DJ Marten Hørger has released a new single that transforms the tedium of daily life into sonic material, part of a collaborative project called "Feel your glo" initiated by the lifestyle brand glo earlier this year. The track marks Hørger's contribution to a creative relay involving three artists working across different disciplines.
The project pairs Hørger with illustrator Danii Pollehn and fashion designer Marcel Ostertag. Rather than create in isolation, the three artists pass their work sequentially, each building on the previous creator's output. Hørger's single opens the relay, using electronic production and field recordings to extract musicality from quotidian moments. The track invites listeners to find inspiration in the routines typically dismissed as background noise—a commute, the hum of urban spaces, the rhythm of repetition.
This approach reflects a broader trend in contemporary music where producers interrogate the sonic landscape of ordinary experience. Artists like William Basinski, Alva Noto, and Oneohtrix Point Never have built careers on this premise, treating the overlooked frequencies of daily life as raw material. Hørger's contribution suggests similar intent, asking what happens when you listen closely to what surrounds you.
The "Feel your glo" framework specifically encourages participants to locate creative momentum within monotony rather than escape it. By framing the mundane as generative rather than deadening, the project pushes back against the romanticization of inspiration as something that arrives externally. Instead, it insists that novelty and creative energy exist within reach, embedded in the ordinary.
Once Hørger completes his leg of the relay, Pollehn and Ostertag will respond to his work with their own creations, building a collaborative object that synthesizes music, visual art, and fashion design. The project tests whether constraint and dialogue between disciplines can produce something more interesting than solitary work.
