about

<<parentes>> acts as a sonic vessel to be filled with one's most precious memories - how this vessel can seem so delicate yet contain the weight of something larger than itself is a reminder of how the deepest impressions of beauty in this world come from the smallest of moments.

The debut solo recording from aldrin, Oslo based musician Øystein Dale Svendsen, is predated by over two decades of experience performing with ensembles such as Youth Pictures of Florence Henderson and Ben Leiper. As time has passed, band schedules have slowed and new experiences like fatherhood have come into the fold, Øystein has expanded the modalities of his creativity to explore an aural realm of his own.

The compositions on <<parentes>> are based around asynchronous looping and improvisation: utilizing guitar, synthesizer, dictaphone recordings and sample manipulation, Øystein crafts dense beds of texture with a feather-light touch allowing the listener to discover happy accidents that exist between each passing moment. Held within these patient compositions is the immense amount of love, uncertainty and nostalgia that becoming a parent has brought about.
