The "Correlations" EP is out now.
“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.

On Friday, the 24th of March 2023, the EP "Correlations" will be released. A 5 track EP continuing the journey from the album "Getting Closer", a journey through twisted samples, field recordings and effects.
"Correlations Part Two" is out now (Friday the 17th of February 2023). This track is featured on the album "Getting Closer" from last year and is the "bridge" track towards the forthcoming EP "Correlations". The EP will be released Friday the 24th of March and consist of 5 tracks: Correlations Part One to Five.
“Correlations Part Two is the 9th track on the album "Getting Closer" and is part of a broader concept that goes beyond the album, however is interlinked (correlated). In March 2023 I will be releasing an EP called "Correlations" and this track will be on the EP (as track 2). A journey observing the passage of time, the feeling of slipping or drifting away, a wandering mind. Gradually adopting or adjusting to a certain situation. A particularly moment of time, a snapshot of a particularly part of a long journey. The sensation of travelling through space, somewhere in the future. Indistinct or fuzzy communication and chatter in the background. Arriving somewhere, …. an unknown destination, leaving the question, is this the last destination or is just another stop on the way to ….. “Correlations Part One is the 8th track on the album "Getting Closer" and is part of a broader concept that goes beyond the album, however is interlinked (correlated). In March 2023 I will be releasing an EP called "Correlations" and this track will be on the EP (as track 1). The start of the track has a dominant noise alike sound. It gives the impression of travelling through the air, going somewhere, far away, maybe space. Leaving earth, going somewhere, far away. Throughout the track there is felling of uncertainty, almost apprehensive. It feels moody and harsh, a slightly gritty atmosphere. Uncomfortable, possible passing through unknowns, unfamiliar feelings. What will the journey will bring, what is the destination? Happy New Year to you all and thanks for listening in 2022.
New music coming in March or April 2023. Check out the new videos / visual in the "visuals" section and the reviews in the "features" section. Today the "Eventual" video / visuals is "released". "Eventual" is the tenth (10) and last track from my new album "Getting Closer", which was released Friday, 18th of November. This track is not an alternative version, it is a short and concise conclusion of the album. It takes the listener on a last "reshaped" journey through my landscape of samples and musical parts from Phase One and the recorded live sessions from 2018-2019. all stretched, manipulated and processed in the same spirit as for all the other 9 tracks on the album. Next year January will see the release of the video / visuals for Correlations Part One and Two. I have deliberately chosen to release the video / visuals for "Eventual" before those 2 tracks. In March / April 2023 I will be releasing an EP called Correlations, and Part One and Two will be used to introduce the listeners / viewers to this EP. This is my last post regarding videos / visuals for my music, this year. I wish you all a merry X-mas and a happy new year. All the the best for 2023 and thanks for watching and listening in 2022. Cheers, Carsten / Njordlyd “Fog, Mist and Haze” is the sixth track on the album "Getting Closer"s. It is also the last alternative version of the tracks from Phase One. The track is an alternative version of “Clouds” from March 2022. For more information about the story for “Clouds”, please click here: This link will take you to the full story on the this website. “Endlessly” is the fifth track on the album "Getting Closer". The track is an alternative version of “Voices” from December 2021. In short, this track is merely a confirmation of all the “voices” and triggers in my head, which goes on endlessly. There is hardly a day without ideas and inspirations being triggered. That might sounds like a sort of "good" thing, and it is, but it is also a burden, as I never have the time to do "something" with all of it. For more information about the story for “Voices”, please click here. “Defined Sensibility” is the fourth track on the album "Getting Closer". The track is an alternative version of “Perception” from October 2021. Sensibility is the ability to receive sensation and in this case a “defined sensibility” in the shape of music. It continues to surprise and amaze me what music can do to trigger emotions, feelings, ….. sensations. In the promotion for “Clouds” I am referring to Nietzsche quote / statement: “a life without music would be a mistake”. To me a very true and appropriate statement. Music is like a key that opens the door to emotions, but also to receive sensation, a possibility to tell stories and define sensations in a very unique way.
