Music relies on connections and relations to function. The music you love the most probably found its way to you from a friend, someone you trust, and not from a system that predicted you would like it.

"Taste" is the buzzword of the moment, but it doesn't really cover what you get from a human curator. Predictive engines are good at what they do, but they can't tell the stories we need in order to engage with music together. So we end up alone with our experiences, and it becomes a meaningless journey in an algorithmic hell of our own making. We need alternatives.

That is what I am trying to do with Chorus, the same way I try to with most of my projects around music: bring the human and social parts of it back into the digital space. It's free, and you can think of it as letterboxd crossed with a streaming service. Share the music you love on your profile with notes, follow your friends, and get their posts in a shared feed. If you have an Apple Music subscription you can connect it and stream full tracks right in the app.

Music is better with friends :)

As some of you might know, I also work as a developer and have my own digital design studio Continuous. Over there I've developed a new app called Chorus. There's a new way to share enjoy music with friends. Hope you like it :)

So I started working on a new album and decided to go about it the same way I did with my previous one, albeit a little more intentional this time.

Here's how it will work: instead of dropping singles on the big streaming platforms I will gradually upload tracks to the album as I finish them. The first one, Alting Er, is already up and ready. All you have to do is log in, grab the early access and you're good to go.

As I said, I did something similar with my previous album 1000 Billeder i Sekundet from last year, but I was still a little unsure about the model back then. However, as the music business keeps evolving in unforeseen ways, I really feel that the Age of The Platform is waning and that it's closer, more homegrown alternatives like this that will take its place.

Anyways, Alting Er is up on the release page and I hope you're ready to give it a spin. Let me know if you have questions or trouble getting it to work.

Until then, remember to enjoy life as best as you can.

All the best, Troels

The process of rolling out 1000 Billeder i Sekundet has begun. The full album will be out in all the usual places, excluding Spotify, on november 28th. Singles will drop every friday until then starting with Som Sommer which is out today.

If you've purchased the CD you will be able to listen to the album in it's entirety right now. Simply signup with the same email you used to purchase and go to the release page. If you run into any problems don't hesitate to reach out.

As my release of 1000 Billeder i Sekundet is nearing, I also feel increasingly anxious. Anxious that it won't be received well, that it will be misunderstood, that I am wasting my time. I guess it comes with the job, but I will never get used to that feeling of contraction after you've opened yourself to the process only to have the products of it be weighed and judged, or worse yet, ignored.

My forthcoming album 1000 Billeder i Sekundet is now available for preorder on CD. Why compact disc you might ask? Well it's by far the most sustainable music media format on pretty much all parameters, not least ecologically. The CO2 emission per unit is a fraction of both tape and vinyl.

Shipping to select countries on Nov 14th 2025
