Latest Release | 24th of March 2023 | EP "Correlations"
|
“Correlations” is my second EP as Njordlyd. An EP consisting of 5 tracks that continues the industrial and dark ambient-styled music from the album “Getting Closer”. Most of the tracks on the album makes use of field recordings, transportation samples and samples in general. Moving vehicles such as trains, trams and metros (amongst others). Same goes for field recordings: water dripping, rain falling, breaking waves and birds. This EP is no exception. It continues the journey through stretched samples, field recordings and “reshaped” pieces of music and audio related content and creations. The main difference is: This EP is mainly based on “reshaping” of recorded live studio sessions from 2018 and 2019.
Correlation is a broader concept that goes beyond the album, but is interlinked. In 2018 I was stuck. Having created lots of music for years, but not completed and not releasing anything. A frustrating period of time in my life. In September that year, I was in need of a change, and started working with iPads and apps, just to see where that would take me in terms of creating and completing music. It started with setting up a small and minimal setup, which I practiced and learned to use well. A totally different way of working for me and much more experimental and improvised than what I was used to. It ended up being more like a live setup and over the course of a year (2018 to 2019) I recorded over a 100 live “sessions”. In the end I did not complete anything for release and went back to the more classic DAW approach. I naturally started reshaping tracks from before 2018, which led to the release of the 5 singles in 2021-22 (Phase One). I am still not sure why it turned out this way, but I am confident that it is linked to (correlating) the 2018 to 2019 period. Without having done that, I am quite sure I would not have been where I am today with my music. |

Released September 2015 via digital music label Tape Heads and Bandcamp.
“Silent Echoes” is a 2 track EP consisting of ambient, downtempo and mellow elements (amongst others). It starts with Towards the Night, which gives you a sort of comfortable and familiar foundation. You need to listen very closely, and once settled in, you will then notice all the subtle details, changes and growth (organic and thoughtful growth). The final soundscapes and atmospheres in Towards the Night will then lead you to Hidden Moments, where the sound is a little less familiar, taking you to slightly different musically landscape, making you want to carry on and discover all the “hidden moments”. |
