Andreas Espenes
& SELAIM
Songs about life, thoughts and all that is difficult to say out loud.
I write all the lyrics myself. Andreas Espenes compiles the releases that are made with human producers and vocalists. SELAI is the artist project for the songs where I write the lyrics and shape the expression, while the instrumental and vocals are generated using AI.
Honest lyrics with emotion at the center
My songs often begin with a thought, a feeling, or a story that I want to put into words. It can be something close and personal, or something that many people can identify with.
For me, songwriting is about finding the words for what isn't always easy to say out loud. Then I shape the mood and musical direction so that the expression supports the story the lyrics tell.
Whether the instrumentals and vocals are created by humans or with the help of AI, the lyrics and story are the starting point. The goal is to create songs that hit home, tell a story, and stay with us a little after they're finished.
Some stories work best when they have a melody.
Text first
The words and story are often the starting point for the songs.
The phrase around the story
Mood, tempo, instrumentation and vocal expression should support what the text wants to convey.
Stories you can identify with
The songs draw inspiration from life, relationships, thoughts and moments.
My music
I write all the lyrics myself. The releases are divided between Andreas Espenes and SELAI according to how the instrumental and vocals are made.

From text
to song
Demo or finished song
The lyrics can be further developed with AI-generated instrumentals and vocals. If you would like human production and vocals, I can also explore the possibility through external collaborators.
Ask about alternatives →How it can work
You send a short description of what the song should be about, what occasion or mood you want, and any details that should be included. We then clarify whether you want just the lyrics, an AI-produced demo or finished song, or human production through external partners. Price, delivery, scope and any external costs are agreed in advance.
Do you have an idea, but are unsure which solution is right for you? Feel free to send me a non-binding inquiry.
