Falling through the Earth is the much awaited debut album from Stockholm based musician and producer Fredrik Ohr. Fredrik has a long background in classical piano and as a song writer, and that is highly evident in the subtle complexity underlying his music. Fredrik's physical and intellectual journeys through Asia and Buddhism are also very well felt in his music. Falling through the Earth offers a wonderful dreamy and fresh combination of North European atmospheres and textures interlaced with Asian influences, all dipped in 70s psychedelic delicate feel. Fredrik's music has special warmth of instrumental and vocal work springing forth from sophisticated layers of electronic sounds, glitches and breaks creating an enchanting combination. Aleph Zero invites you to take part in this wonderful musical journey.

Hi all,
Here's a short update:
The album is doing very well, it was chosen as one of the best albums of 2009 by Headphones Commute, and first reviews have been coming in. Here are some review excerpts:
"This is by no means a `simple' album. While it is readily accessible, the depth and breath of sounds is at times overwhelming... The elegance with which sound is manipulated and pushed forward is remarkable." - http://www.isratrance.com (Israel)
"Dreamy, glitchy ambient chillout. Fredrik Ohr has created one of the most individual sounding electronic albums that I have heard in a long time." - Morpheous Music / Electronic Music Mall (UK)
"Superb electronic waveforms are enhanced by shimmering textures that swell, making all the tracks vibrant while tuneful chimes add to the increasing glow. This album will leave a sacred trail whenever it's played." - Igloo Magazine (USA)
"The sound of this album... is lyrical, gentle, soft... That sound moves with a certain distinction... it deeply penetrates surrealism first and from that surrealism the delicate sounds arise - from this, maybe, [comes] its internal richness. ..this cocktail of the 70's psychedelia, friendly frosty atmosphere and oriental spices, is unique undoubtedly". [4/5 stars] - Psybient.net (Poland)
"A rich combination of Ambient, Chillout, IDM, Electronica, lounge and delicate breaks that contains some sort of innocent beauty, a naive optimistic charm of some kind... 'Falling through the Earth' holds a real sense of adventure. ... Genre-fusing at its finest." - Chillbase.org (Croatia)
"[The album] seems to bring together the worlds of modern classical, electro acoustic, post rock, glitch, ambient electronica, psy chill, spiritual and world music. Very unique, fresh and beautiful sound.." - Music and Happy Life (Finland)
"...this album merges into one... the story tells a real, magical tale with a wonderful plot. [Listeners] instinctively close their eyes and listen to a kaleidoscope of sounds, which through its lazy tempo allows such a precise interpretation." - Ashoka (Poland)
