A recording and visual practice sustained for over a decade.
Under the name ØLSTEN I write, produce, mix, and master my own music and work on other artists' records. Twelve full projects are public on Bandcamp, with a parallel video catalog of music visuals. This is not a hobby section. It is a decade of finishing ambitious work alone, on deadline, and putting it out, which is the same muscle the client work uses.
