"Constructionsite Nighttime Bliss" - TheOnlyAre π« - On my way home from our local #pub, this #view caught my #eye. I never considered a #constructionsite as a good #photo #opportunity, but what do I know? Somehow, the unfinished #blockofflats, the #ledlights, and the #norwegian #nighttime #summersky all #merged into a great #picture. I'll never say never again, I'll just keep my eyes peeled instead, yeah? - #TheOnlyAre #photography #igers #trondheim #norwaywild #norge #random #bliss
"The Bumbleblossom" - TheOnlyAre π« - A snap from last #summer - I caught this #bumblebee emptying every #petal for #nectar - a couple of seconds on each was all it took him - I was struggling to keep up and get a descent shot, but got a few. Here, he's going #deep, almost to the point of looking like part of the #flower itself. What a worker, though. Not a seconds rest, body full of #pollen - ready to take some - and probably leave some of it too. Thats the way #nature works. We need #bumbles -nature needs'em too. Just be nice to them, ok? #bumbleblossom #photography #trondheim #norway #theonlyare #arefrodehofflyngmo

"Doodle of the Year" - TheOnlyAre (Ink on paper-notebook doodle) - So, Yesterday, I sat down to try finishing the lyrics I needed for one of my songs. I felt good about it and had an idea to pursue. Let's just say I was inspired. 3 hours later ... this abstract doodle was the result. π The song title is under the Ink there somewhere, I managed that at least before I started doodling. Story of my life, in school, at work, anywhere. I've always doodled. Since I'm adhd, I hyperfocus when I really get into some task or random point of interest. To the extremes sometimes. Or, if the task or random activity doesn't really interest me all that much ... my mind drifts into doing something like this. At work, this can be sort of a negative quality - as an independent artist, it's all good. It's part of who I am. I never knew the result beforehand. No plan, just random artwork. When you've hyperfocused for 3 hours, it's because you enjoy what you're doing. Isn't that what life is all about? Enjoying it? The song will be finished, and in the meantime, I'll enjoy my doodle of the year for now. Because I can, because it's in my notebook. I made this! πβοΈ - TheOnlyAre - #doodle #abstract #music #lyrics #drawing #artist #art #artwork #random #theonlyare #ink #notebook #paper #fire #lit #trondheim #norwaywild

'A Summer' - TheOnlyAre - #Summer has been #good to me this year A relative #harmony has somehow snuck into #life - I should've known, I've been asking for it - and now that it's here I'm baffled and totally unprepared - I know how to cope with rough times - I've had my share and of course I expect some of that in the future as well - but how do I handle this feeling of happiness and the mental surplus that autogenerates when you get your valuable #rest and have a meaningful #existence? You tell me, so far I'm just enjoying every minute of the #peace & stability I've been wanting for so long. I breathe - I see - I learn & I'm truly #grateful for #receiving, being alive taking care of myself & still kicking right now. I feel safe knowing that problems are not part of life any longer. There will be (what I now call) challenges to overcome, it should be, it's all part of the balance of good and bad. It's my outlook on life & being human that has changed. After years of not having been properly connected to the who and the human I am, finally, I am in me again getting to know myself properly. I'm back. Not scared of my own #fears and imperfections. I #accept them as #constants, and that makes me in charge. It's up to me how much #space they can have. I see them as mere #tools now My #fightmode #triggers if I need to fight life again. - "I'm in #control over my #Ship It matters not how straight the #gate How charged with #punishment the #scroll I'm the #master of my #fate I'm the #Captain of my #soul" - I have the freedom to choose - I don't HAVE to do anything in life - however there are quite a few things I SHOULD do It's all good - take care until next time βοΈπ - #TheOnlyAre (We need to talk about #mentalhealh in general, let people them selves tell their stories, don't ever judge, instead try seeing every such experience as education, information, a chance to ask questions, being there for someone in need, being human, being helpful and caring. Help debunk the myths, taboos and stereotypes people who struggle with any such illness get - on top of the pain, fear, frustration, confusion and often lack of proper help anyone struggling should have)
'By the fire' - TheOnlyAre - Just spending an #evening with #friendly #people sitting by the #fire talking about nothing, anything and everything - #laughter more often than more sinister #moods. Your #spirit falls into place like a soft snowfall midwinter and your mind rests while your eyes can't resist staring into those #irresistible #flames #dancing throwing shadows in everyones faces. #Summer slowly shortening it's days, but it's still warm. Darkness starts nibbling at the day, and evenings are well spent in the moving #light of burning wood. When only the #ember remains it's time to go home - at ease - at #peace and with the #balance of knowing your #pillow will smell of #bonfire in the morning βοΈ - #theonlyare

