*200 copies limited edition* Self-released private press style LP from Jonas Torstensen, distributed by Discreet Music. Grainy and broken singer/songwriter music, one of the major highlights so far in what is already a rather astonishing discography! "This record is an attempt on doing an album of songs. I recorded it in the first half of 2025. I played all the instruments with varying luck. It’s quite different from what I wanted it to be, mostly because of my lack of technical skills, but I’m…

Chamber Music
Tip! Turin is a city of crumbing facades and fading surfaces. A memorial to regal splendour and industrial boom. Behind every door is a different world. Pass through a grand double-door in the southern part of the city into a quiet courtyard, through into a small room with a high ceiling and cracked white coving. The room holds a modest studio set up, everything laid out as if the occupant just left. It’s a workshop, littered with blank cassettes, sepia-tinted journals and unidentified family sc…

Raw, energetic, and unmistakably Andean. On the flip side, we find…
T h a l le
The thallus refers to a plant without roots or leaves: lichens, algae. A presence in the world that unfolds discreetly, like a tree covering or a blanket over the sea. t h a l l e is, for me, a subject of randomness and correlation. How do desynchronized elements form a harmonic whole? I can feel great joy in organizing the chaos of these materials, which, through tiny encounters, align in the same time. t h a l l e is also an exploration of vast temporalities, from the smooth time of organ piec…
