  • “Dreaming” Featured in ‘Who is the Dreamer?’ – A Tribute to David Lynch

    I’m thrilled to share that my track “Dreaming”, from my latest EP, has been selected as track number 161 in the monumental Who is the Dreamer? tribute compilation, released by The Church of Noisy Goat.

    This extraordinary project is a sonic homage to the surreal and mysterious world of David Lynch, featuring a staggering 382 tracks from artists across the globe. Spanning genres such as Noise, Industrial, Ambient, Dark Ambient, Free Improvisation, and Alternative Music, the album immerses listeners in a dreamlike soundscape—echoing the haunting beauty and unsettling depths of Lynch’s cinematic universe.

    “Dreaming” was chosen to be part of this labyrinthine journey, embodying themes of blurred realities, subconscious echoes, and the thin veil between waking life and the unknown. Lynch’s work has always been a profound inspiration to me, and I’m honored to contribute to this sonic exploration of his legacy.

  • New EP, Dreaming by Jozeph

    You Flower – A song about a love that remains unfulfilled due to distance and life circumstances.

    Dreaming – A slightly unsettling dream, capturing the feeling of being in an uncertain place in life.

    Pain – It is what it is…

    Sand of Time – A reflection on time passing, life unfolding, the longing for my son, and the whispers of history carried away by the waves.

    These songs are my life.

  • Poetry of a Caroline by Frøya Montezino

    Frøya Montezino writes about domestic abuse, exploring its consequences and the darkness experienced by those affected. Putting these experiences into words is a challenging task, and Frøya has been working on these texts for a long time.

    This recording, along with an accompanying poetry book, marks the conclusion of her project.

  • Essaouira Ocean by Jozeph

    “Essaouira Ocean” is a tune inspired by the small fishing village on the Moroccan coast, just west of Marrakech.

    It’s a beautiful, chill place to visit and my go-to spot when I need a break after a big project or simply want to relax and recharge.

    This tune came to me after walking out onto the pier at the harbor early one morning. It was dark, and the wind was howling. It was so dark that I could barely see the waves—until, suddenly, a wave crashed over me. In that moment, I realized just how dangerous it was. If a wave had pulled me in, I might have been lost forever.

    Later, I recorded the soundscape of the harbor—the waves, the wind, and the seagulls. When I got home, I layered guitars and effects to capture the essence of the ocean and nature.

    Enjoy the listening:
