Above them, a female voice drifts in quiet harmony, while the violin returns to trace its final motif — seeking, at last, its true azimuth among the stars.

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.

These days, everything is recorded through my Mackie Onyx 8 analogue mixer.  I prefer to create sounds on my analogue synths but you'll also hear sounds created with my Korg Wavestate and Roland S-1.  All percussion/drums are played by me on my Native Instruments Maschine Mikro Mk3, where I spend a lot of time manipulating samples to hopefully get something original sounding.
