Den bløde lænestol

Hviledag: »Album Found«

Hviledag (Anton Friisgaard) har muligvis lanceret en ny elektro-akustisk genre »silence«, idet ambiente elektroniske flader flettes sammen med mekaniske optagelser og tilsammen skaber et lydtapet, som er det omvendte af noise.

De ni tracks bevæger sig ubesværet fra et til det næste, og til tider sendes tankerne i retning af en støvet pickup, som hviler på sin vante plads. Sandsynligvis fordi de er indspillet med to spolebåndsoptagere med hovederne mod hinanden med en båndsløjfe (fysisk loop), der kører imellem dem og muliggør løbende optagelse.

Tekniske detaljer er vigtige, fordi analoge indspilninger og fravalget af overproduktion er en lise for øret i en tid, hvor wall of sound kombineres med et digitalt resultat, der er så finpudset, at lyden bliver kold og detaljeløs. Pausen er central på »Trancient Bodies«, der roligt skifter imellem korte intervaller af keys på en base af blød knitren og den hvide støj i sig selv, imens et nummer som »Enveloping« er én lang gentagelse af et kort melodistykke.

Album Found er den tiltrængte slidte og bløde lænestol, man sætter sig tilrette i efter en lang dag med mennesker, trafik, digitale apparater og deres lyde. En ren fornøjelse.

»To me, music is love. I love how music allows you to skip the small talk and connect directly with people’s innermost selves. It is an extraordinary and moving way to meet one another.«

Fenja wrote her first song at the age of twelve – about a polar bear dying due to climate change – and themes of existentialism, nature, and her own sensitive nature came to define the lyrics and sound she has since developed. She released her debut album, Flugtdyr, in 2021, and in February 2026, she released the album Menneskedyr.

On Wednesday, 5 August 2026, it happened again: a chord in John Cage’s Organ2/ASLSP (As Slow as Possible) changed after two and a half years. Classic FM reports.

The work was written by the American avant-garde composer John Cage in the mid-1980s. The score consists of eight pages of music, and, as the title suggests, the instruction is to play it »as slow as possible.«
