Kjetil Husebø - Emerging Narratives (Optical Substance)



I might have mentioned my fondness for ambient jazz before, why there isn’t more of it keeps me up at night. So big thanks to Kjetil Husebø for his new addition to the canon, backed up by long time TSMM fave Arve Henriksen and the until now unfamiliar Eivind Aarset.


Husebø is chief electronics engineer and sets a deep space cinematic course covering a lot of territory; from distant sunlit gravity free floaters to tenser alien life form encounters and sub-woofer rumbling planetary docking sequences.


Just his electronic endeavours might have been enough to sell me on the LP but to seal the deal my favourite horn blowing Norwegian, Arve Henriksen is also in the cockpit blowing his already ambient honed horn across the soundtrack’s vast expanses. It’s a sweeping ambient tale, and I highly recommend beaming aboard for it.