'Norway Wild' - TheOnlyAre Rauma i Romsdal - I just think it's a great view. And with the first snow sprinkles this fall, on top of the mountains, it becomes a scenery with sugar on top, yeah? I posted a similar picture about a year ago from the same spot, it's on our property actually, the now electric railroad passes through on its way to and from Γ ndalsnes. The railroad tracks always gives me the urge to travel. What lays behind those beautiful mountains? I wanna go, I want to find out. The passion for adventure is strong in me, I guess. A taste of Norway Wild for you.

'Romsdal - Rauma' - TheOnlyAre π« - Spending some time in Romsdal helping out restauring a very old house. In the nick of time, it was about to collapse completely. The ground floor had no floor, and the bearings where rotting away. My job is to see too the drainage issue. Which means a lot of digging, and a lot of rocks and mud. Plus sore back and arm muscles obviously, I don't dig ditches on a daily basis, no wonder. It's all good though, I need a workout. Makes me kind of happy, the house has been in our family for generations, it was built in 1735 and now maybe a few generations more can enjoy it. And the scenery? Well, you can see for yourself.. it's magic!

'NeutronStarBars' - TheOnlyAre - New Single out now on Bandlab.com & SoundCloud.com ! - The title track of my upcoming album, "NeutronStarBars" is done. So is the rest of the album, yay! π Now, it's down to my studio work. Mixing, cleaning, probably adding(or removing) some parts and finally mastering and distribution. Then there's the boring office work. A&R, publishing on all platforms, promoting etc. As long as it's for the purpose of finishing up a very personal and massive project of mine, this very one, I'll do my very best in that department too. It's my music .. it's what becomes when I get behind the drums, or play a little bass, keys or guitar .. maybe singing. Or put me in front of a looper. I'll go on for hours if it's a good session. It's contemporary music, my references comes from all over the musical map, and from practising different instruments. The biggest challenge for me now is to learn how to play my built in windpipe, my voice. I'm singing on a couple of songs, and where drums have become a dear friend I'm slowly mastering how to play, with the natural confidence that comes with it, my singing is what makes me doubt some of my stuff. Still, it's my voice and my music. They kind of fit together in some way and confidence grows for every new attempt. So, I hope you enjoy my new single. It's rock, it's dub, it's hip-hop, it's a dash Latin. Probably some SΓ¦verud and Grieg or hardingfele in there also. And Abba. They had a killer rythm section. It's a musical collage, built on a drumtrack I taped while rehearsing. - #new #music #electronica #rock #theonlyare #producer of #dub #neutronstarbars #contemperary #improv #soundscape #lesscowbellmoregroove #artist #bandlab #bandlabcommunity #soundcloud #delay #drums #drummer #beats #bars #beatmaker #songwriter #coverart #alternative #jazz #hiphop #trondheim #norge #arefrodehofflyngmo All rights reserved Are-Frode Hoff-Lyngmo 2022

'Punx IntroBars' - TheOnlyAre #Introtrack on my #upcoming #album #neutronstarbars - "Give me #patience and I will stand by your side .. always!" Those 11 #words is the key to my latest creation - the #dub song "Punx IntroBars". I've decided this #track will be the opening introduction song on my album NeutronStarBars. Another couple of #songs to finish and the album will be reality. Been an inspired boy lately - life makes the weirdest turns sometimes - and when it happens I've started flipping that coin until I find the #upside of every #event. I have to, there is always some lesson to be learnt or some controversy to deal with. Drama has no place in my life anymore, and it's like every other #skill I try to #master - some takes a lot of #practice mastering, and every event demands some form of #outlet for the creative #flow that I construct in my mind I'm lucky enough to be able to express #feelings and worries or good #moments or #epiphanies in several different #artforms and also various combinations of artforms An outlet like #music is so powerful and takes a lot of strength and stamina for me to finish even one song.. so an entire album is a major #milestone for me. The intro expresses my gratitude to the most wonderful person in my life. This human has been so generous in being patient with me, that I actually feel I've been given a real chance to get to now a person I know will make a big positive shift in my life .. it's already bringing me clues of where to go in my art and general outlook on life. Thank you! I will be by your side always π₯° #theonlyare

