My newest album, "Mirage: An Architectural Sonic Experience" will be released on May 9, 2025 by ILK Music. 

All platform of digital release (spotify, apple music, etc): 
https://orcd.co/9da8ebe

“Mirage” is a radical meditation on sound, space, time, and materiality. It seeks to awaken our archaic, collective memory—our deep-seated connection to architecture and a playful relationship with sound and space, which has been lost due to modernization.

I deliberately recorded in architectural settings with long, immersive echoes—the Thorvaldsen Museum, the Brønshøj Water Tower, and the Grundtvig’s Church—transforming these landmarks into instruments. Acting as a “sound medium,” I allowed their natural acoustics to dictate the compositions. Rather than imposing predetermined music on these settings, their long, immersive echoes and reverberations formed the foundation of each piece.

Minimalism serves as the key for the album. A steady heartbeat rhythm, the oldest and most universal musical pulse, serves as a connective thread throughout the album.



This is a very special release for me. You can purchased the limited edition of the CD's via my brand new Bandcamp or via  ILK Music. The excerpts of the  film version of "Mirage" is going to be public in the upcoming weeks and month.  Please subscribe to my Youtube channel to hear and see the excerpts of the film. 


Below are stills from the film "Mirage: An Architectural Sonic Experience"- please stay tuned for the premiere of the film!
