Invincible Summer by Jörgen Kjellgren

Jörgen Kjellgren is a music producer and copywriter who lives and makes his music in Stockholm, Sweden. His work explores sounds, layers, and moods, but also how the process affects the outcome.

"These tracks are a love letter to my wife and our family. It stems from memories of moments and feelings I've collected over a few years on our summer vacation travels throughout Sweden and southern Europe. The title Invincible Summer comes from a quote by Albert Camus." -JK

‘The Swedish composer Jörgen Kjellgren has been known to lead guided meditations, his deep vocal register its own form of binaural weighted blanket as he slowly guides listeners into calmness. His relaxed pacing belies his prolific output as an ambient artist, releasing nine EPs over the course of 2019. Invincible Summer captures the deliberate, unhurried pacing of his recorded meditations. Combining field recordings and the dense, digital warmth of his software synthesizers, Kjellgren slowly layers textural tracks. The effect is a sense of continuous upward movement, like the most soothing version of the Shepard tone. The songs were inspired by his travels with family around southern Europe, and tracks like “Cádiz” atmospherically reflect the golden radiance of its Andalucian namesake. But as with his meditation, the reverberating tones on Invincible Summer are engulfing even from shadier pastures.’
