Hello. Welcome to my website. I am Carsten and Njordlyd is my music project. 
The music I make is very ambient and atmospheric inspired, but to be honest with you, I honestly do not fully know what it is, besides something that enables the listeners to hear it, and notice or become aware of something, through the senses. A sort of sensory experience where the “something” can be almost anything. I suggest to listen to it in order to better understand what I mean.

Update 4th of March 2022: "Clouds" is now available in most digital music stores and streaming platforms, including (but not limited to) Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Amazon, Bandcamp, Deezer, etc.

​Use the "landing page" above to listen to a short clip and chose from a list of selected streaming services, to listen to the whole track.​

Update 10th of March 2022: As mentioned earlier mentioned, "Clouds" is the 5th and last track from Phase 1 (From April to April). Njordlyd is currently working on writing up a conclusion for Phase 1, entitled "From April to April", and compiling the tracks from the Phase.

Update Ambient soundscapes tend to rank highly for positive and energetic qualities, such as pieces composed by Njordlyd are most likely to encourage creative thinking. Combining music with meditation can deepen the positive effects on your mind and body greatly reducing stress.

Latest news 4th of March 2022

New track "Voices" is out now ​

“Clouds” is the 5th and last release from Phase 1 (April 2021 to April 2022). As such it is a continuation of the story from the last release “voices”, which in short was about triggers and input. These triggers and inputs are somehow a natural part of the creation process and way of working, when I am making music. It is a kind of “amorphous” process without any fixed “shape” or “form”, a process which is more a flow than something “structured”. Of course, I am doing this based on a plan and with a set of goals in mind. However, the actual moment, when I am working on music, is a process that constantly changes and evolves, a bit like when watching clouds in the sky. Clouds take on many shapes, and those shapes changes when they roll across the sky. When I am working with music, there are also moments with many shapes (e.g. ideas) that change over time (during the process) and end with a “snapshot” of the moment when the track is ready, like a snapshot of a cloud.
​
The track itself starts with a dark undertone, but also with some lighter tones on top (which could be hope, but is maybe more reflection). It then goes into a more “practical” atmosphere, maybe manual labour and then ends with a sort of sensation of “something” being finished or ….. closure.​

While working on this track, I had my mind set towards “amorphous” or “formations” as a track name. However, in the final phase of completing the track and preparing for the release, the word and sensation of “clouds” constantly came to my mind. In the end I chose “clouds” - It just feels right and reflects my music and way of working a lot. Clouds never float in the same way or pattern and they change endlessly from one second to another, like my mind.
