“Flust Etterklang” is Haav’s adaptation of the Inge Weatherhead Breistein track “Flust” from his album Skogskammer. Original sound sources such as the layers of saxophone and modular synth stream into further reaches of abstract tone as a singular flow of sonic experience. Haav weaves in field recordings from metalic sculptures and the local coastal surroundings and slows them down so that even the noise of birds and water has the audio equivalent of an image slightly out of phase. The compound effect puts one in a mood of taking in the minute details of the environment around you and getting lost in its myriad details as interconnected phenomena of existence of which oneself is merely a part. The best ambient music has that effect of inducing a Zen-like state and Haav’s treatment of “Flust” and transforming it into “Flust Etterklang” has taken a fantastic cosmic jazz-like composition and given it a deeply impressionistic filter. Listen to “Flust Etterklang” on Spotify and follow Haav on Instagram.
