about

Januari har trettioen dagar (January has 31 days)

In early November 2021 I had started to form a project idea in my head - To record 31 bars of 4/4 at 100bpm (1 min 14 secs) everyday for 31 days throughout the month of January 2022. A sonic diary.

By late November, I began to be haunted by panic attacks. Instead of listening to my body I continued to push on with work, and everything else in life, like nothing was going on.

In the middle of December, a couple of days after I presented the idea to Tone Burst, the darkness swallowed me completely. I went into hibernation and shut the rest of the world out. No social media, no news and no creativity. I didn’t think this project would happen.

On the 31st of December I decided I would try to go through with the idea. I started to go outside again into public places, listening to the world around me through my mobile phone’s microphone.

What follows here are the processes I used to get back up on my feet.

It’s simple, it’s intense. It’s slow, it’s chaotic.
It’s tedious, it’s beautiful.
My hopes are that it is in someway a reflection of life.

The New Emphatic Stockholm, Sweden

What started as an sarcastic name of a pretended band for an album of bizarre love songs took root and have since stayed.

Guesses and impulses put together with simple gear, recorded and mixed on an iPhone/iPad at a kitchen table with a view. ... more
