Limited run of 200 pressed CDs in a 4-panel sleeve.
Ten tracks make up Explore. Frigid landscapes are given an audio voice. Sparseness and the unnoticed are turned to by Tømmervåg, the natural landscape of his cold and rugged homeland being the inspiration for this album. Milky suns dawn, ice clad trees rustle, snow creaks and stillness dominates in a collection which concentrates on introspection through outward observation. A journey into the sparkling tundra with Mind over MIDI as your guide.

In memory of Helge Tømmervåg (1961-2023)
Ambient music for daydreamers and nighthinkers, inspired by nature.
If you can picture the very furthest, coldest, darkest part of Norway, that's where Mind over MIDI resided. If you want to get an idea of what it's like there, and can do without the frostbite, then this is the perfect solution.
Produce sweeping, icy synthscapes, with digital snowflakes.
