Svartsinn from the yearning to create sad & dark atmospheric soundscapes that could satisfy the sombre chambers of every soul, to create moods and states of mind for everyone. It is the challenging journey to find dark atmospheres and moods through sad & dark soundscapes.

A journey into a world where darkness is all and nothing. It can be emotions, a mind struggle or the imagination taking a journey to a vast land of tall desolate mountains with caves and thick, dark forests shielding us from the light of day. In short, the darkness is all around us or inside each and everyone of us. It’s not the fear of it, it’s merely where we want to be, prosper in darkness…
