Jens Sivertsen is a Drone Music studio project built on bowed strings, with violin, viola and cello recorded in long, single bow strokes and joined into continuous tones. Open strings and natural harmonics dominate, giving the sound a raw, resinous edge.
Each piece usually explores one tuning system, sometimes with strings retuned to pure intervals, which makes the chords ring with unusual clarity. The atmosphere sits between folk fiddle drones and contemporary minimalism. The rasp of the bow is part of the texture, and headphones bring out this tactile detail.
