Here’s something I’ve been quietly working on for the past 12 months. My first release under the moniker Sinne (Swedish for senses).
Last autumn I took a three-month leave from work to make an album. Wrote and recorded these nine tracks and then spent the spring/summer mixing them. That’s the short version anyway.
Stylistically this is somewhere between Ólafur Arnalds, Thom Yorke, Ulver and Nick Cave’s soundtrack work, maybe some of my old faves like Pink Floyd and Sigur Rós have sneaked in there as well. It’s cinematic and electronic combined.
I had a friend play trumpet on two tracks and another friend who mixed three of the tracks and mastered the album. The rest is me, including the vocals. I’m really proud of how the album turned out.
Hope some of you guys will like it!
p.s. I have plans and dreams of releasing this album officially later (thinking something beyond Bandcamp) but I wanted to share the album with all of you now. (Update April 2022: still looking for a label.) So consider this a semi-official release right now. Feel free to download it for free or pay what you want (please note that if this album gets a proper/physical release, I may have to take it down from my Bandcamp). Any and all money you decide to pay for the album will go straight to a charity called Finnish Natural Heritage Foundation (https://luonnonperintosaatio.fi/en/).
p.p.s. Gear-wise the album’s got a bunch of things: Subharmonicon (a lot of it), Machinedrum, Octatrack, Matriarch, DFAM, Peak, Lyra-8, Kawai K-200 piano, Ólafur Arnalds Chamber Evolutions, various Felt Instruments VSTs (Blisko, in particular), U-he Repro. (I’m probably forgetting something.)
Thank you for listening / feedback / support!
One more thing: Here’s what I envision to be the first single off the album. The video was created from archive material (and unlisted as of now).
congratulations! will listen properly -sounds amazing so far
