2x2x2 (vocal version)
2x2 is, in itself, a riddle. Two performers play a middle C, over and over, on the instrument of their own choice. The instrumental sound is extended through the use of live electronics, exploring repetition, variation, texture, counterpoint. Originally commissioned by Christian Tscherning...

DLB2305 three_four_maybe (composed 2020-21, recorded 2023) for 3 musicians: midi controllers, prepared piano, 24 solenoids, 3 LED panels When I was a child, before I started writing my own music, I used to write short stories. My poor handwriting made it difficult for others to read, and we…

encore
DLB2304 "I wrote "entrée / en mouvement / encore" back in 2016-17. The title reflects the starting idea for the piece, which was to reflect on the concert situation as some sort of ritual that has its entrance, which later generates movement and which keeps on moving after this energy has been...

in c minor
16 in c minor I never totally understood the attraction towards the c minor key in a lot of electronic music. But hey, I fall for that too sometimes. Just a Mutable Instruments Rings setting the tone for a party in a distopian future. A happy ending? --- about the album: Denmark, like most…

fosc
15 fosc The title means “dark” in Catalan. It is like the goth sister of the second track of the album, “four_part_drone”. Also featuring the Mutable Instruments Tides module. In a dizzier way though… --- about the album: Denmark, like most european countries, is currently on lockdown because of...
-
beskidt og roligt
14 beskidt og roligt The title means “dirty and quiet” in Danish (and it is a not-so-smart word play with the expression “stille og roligt”). But it is indeed dirty, and it is indeed quiet… for the most part. --- about the album: Denmark, like most european countries, is currently on lockdown...
-
piano chords
13 piano chords I wrote “YES FOR NO” for 3 soloists, symphony orchestra, electronics and light; all based on some strummed piano chords (playing inside the instrument) and the polyrhythms inside those chord frequencies. This is just me taking those samples out for a spin on the STS sampler by…

a bit wired
12 a bit wired There were not a lot of wires on this track. But it got a bit wired, or weird. --- about the album: Denmark, like most european countries, is currently on lockdown because of the COVID-19 pandemic. All this time indoors brought me to check into some archive recordings. Mostly,...

1825 Days
11 1825 days a very short op1 beat. Sample hint: how many years is 1825 days? --- about the album: Denmark, like most european countries, is currently on lockdown because of the COVID-19 pandemic. All this time indoors brought me to check into some archive recordings. Mostly, live-recordings and...

still there? (early demo)
10 still there? (early demo) February 2018: I was biking on my way back home passing the harbour by Refshalevej. There was snow all around. I stopped by, took the op-1 out and recorded the vocals for this song. I still love pop songs. This one might be rearranged into something bigger at some...

choir music
9 choir music If this were a tape, the “B-side” of the record would start with this track. A little choir music to start things up again. It is early in the morning and the tape speed is a bit wobbly, so the singers don’t sound much in tune. Performed on the op-1. --- about the album: Denmark…

sketch #2 (live Remix)
8 sketch #2 (live remix) Another live remix from the “travel light” EP (2018). Some samples from the original track are pitched down rather extremely and played back from the STS (Stereo Triggered Sample) module by 4ms. The two independent samplers trigger each other automatically after the…

sketch #1 (live Remix)
7 sketch #1 (live remix) This is a live remix of “sketch #1” from the EP “travel light” (2018) which I did on one take on the op1. I like to think of it like dreaming and floating on air, yet slowly rocking your body slightly back and forth. --- about the album: Denmark, like most european...

sweep dreams
6 sweep dreams I honestly don’t remember where I got that sound from. But you know: sweep dreams are made of this, who am I to disagree? --- about the album: Denmark, like most european countries, is currently on lockdown because of the COVID-19 pandemic. All this time indoors brought me to check...

eat your pills
5 eat your pills Please ignore the title, is the first thing that came into my mind. This is just an op1 beat you can dance to. Now: start going around in circles in that little room where you have been sitting for these last couple weeks. You are welcome to scream your lungs out or just randomly...

soundcloud Refshaleøen Tapes vol. I -> out on Bandcamp 4 (interlude_a) Just a 40 second interruption for disrupting purposes. Enjoy it while it lasts. --- about the album: Denmark, like most european countries, is currently on lockdown because of the COVID-19 pandemic. All this time indoors…

#32_mindf***_b
soundcloud Refshaleøen Tapes vol. I -> out on Bandcamp 3 #32_mindf***_b A wonky beat with some eurorack stuff and a Teenage Engineering PO-32. The PO-32 is a little drum machine that plays 16-step patterns. It is cool but everything ends up being music in 4/4. I found out that if I triggered it...

four_part_drone
Refshaleøen Tapes vol. I -> out on Bandcamp 2 four_part_drone This is a 10+ minute drone, perfect for staring at the walls. It features the Mutable Instruments Tides module: here used as an oscillator with 4 different variations, that can be multiples or subdivisions of its original frequency,...

heptagon II
Heptagon is a short electronic piece, in two movements, that is inspired in Else Marie Pade's tape music piece "syv cirkler" from 1958. It was premiered in a concert by the group Neko3 organised by "Moderne Mandag". All sounds were generated with a Make Noise "0Coast" semi-modular analog synth...