'CoverArt' - TheOnlyAre Portfolio 2022 - #coverart for a #new #single I'm about to finish - the #picture is a #detail from a #wall #painting i did in my #studio when the #war in #ukraine started - the painting is still there but looks different now - I promised I would paint a little (or a lot) every day the war continued. Unfortunately it's still an ongoing disaster and it still makes me just as angry and sad as that first day. I take pictures of it to document the different stages of the process - it's my way of protesting and making it into CoverArt for a song I'm doing about toxic relations seems logical and a good way of distributing the picture on different music platforms online and here on #instagram It's what I can do - we have to show the aggressor that it's not ok. The worst we can do at this stage of the conflict is to become indifferent - remember to not forget the innocent that are murdered every day - #freedom for Ukraine! #artagainstwar #protest #artist #theonlyare #picoftheday #music #toxicity #toxicrelationships #trondheim #norge #norway

'Something Lurking/Sinister Dub' - TheOnlyAre - I just officially released this music piece on SoundCloud. I do everything myself, not because I don't like what other people do, or don't trust others to perform as good as or better than me, but because I can. For now. It's a lot of work, from the first spark of an idea, then holding on to and developing that spark into a written project description without losing the 'freshness' of it, that means no shortcuts, they tend to lead you into old habits and things already done, so spending the time necessary to make something unique you'll still stand for and be proud of in ten years time is an absolute must. That means taking breaks, leaving it for a week or even worse, the "midway in the project realising it's never gonna happen cos it was a crap disaster idea". Which is a good thing. But that insight takes time and some distance to your own idea. I've done this a long time now, and that wisdom comes from failing monumentally over and over again. In the end you adapt and change your ways. If not, you stagnate, lose all confidence and disappear into thin air. I know that feeling, see .. it hurts π€ So, composing, playing, recording, producing, making CoverArt, maybe a video, releasing, distributing and promoting all becomes your job. Then there's your ownership rights, to the music, merch, art and if you do gigs you want to be paid. Pheew! The pictures show some of the parts I chose in the creative process of making the projects CoverArt A camera, a blue IKEA bag, a tablecurlingboard target, add a lot of editing and there you go. It took me the best part of a day that. I know nothing really, but I'm still learning, that's the key to success someone told me. And keep it simple if you can. That is my advice. - https://soundcloud.app.goo.gl/ajzPA (No #ai's feelings were hurt during the #live #performance and #recording of this #song) #theonlyare #chainsawensemble #new #music #release #ny #norsk musikk #dub #dubster #dubstar electronica #artist #beatmaker #drummer #producer of #contemperary #electronicart #coverart by #arefrodehofflyngmo #trondheim #ranheim 2022 All rights reserved

'MyOffice' - π· by a #friend - So, this is where I #work - not this particular place or time - but that's the point - anywhere there's a #photo #opportunity or a #creative #spark igniting the idea for a #song , a #painting or a lyrical creation to be found - that's my #office - It can be cold as the North pole or hot as hell - and I certainly won't be either rich nor famous from it - but I love doing it - it keeps me as balanced and #levelheaded as I can be, and I'm as unchained from the (for me) depressive 'normality' society claims is the only true way of life .. as possible I've tried their way, but wasn't #happy - And I'm not the best at compromising so there it is.

'Inbetween Trees' - TheonlyAre - The #magic of #opticalillusions might be an acquired taste for some .. as a child I didn't like the #dark but wasn't afraid of it. It made me curious about the power of #light and how objects appear different when light fades or change direction... Like people long before me .. and before science came around, people told stories about #scary #forests and creatures .. trees coming alive - #trolls - unicorns - #elves (and many more) were created - #people need an explanation when they don't understand - they did a good job, all of the above mentioned #fantasy #creatures and events are still around and kicking - despite #science It's a good example of how people in need create an explanation to communicate to fellow men how #scared or #excited they were. A horse with a long spear coming out of its forehead? Even I would be scared if I didn't know. That's why there are no #fairytales of #fear or #anxiety. Trolls and #unicorns wins new #hearts every day and every time an old story is read or told again, because we imagine them ourselves to our liking - my unicorn isn't pink at all - it's just a #horse π with a #whales #spear - why not? Yours may be pink and have spots - that's the beauty of it all - anything goes Science explained why and how these bad feelings are a part of being #human, but still .. it's a bit #clinical and gives little or no room for that personal touch of interpretation I prefer a well made up and #fantastic #story any day .. just #imagine .. what you could find #inbeetwen #trees .. #theonlyare
