The skies are grey, it seems summer has left us, and I am on my way to the Faeroe Islands with VETO.
I have thought a lot about the BLCK release lately. I have set the goal for myself that the material – in any form it’ll take – must be finished come august. This means that a release in late september, beginning of october is realistic.
I have had a hard time figuring out in what direction I wanted to go. I want the album to reflect both the straight up techno part of me and the part of me that is willing to put genre barriers aside and do work that is more experimental. As techno is a genre with a lot of dogmas and well-founded rules, it can be hard to find a path beween those two sides. I have turned to a lot of different artists and genres to look for inspiration and I am now much nearer to the finishing line than I thought I would be at this point.
I want to be proud of the end result. I don’t want to look back on it in six months and think that I could have done anything differently. I want BLCK to be simple in structure, but complex in soundcape. Excactly like I feel about WHT.
I’ll post artwork and tracklist here as soon as it is ready.
Sounds great! Can’t wait to hear the new album. Ofc it’s a must that you’re proud of the music you make. It makes a slight difference to listen to music you know the artist regrets having put out on the market.
WHT was amazing, and i’m looking forward to se you perform tracks from both records (hopefully) at your concert in Vega this November.

As much as I am looking forward to BLCK, I must say … take your time. I want it to be as wonderful as WHT. And since I only discovered WHT ten days ago, it’ll last me till the release no problem.
Any plans for an Amsterdam show?
