Today\u2019s guest deejay is Henrik \u00d6hberg, AKA, Tv\u00e4rv\u00e4gen<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

I had the good fortune of meeting Henrik through Soundwave guest deejay Petter Lindhagen<\/a> (listen to Petter\u2019s mix here<\/a>). After each show, I ask my guests who they think would share a mix on Soundwave, and Petter highly recommended Henrik, which led me to listen to Henrik\u2019s music<\/a> for an evening. The experience was everything I had hoped, and I extended an invitation to Henrik, and here he is today with his delightful mix.<\/p>\n\n

Henrik\u2019s fifth and latest album A Great Circle Route<\/a><\/em> was released in January. The album was picked as New and Notable by the tastemakers at Bandcamp Daily<\/a>. While A Great Circle Route<\/em> owes a debt to Steve Reich<\/a>\u2019s American minimalism and the street compositions of Moondog<\/a>, those influences are distilled through Henrik\u2019s unique signature of soft, vaguely Nordic, melodic lines.<\/p>\n\n

Tv\u00e4rv\u00e4gen began as Henrik\u2019s experimental side hustle back in when he was part of the indie act Ironville<\/a> and hip hop duo Amok<\/a>. Soon enough, Tv\u00e4rv\u00e4gen was his main endeavor. Henrik\u2019s been dabbling with post-classical music for string quartet and ethereal soundscapes. His songs have been featured in numerous TV and radio shows, documentaries, news programs, children\u2019s shows, and more.<\/p>\n\n

Henrik has some words about today\u2019s mix below.<\/p>\n\n

Join us next week when our guest deejay will be Mike Lazarev<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

See you then.<\/p>\n\n

With these songs, I\u2019ve tried to capture a very subjective sense of physicality in sound, which I find highly appealing. No matter if the sounds\u2019 origins are of the real world or ethereal, I feel that they\u2019re present in the room at a scale 1:1, leaving breathing space whilst simultaneously reaching the outermost corners of the surroundings. It\u2019s music to touch and be touched by.<\/p>\n\n
