Following on from Dopamine, his well-received official AnalogueTrash debut, Bjørn Felle gets up close and personal on the lyrically and sonically deep Theory of Mind.

Says Bjørn, “Theory of Mind is a portrayal of this broken form of empathy, which can be used to get inside another person's head, but not to truly care about them. Lyrically I approached this as a moment of change, where the emotional mode of connection is deprecated in favour of a purely cognitive function.”

“What follows is a brute force attack, like using what you know about someone to guess their passwords. There's this notion of freedom, like the part of the programming that makes you feel shame is just redundant now, since you don't have to experience what the other person feels.”

Bjørn approached the arrangement and sound of Theory of Mind with these concepts in mind. “Sonically I was aiming overall for a hollow, cavernous feel. I filled the cave with layers of arpeggiated synths and skippy percussion in an inconsistent rhythmic structure, all repeating in loops, like the iterative process of breaking down another person's psyche from the outside in.”
