Focal Point of a Scattered Mind

by Anders Jakobsen

supported by

Bruce Reinoso I love that music created with such a single voice focused process can be so melodic, rhythmic and grooving, fun to listen to and deep enough for deep listening. Favorite track: String.

about

Focal Point of a Scattered Mind refers to an underlying and maybe subconscious intension that is hard to keep in focus in an overwhelming, chaotic and scattered but intense cloud of consciousness.

This album has been created through improvised live sessions on a modular synth. Most of the tracks come from only one synth voice. Compared to my debut album «Virtual Outdoors», this method has given a more minimal and focused sound palette, while the compositions are more spontaneous and therefore more complex.

Like my previous album, this album tries to blur the lines between noisy and harmonious sounds.

After mainly doing DAW-time line based music production/programming, lacking mentionable skills with any conventional instrument, i wanted to explore how music technology could let me play electronic music in a more immediate way. This sent me down the rabbit hole of modular synthesis where i discovered generative, algorithmic sequencing methods. Although this takes away some of the control, the decisions made while recording feel just as honest and personal as carefully planned productions.
