about

A limited edition of 500 numbered 12" vinyls which I hand-painted together with my friends. My flat in Berlin was covered in vinyl. The EP features three tracks.

Up From Ocean features hawaiian steel guitars sliding to electronic waves sweeping in a sailing rhythm. Imagine waking up on a tropical island after a storm. Like getting back on your feet and enjoying life.


Disco Club features a human bass line that I was humming at 4 AM, on my way home from a night out. The track is mainly made up with my voice, including the vinyl scratch, the signature whistle, and the odd synth that is me blowing into a kazoo.

On Stronger Than This I used samples of a computer generated voice - a cyber woman. Her phrases are guiding commands and starts with "greetings welcome to the virtual command environment. I'm the artificial intelligence who'll be assisting you". The whole idea was to have a voice to guide me through my confusing love life which was all about mixed signals.

__________

There's a schizophrenic charm in the way Mortenson layers reverbed moans, giddy squeals, goofball catcalls, wiry pitch-bent steel guitar, 80s hiphop mouth bass, cartoon sound FX, and the whole of the kitchen sink. -Popmatters (US)

A full listening experience -DE:BUG (DE)

The finest Electrosoul. This is crazy groovy. -Intro (DE)
