about

For the second time in the label the Danish artist Paw Grabowski aka øjeRum presents a reissue taken from his wide catalogue.
Stilhedens Strømmen I Fuglenes Blod (published as self-release in 2015) is a brave acoustic guitar suite, delicate and magnetic, recorded in a perfect balance between ambient and folk. The result is a spiritual and meditative flow where the listener can dive and let himself be lulled by repeating melodies, evocative small variations and a great hypnotic style. A little pure diamond for the genre that KrysaliSound is proud to publish.

"Stilhedens Strømmen I Fuglenes Blod is a 30-minute suite of haunting acoustic guitar motifs, gossamer textures, and percussive chimes as delicate as the hollow bones of a tiny bird.

A highly meditative piece, this is one of Grabowski’s most sparse, delicate, & beautiful works as he allows generous space around the clean guitar lines, bathing them in light filtered through the sheerest of veils."
- Stationary Travels

"A wonderful sort of experimental folk emerges on øjeRum’s thoughtful journey of “Stilhedens Strømmen I Fuglenes Blod”. Opting for a tremendous amount of space, the ambition of the album lies within the song’s deliberate pacing. Mysterious to its very core, the way various sounds filter in and out of the mix at times give it a truly fleeting feeling. By opting for such a loose approach, the entire piece gains a mantra-like quality to it, courtesy of the delicate guitar work [...] By letting things slow down øjeRum can explore every single moment of the sound and do it with the utmost of effectiveness. Building up carefully but never too loudly, an entire world comes into view, one that feels so vast and unknowable yet somehow familiar.

With “Stilhedens Strømmen I Fuglenes Blod” øjeRum delves into a blissful beautiful realm, one that feels soothing and satisfying."
- Beach Sloth

"STILHEDENS is a lush half hour suite of dimly lit delicate acoustic guitar motifs forming intricate semi repeating patterns, with touches of airy synth and muted melodies like a wind chime in the slightest of breezes - this is ØJERUM perfecting his singular ambient folk style and presenting it in ideal longform fashion."
- PSI LAB

"[...] Stilhedens Strømmen I Fuglenes Blod (“The Flow Of Silence In The Birds’ Blood”) [...] might be the best starting point one could have for the sonic world of øjeRum.

There’s a kind of a spiritual, even religious association that comes up in one’s mind when faced with decayed black and white film. One picks up on these associations especially in European and Japanese Art-House cinema, in which it’s the tissue of projected ancient tales and modern dreams. In a way it makes perfect sense that Grabowski is also a visual artist whose speciality happens to be handcut collages of gray-scale and sepia-toned imagery, because the emotional affect of his music is so strongly evocative in a dream-like way– gossamer sonic details compound to create faded scenes of shadowy forests. The slow arpeggios from the acoustic guitar endlessly repeating, muted field-recordings, rustles in the dark, distant bells…all these elements come straight out of an austere pastoral vision along the lines of a scene from Vampyr by Carl Dreyer. The beauty of decay– diffused to form a landscape. You’ll have to tune into this one if you are into field recording, drone folk, and the European side of minimal sounds, in the company of Andrew Chalk and Vikki Jackman."
