about

Originally released on relaxedMACHINERY in 2012, 'en seier' was my second full-length album and the first in which I started to feel a deeper connection to the work I was doing. It's predecessor "'espiritista' had always felt like a hodge-podge of unconnected snippets, and while I still love much of that album to this day, on 'en seier' I felt I was able to present a connected and unified work for the first time.

The choice of the album’s title, which translates from the Norwegian as "one victory" is two-fold. Firstly, it refers to the release of ‘espiritista’ the previous year. I had given up the thought of one day creating music that others might hear long ago. Coming to know many of the ambient musicians that inspire me – two of whom are featured on this new release – showed me that I could still chase the dream. ‘espiritista’ remains one of the great milestones in my life, as it marks the completion of that dream.

Mostly though, I chose ‘en seier’ as the title for this release because the phrase perfectly encapsulates my current philosophy on life. In April of 2006 at the age of 38, I suffered what I off-handedly refer to as a mild heart-attack. 22 years of smoking cigarettes, lousy diet and no exercise caught up with me in a big way and fundamentally shifted my perception. Today, nothing is taken for granted, there are no “givens” and every day that I wake up is One Victory.
