Jakob Karlsen is a Drone Music studio project that places ambient electronics in a subterranean setting. Deep sub-bass tones, reverbs modelled on large caverns and the slow drip of processed water recordings create a dark, enclosed space.
Events are few and spaced far apart: a filtered swell, a distant metallic sound, a gradual brightening of the upper layers. The atmosphere is cavernous and still rather than threatening. The music is effective late at night through headphones, where the reverb tails can be followed to their end, or on speakers with enough low-end response to reproduce the sub-bass.
