Ontology of Silence is the third and final album in my Interiors trilogy. It explores silence, introspection, and inner presence through sparse electronic textures, gentle tonal fragments, and slow-unfolding atmospheres. The music invites a quiet, focused listening space — where silence is not absence, but a subtle, resonant form of expression.
Unseen Topographies is the second album in Kjetil Husebø’s Interiors trilogy. Exploring light, perception, and hidden inner maps, the music unfolds in luminous, spacious layers that suggest landscapes we can sense but never fully see. Built with synthesizers, samplers, and electronics, it creates an auditory terrain that is both subtle and expansive.
This album opens the Interiors trilogy with dark ambient textures, built from flickering layers, resonant tones, and unstable echoes of memory. It weaves together dark ambient, electroacoustic, and experimental elements to create an immersive journey through fragile atmospheres and ever-shifting sonic landscapes.
The title Oscillations of Memory refers to how memories are never stable, but always in motion. The word oscillations means swings, pendulums, or vibrations — movements back and forth that never settle into a fixed point. Memory works in much the same way: it shifts in form and intensity, vivid and near in one moment, dissolved or distant in the next.
At the same time, the title points toward the musical tools I use. In synthesizers, oscillators are the very core — generating waves and frequencies that form the basis of sound and texture. In Oscillations of Memory, these two perspectives meet: the unstable, living movements of memory, and the electronic oscillators that create the raw material of sound. The music thus becomes an image of both the fragility of memory and the perpetual oscillations of synthesis.

This fall, I’m releasing Interiors — a trilogy of three new solo albums. These works are deeply personal explorations of the inner world, moving through themes of darkness and memory (Oscillations of Memory), light and perception (Unseen Topographies), and silence and introspection (Ontology of Silence).
“With Interiors, I wanted to explore the inner realm through sound. Setting the piano aside allowed me to work exclusively with synthesizers, samplers, and electronics, opening up a new sonic landscape. Instead of following traditional tonal or rhythmic structures, the music became about texture, movement, and unfolding — about creating spaces that breathe and shift over time.
Each album focuses on a distinct emotional or perceptual state: Oscillations of Memory delves into darkness and memory, Unseen Topographies explores light and perception, and Ontology of Silence turns inward toward stillness. Together, they form a sonic journey” — Kjetil Husebø
Oscillations of Memory comes out September 5, Unseen Topographies on October 3, and Ontology of Silence on November 7.
