With all our sensitivity and love for Helge's family, we are pleased to present the latest full length album "Sensitiv" that the Norwegian artist, composer and musician (Mind over MIDI) entrusted us to publish shortly before his passing.

Through a mesmerizing exploration of sensitivity's profound realm, Tømmervåg delves deep into the intricate emotions and experiences that define sensitive individuals. This album gracefully intertwines ambient, emotional, and reflective compositions, offering solace and understanding to those deeply in tune with the world around them.

Thematically inspired by sensitivity and its unique attributes, "Sensitiv" urges listeners to embrace their sensitivity as a strength, rather than a vulnerability. Tømmervåg skillfully guides the audience on a profound introspective quest, inviting them to reflect on the unmistakable signs of sensitivity: emotional intensity, compassion, vulnerability to criticism, feelings of isolation, heightened awareness of external stimuli, overthinking, intuition, and the struggle with fatigue and overwhelm.

Using the universal language of melody, Helge Tømmervåg captures the very essence of sensitivity, creating an empathetic canvas for listeners to relate and find comfort in. This album serves as a poignant reminder that sensitivity is not a weakness but a unique gift that allows individuals to perceive the world in a profound and meaningful way.

Helge Tømmervåg's ability to translate the intricacies of sensitivity into a symphony of sound is an awe-inspiring artistic achievement that will leave listeners touched, introspective, and with a profound appreciation for the beauty of sensitivity in all its forms. 

This album was released with the consent and invaluable help of Helge's family.

Despite everything, we still want to congratulate Helge for this wonderful work. He's watching us from above, and we raise a toast in his honor.

Narcoleptica @ temple chptr. 2 - 17/2/2024

Bea (@narcoleptica) explains:

"I had the great fortune of playing during the magical hour, starting in the daytime (which isn't very common), only to realize, at the end of the trance, that it was already night. The immersion was deep, and I can't recall details, only the sensation of having been in Temple and accessing other places, opening door after door of sounds, as in a dream. The arrangement of cushions on the floor of Espacio Perpendicular was very apt, allowing us to lie down with our eyes closed and finally see the music clearly, abruptly cutting off the continuous consumption of our energy that visual stimuli usually take. And yet, not ceasing to see beautiful images in our imagination. Many thanks to everyone who gathered there, and infinite thanks for inviting me to be part of something so special."

Deep into the absurd with Lou Drago.

Drone music without the professional boredom, Lou Drago is a Berlin-based artist whose selections can somehow reflect the deepness of what a great expanse of a ravine in the grand canyon might sound like at sunset - and further into the night.

How they do this is anyone's guess. To experience this first hand was a pleasure and highlight of our October edition, and other reason to check out their ambient, drone and experient series @transience-archive, and follow the sonic-seances created in collaboration with marum, infinity rug.

This week a great encounter thanks to TREVE network, we have the chance to have Sulk Rooms, pseudonym of Yorkshire based composer Thomas Ragsdale, the music of Sulk Rooms draws the link between euphoric electronica and smoke engulfed drones. 
Slow-morphing textures sequence and cascade, encapsulating intimate moments of colliding sound amongst fluttering arpeggios and transcending synth builds.

A predominant soundtrack artist included in many of Adam Curtis’ groundbreaking BBC documentaries as well as scoring BBC true crime series, Netflix features and Prada commercials, Sulk Rooms is part of Domino Publishing’s prestigious composer roster.

Atmospheric music for the head alongside the heart, Sulk Rooms' music captures spontaneous audio mirages and saturated imperfections within a crushing backdrop of low end and harmonic ferocity.
Electric soundscapes and rising techno map Sulk Rooms' universe where panoramic pulses fuel adrenaline charged synths to feelings of both wonder and unease.

“Sulk Rooms summons slow moving and portentous drones that feel both elemental and diffuse” - Wire Magazine
“Ephemeral, elusive and gloriously unsettling” - Electronic Sound Magazine
