øjeRum
Good morning.
Today we’re listening to øjeRum, a Danish musician and collage artist based in Copenhagen. The name øjeRum was picked by a random name generator.1 In his artwork and music, he embraces chance and eclectic assembly. “I think one could view all art and artistic creation as a sort of collage,” he told The Journal. “No matter the medium it can be seen as a matter of putting together objects, words, colors or sounds to create an expression.” We’re playing two of the 18 LPs øjeRum has released on streaming services since 2015. Cut Paper Flowers from this past June reflects the influences of Harold Budd and Brian Eno (he’s cited The Pearl as a significant inspiration).2 Forgotten Works from 2019 is similarly spare, wistful, and entrancing.

We wish you a great start to your week.
Curiously neutral high-frequency drones and bell-tones; I am not sure that I 'like' this material but appreciate exploring/hearing something new, and admittedly I have carried on higher-level tasks without being utterly distracted. For me, this is more 'Halloween-appropriate' than 'work appropriate' - but I also know I am an outlier in that respect.
wonderful artist
