Evil-minded

image

I’m on my way back to Copenhagen now, with a short stop-over in Malmö.

I was in a UN-school in Gothenburg today, introducing the WFP in a beautiful auditorium together with lovely Janerose Alvers who used to receive school meals from WFP when she was in school in Kenya. The spotlights were preventing me from seeing my audience well which would have been much nicer but I had a really good time anyway and they were really great.

Also, I received the most awkward of emails today. It was a person I met at a conference once who ‘just wanted to tell me’ how evil I am, based on his deep understanding of behavioral psychology and human interaction. I never interacted with this person more than at that one point and with one email confirming my contact details. True story.

So I took a very evil-looking picture and now somebody who met me more than once maybe could confirm this accusation? Or should I start worrying?

Not much time left of my trainride.. time for contemplation and James Blake.

Yellow Forests and Sound

image

I’m going to Gothenburg and I’m very happy to be sharing this trainride with my new headphones.

The frequencies that are audible for the human ear range between 20 and 20.000Hz, which is the excuse most headphone producers use for only covering that range of frequency response. However, what happens when you get hold of a pair of headphones that respond down to 5Hz, is that you can actually feel the music.

The pleasure of deep sound is a sweet priority of mine, and I’m on this train with my new love, Bersarin Quartett.

Bubbles

I just had very serious a soap-bubble fight with the best flatmate ever. Our floor is all wet and my hair is full of soap. The person who tells us that soap bubbles are for kids is asking to get attacked, there’s no such thing as being too old to play.

Bring on the weekend

I know it’s just tuesday, but Class Actress is releasing her new album today, and you want to know about that, right? She’s from Carpark Records, the same label that brings us the enchanting tunes of Toro y Moi, Beach House and Memory Tapes. The video for Weekend is a mix of collarbones, beautiful lingerie, peep-show styled soft porn and retro party. Happy beats & synths. Just what you need when dreaming about the weekend.

Class Actress – Weekend
Rapprocher (2011)

Performing under the moniker Class Actress, Elizabeth Harper’s latest album, Rapprocher, sounds a bit like what would happen if Dave Gahan, Oscar Wilde, and Madonna curled up together in the corner of a dark bar for some heartbreak-fueled debauchery. The follow-up to her 2010 EP, The Journal of Ardency, Rapprocher is an 11-song odyssey about the tumultuousness of the heart. It’s a lovelorn tale that’s dark and weary, with just enough synth to make it danceable. Lyrical sadness is skillfully applied to the disco beats and feel-good melodies scattered throughout the album.
