Sonic Dialogue:

"Aldrin is the moniker of Oslo based musician Øystein Dale Svendsen.His interest for manipulating sound started as he picked up a guitar for the first time in his youth, focusing on textures, eternal pads and happy accidents between sounds.After two decades of experience performing with ensembles such as Youth Pictures of Florence Henderson and Ben Leiper, band schedules have slowed and new life experiences led him to focus more on his own creative output. In 2021 he released his first collection of sounds in "parentes" on Folded Note Records ."

Artist statement by Aldrin:

"After The release of my first album (parentes, Folded Note Records, August 2021), I have been struggling to find a larger theme, technique or sound to build a new full length release around. Building loops and small pockets of compositions is, however, something I do as soon as I am able to sit down alone for a quiet moment in my closet turned studio space.

This is a small collection of these loops, tests and unfinished compositions that have lived on hard drives, iPhones and Raspberry PIs for the past few years. Things that have never materialized or felt like it was part of something structured enough to validate any existence outside of my own headphones.

It feels good to share while at the same time it is horrifying to open up my process like this, I guess I'm afraid that the transparency will expose all my shortages as an artist. But here I am, taking the plunge.

All tracks are dated on the date of recording, eg trackname_YYMMDD. All tracks are stereo recordings, no post processing or overdubs, just some slight editing to make longer recordings shorter."
