Interiør by Erik Mowinckel

Breton Cassette warmly presents release # 038
Interiør by Erik Mowinckel

The cover of Erik Mowinckel's newest release at Breton Cassette is originally a painting by Erik, showing a chair, a lit lamp, a table with some objects, and a ladder leaning against the wall.
The painting is a still life, a term that is used as a representation of dead or motionless objects, originated from the German word still leben, a quiet life.

The album's 7 tracks takes us through 7 different still lifes; through the perspective of one that examines position, composition, color of tone, atmosphere and surroundings.
Inside looking out,
or the other way around,
unintrusive,
with distance,
one room, different views, a day with an ending.

When listening through Interiør; an image of a closed down summerhouse came to mind.
Looking in through it`s glass windows, furniture covered up for the season, imagining how the quietness will spread upon everything that stands still.

---------------------------------------

Interiør was made in my home studio over a few months during late spring and early summer this year. I knew I wanted to use my own voice on the album, as well as a guitar borrowed from a friend, but the overall sound and framework of the album was unclear to me. As I kept working on the album I came across a photograph on my hard drive of a painting I made in 2015 depicting my apartment. This painting somehow resonated with the music I was making and made me think of how I usually create music as a form of solace, as an act of kindness initially aimed at myself but hopefully extended to others.
