The Artist
Njordlyd, the creator of experimental, dark, and industrial ambient soundscapes, invites you into a world where music transcends mere listening. In this sonic realm, each composition is more than a track; it's a dynamic journey. Like chapters in an ever-growing sonic narrative, every release unfolds a new dimension, inviting you to immerse yourself in the evolving tapestry of Njordlyd's musical exploration.
"When creating music, I let the sounds, ideas, mood, and current inspiration control me until a certain point, where it all turns, and I naturally take over the control."

The Music
"creating music is when I feel I am who I am and where I can be who I am"
In 1991, the journey commenced, and since then, Njordlyd has been an integral part of underground music projects, collaborations, and releases. The period from 1998 to 2014 marked a phase of self-discovery, where the focus was on defining a unique sonic identity.
The Njordlyd project officially started in November, 2014, marked by the release of Silent Echoes (EP) in 2015 and the 2-track single Ghost Running in 2017. A visionary three-year plan, initiated in 2021, unfolded in phases. Phase 1 (April 2021 to April 2022) witnessed the release of five impactful 1-track singles: "Circles," "Subconsciously," "Perception," "Voices," and "Clouds."
Phase 2, starting in September 2022, unveiled the 2-track single "Interlaced" and the album "Getting Closer" in November 2022. The phase concluded in early 2023 with the release of the single "Correlations Part Two" (February) and the EP "Correlations" (March).
In September 2023, Phase 3 began with the release of the single "Adrift," followed by "With Time" in November 2023. This lead to the release of the album "The Absence of Noise" 16th of February 2024.

The Name
The name Njord is a personal choice, derived from a liking for the Norse god associated with the sea, sailing, fishing, and fertility. The addition of "lyd," meaning sound, transforms Njord into a pseudonym that reflects my connection to music—a representation of my distinctive sonic identity.
The Inspiration
Musical inspiration flows from a diverse spectrum, drawing from the likes of Future Sound of London, Biosphere, Burial, Mount Shrine, Brian Eno, Harold Budd, Massive Attack, Portishead, and Marconi Union.
