“Adrift” will be the first single from the upcoming album “The absence of noise”.
The title of the album is not about the absence of noises in my music, because noises are almost a foundation in my music. No, it is about how I use making music as an escape from all the “noises” in life. "Adrift" is about using music and music making as an escape from all the “noises” in life. All the disturbances and heaps of things to deal with, attend to, or solve. All the obligations, commitments and constraints that cross my way constantly. When I make music, I am alone and away from all the “noises”, floating and adrift, no ties, no constraints. I am not controlled by anyone, or anything. It is a feeling, or maybe a sort of “ temporary mindset”. Stay tuned for more information.

“Correlations Part Five is the 5th track on the EP "Correlations" and is part of a broader concept that goes beyond the album, however is interlinked (correlated). “Correlations Part Five” is the 5th track on the EP “Correlations”. This track closes of the EP with a more moody and slightly darker tone to it, but with the influence of nature still present or intact. The fringe of nature. In equal measure, indistinct and fuzzy chatter in the background. People holding on to something, but at the same time trying to adjust, …. to change. Slowly it gets more frantic, …. more determined. Something to overcome …. “Correlations Part Four is the 4th track on the EP "Correlations" and is part of a broader concept that goes beyond the album, however is interlinked (correlated). “Correlations Part Four” is the 4th track on the EP “Correlations”. A transitions to an almost paradise alike environment. The feeling of being relaxed and calm, the comforting sound of birds whistling in the background. Is it a forest, somewhere in the woods …. an ancient woodland? Again, the journey starts to deviate from its original course. It starts to get a bit more intense. Slowly moving away, the place becomes more and more distant. Moving back towards reality. Enjoying the last comforting sound of birds whistling while the mood of the atmosphere slowly changes to something more busy, ….. more comprehensive. “Correlations Part Three is the 3rd track on the EP "Correlations" and is part of a broader concept that goes beyond the album, however is interlinked (correlated). “Correlations Part Three” is the 3rd track on the EP “Correlations”. The journey continues with the feeling of being sad, somewhere in a melancholic place (or space) with life and activity. A nature alike environment, open and spacious. It then slowly transitions into a somewhat more active or busy place (or space), a less nature alike environment. Somewhere with a slightly more industrial and underground feel to it, a sort of downwards atmosphere. 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.
