XII by In The Absence of Words

Chapter XII is the final chapter at least for this series. When I started this project, the goal was to release new music every month for one year. Although there were a couple of months where I didn't meet this goal, I am glad to have released 12 months worth of music no less.

It is quite fitting, and completely unintentional in terms of timing, that the recording of Chapter XII concluded with a train journey across the country (from Stockholm to Malmö). This entire series has always been a journey of some sorts - leaving one place and arriving at another, whether it be spiritually, emotionally or physically. Chapter XII emphasises an ending and a beginning.

Throughout this journey, I had always hoped to create a soundscape and mood like the one here in this final chapter - again, this was unintentional.

Thank you and I hope it resonates with you.

I am a copywriter by day and humbled to work with words for a living. However, whether it’s a stark or dramatic landscape, the serenity and solitude of the forest, a connection with another human being, or the grief of losing one, sometimes it’s difficult to find the words.

IN THE ABSENCE OF WORDS is a project I’ve started as an outlet to express experiences and moods in other ways than words. The goal is to “chapters” on a monthly basis. With each chapter, the aim is to create a "story" based on a mood or feeling.
