Tobias Hellkvist is a Swedish composer and sound artist, working mainly in the field of ambient, drone and electroacoustic music. The compositions that constitute ‘Forest Psalms’ originates from a collection of field recordings made during two trips to the United States in 2015 and 2016.
The album was slowly sculpted during 2016-2017 in Copenhagen, Denmark, where additional music was composed. In the opening track however, Hellkvist introduces snippets of an old piece hailing all the way back from when he first ventured into making minimal electroacoustic music about 15 years ago.
In ’Forest Psalms,’ Hellkvist explores awareness in different spaces, and the listening experience is designed to lead the audience into a state of mindfulness, total relaxation, and focus.
