This video showcases the entirety of my debut album as Njordlyd, "Getting Closer," an industrial and dark ambient styled concept album. The album features 10 tracks created using reshaped sounds, samples, and field recordings, weaving them into evolving, immersive soundscapes. In this release, I continue working backward through my catalog of albums, having previously created full album visuals for "The Absence of Noise" and "Correlations." For "Getting Closer," I have used visuals consistent with earlier works (where available), reusing elements from my live performance of "Dark Ride" and crafting distinct, surreal scenes for each track. Each visual reflects the mood of its corresponding track, combining dark, graphic novel-inspired imagery with surreal, abstract elements. Expect circular paths, shifting geometries, industrial environments, grainy textures, faint glitches, and impossible dimensions—all tied together in a surreal, immersive narrative.
I have just released my first-ever live performance as Njordlyd. This 30-minute set weaves together six tracks that reflect my journey from 2021 to now. It opens with an intro based the second part of Circles, flowing into Dark Ride, Correlations Part 2 and 4, Adrift, and The Least—each representing key moments in shaping my sound.
The set concludes with "Out of Left Field", a heavier, more intense track (unreleased) that brings an unexpected edge to the performance. Now available on all major streaming services. I am currently working on my next album, planned for release in spring 2025. The first single is expected at the beginning of the year.In the meantime, I’m releasing something different: Njordlyd Live #01: Den Haag 2024 (Pop Radar) on December 19th. This live recording is ideal for taking a moment to relax and unwind after a busy December, offering some calm before Christmas.
Thanks for listening and following along. A new section has been added to the website: live. On this page I will post everything related to live performances. For now it is still under construction and contains only information, pictures and videos from my live performance 20th of October 2024. Stay tuned for more about live performances.
In addition I have removed the section "The Absence of Noise" to make space for this new section. However, the section is still accessible / available via the music page (section), as well as the home page (section). I’ve just uploaded my first-ever live performance as Njordlyd. This 30-minute set brings together six tracks that trace my journey from 2021 up until now. The set opens with an intro based on Circles before transitioning into the end part of the track. From there, it flows through Dark Ride, Correlations Part 2, Correlations Part 4, Adrift, and The Least, representing the releases that have shaped my sound in recent years. The set wraps up with an untitled track, slightly heavier and more intense than my usual work, adding an unexpected contrast and conclusion to the set. Visuals accompany the music, mixing older material with new visuals created specifically for this live set. Sit down, listen, and immerse yourself in the journey. Watch the full performance and let the music and visuals take you through this sonic exploration. #njordlyd #liveperformance #experimentalmusic #ambient This video presents the full EP, Correlations, a dark and atmospheric journey of industrial and ambient soundscapes. For those who appreciate abstract visuals and immersive audio experiences, Correlations offers a blend of surreal imagery and music, where each track is accompanied by a distinct visual theme—spacious, strange, and often dark. Each 30 seconds introduces a new scene that complements the music's evolving mood, with each track featuring its own distinct theme. The visuals range from gritty, abandoned industrial landscapes to retro-futuristic environments where time and space blur. Themes of nature reclaiming factories, surreal bird songs, and shadowy figures emerge as the EP progresses, creating a dynamic and unsettling atmosphere. As part of uploading all my albums and EPs as full-length videos, this release also marks a step toward making space for new material and music coming later this year. Hope you enjoy it. I am to announce that on Sunday the 20th of October 2024, I will be playing live for the first time ever as Njordlyd. #njordlyd #liveperformance #experimentalmusic #ambient  |
