Salt & Silence began as a conversation with photographer Jonas Edvard Emil Raagaard about his book Sea Strange Places and the possibility of creating music that could exist alongside his photographs.

That conversation became a sounding board. Ideas shifted, new directions emerged, and the music gradually evolved into what it is today: a quiet, ambient soundscape that ebbs and flows like the sea itself. A piece of music shaped as much by stillness as by movement, by what is heard and what remains just beyond reach.

The book opens a space between documentation and dream. The photographs are accompanied by a sensitivity to the sea's dual nature: as a giver of life and an abyss, as beauty and danger.

Sea Strange Places is published by Forlaget Aftryk.

I highly recommend following Jonas Edvard Emil Raagaard on Instagram and spending some time with his extraordinary photographs. Perhaps with the music playing in the background, allowing the two to meet in their own way.

Salt & Silence is released in two versions. With and without the sound of the sea.

Listen to Salt & Silence on Bandcamp, Spotify or Apple Music or wherever you find your to music.
