The Artist
Njordlyd is a Danish musician and producer of thoughtful and mellow musical landscapes, organic compositions, and harmonies, combined with experimental rhythms and microsounds. The best way to describe the very detailed, layered, and personal musical universe of Njordlyd is ambient and downtempo electronic music.
The Person
"creating music is when I feel I am who I am and where I can be who I am"
I started listening to music when I was around 11 and have been directly involved with music since 1991, where I was involved in several underground music projects, collaborations and releases. The period from 1998 and until the end of 2014 was a phase of self-discovery, where I was absorbed in the process of music creation, learning and focused on defining my sound.
Towards the end of 2014, I began making music as Njordlyd (my current project) with the EP Silent Echoes release in 2015 and the 2-track single Ghost Running in 2017. On the 2nd of April 2021 "Circles" was released.
My musical inspiration comes from artists such as Future Sound of London, Biosphere, Burial, Brian Eno, Harold Budd, Massive Attack, Portishead and Trentemøller (amongst others).'

The Name
Njord was the Norse god of the sea, sailing, fishing and fertility, and a name that I really like. “Lyd” means sound, so Njord is a kind of pseudonym, combined with what I do (music), which is related to sound, hence Njordlyd (Njord’s sound).
