"Omringad av mörker" changes between playfulness and aggression. This is a noise work, a duality between pain and joy, and it cuts like a light through darkness and questions established conceptions. Listening to Hjorten is as listening to a timeless force of willpower that never gives up. It is up to you if you want to raise the volume or cover your ears.
The music draws elements from improvisations of different treated sound sources. The result to be heard is sharp, distorted and effective. Also in the mix are more soothing and reduced noises and even some temporary rhythmic and pulsating divisions.
Hjorten comes from Uppsala, Sweden and belongs to a new generation of noise musicians. Previously he has release cd-r records under different aliases, available from his website.
