Kjetil Husebø – Ontology of Silence

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.

Kjetil Husebø – Unseen Topographies

My new album Unseen Topographies.

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.
