The Album: “The Diffused Thoughts Collection""The Diffused Thoughts Collection" is my third album as Njordlyd.
An album that comes from a mind that never really stops. Thoughts drift in, change direction, disappear, or keep going longer than expected — often with no clear structure, more like a flow. And this is where these tracks come from. Each track on the album is just a small part of that wider, fragmented landscape. They’re not aiming to tell a full story or fit neatly together — they’re more like fragments caught in a process. Emerging from the same diffused state, but taking their own form. The sound has a quiet, spacey feel — sometimes slightly sci-fi-inspired, like signals drifting through static. Not loud or dramatic. Not made to stand out — more like something that surfaces when everything else gets quiet and your thoughts come together. This is simply that: a collection. Of sounds, moods, and scattered thoughts — determined and present. |

The album tracks
"Thresholds" (Track one) - Intro
Thresholds represents a moment of transition—the crossing from the known into the unknown. An essential threshold, rooted in a dusty, dark sci-fi atmosphere, it suggests the start of an otherworldly journey. Like entering a quiet, unfamiliar space, it hints at what lies beyond: strange dimensions, shifting realities, and subtle transformation. Thresholds introduces listeners to the album’s atmosphere, inviting them to enter and explore.
“Pathfinder” (Track two) - First single
Pathfinder is a track about discovery - finding a direction, a path, and, in some ways, a sense of self. A pathfinder is both a guide and an explorer - someone who goes ahead to look for the way forward, whether for themselves or others. This mix of curiosity and direction is guiding me towards how I approach music. A balance that reflects my choices and path, an ongoing journey with soundscapes and all the creative work that surrounds it.
Like a pathfinder is “always ahead”, persistently moving forward, his track captures both my journey so far, but also what I hope to share with others - a way of experiencing music and sound from a different perspective. Pathfinder also reflects the experimental part of creating - where you explore new and different directions, but remain rooted in what feels natural. It’s about having a direction and staying true to yourself, while also being open-minded.
The track itself gives the feeling of a stopover on a journey—a moment to pause, take in the surroundings, and breathe deeply. The sounds are soothing yet thought-provoking, offering a sense of reset before you set off again.
“The Diffused Thoughts Collection” (Track three) - Title track
A long flowing ambient piece: The Diffused Thoughts Collection comes from a mind that never really stops. Thoughts drift in, change direction, disappear, or keep going longer than expected - often with no clear structure, more like a flow. A space where sounds float like fragments, moods emerge without warning, and where even the slowest moments carry as much weight as sound. It is ambient, abstract, and slow-moving. Quietly unfolding. Not designed to build or resolve - but to stay in motion. Not a journey, just the space between moments.
“Vision 25” (Track four)
My mind rarely switches off — a restless mind always in motion. It is overflowing with ideas, sounds, images, and thoughts. It might sound amazing, but most of the time it feels like a burden: a constant current that often becomes too much. It happens with everything — music, work, even in conversations — and with the little time I have, I’m often afraid of losing those ideas. I have learned how to park most of them and hold on, but that only adds to the sense of overburden. Vision 25 is another capture of this restless mind in motion. An overload of ideas. It’s not just about the music — it’s an abstract archive of my mind too, all its shapes and surreal structures quietly searching for balance. As I have learned to deal with it, this track gave me what I needed most: a sense of calm, and a clear vision for my upcoming album.
“From Here To There” (Track five)
Follow the flow. Drift through moments. From one ambient stage to the next. A journey through motion, transition, and shifting moments From Here to There is about movement and transition — through life, thoughts, emotions, and creative flow. It captures the feeling of being in-between moments, of navigating the space between one state and another, where nothing is fixed and everything shifts gradually.
The track feels like a bumpy road journey: there’s always something to notice, obstacles to navigate, and moments that leave an impression. Motion and rhythm carry you forward, and each twist or turn affects your perception as the journey unfolds. It’s a track that moves, drifts, and evolves organically.
"Dream Shifter" (Track six)
Dream Changer Ambient: Dream Changer takes place in a strange workroom where dreams are quietly adjusted and redirected. The track drifts between calm and tension — as if you are trying to get away from something, yet finding brief moments of clarity and light along the way. Are you in a hurry? It feels like you are running from something, but maybe that is okay. There are fragments of something good along the way — you just have to stop to notice them.
“Further Still” (Track seven)
