General update from Njordlyd

11/3/2022

Last week Friday "Clouds" was released. As mentioned earlier mentioned, "Clouds" is the 5th and last track from Phase 1 (From April to April). I am currently working on writing up a conclusion for Phase 1, entitled "From April to April", and compiling the tracks from the Phase.

I am also working on increasing postings and communication. For now I will try to give a general update every Friday.

That it's for now. Take care and have a good weekend. Here is a link to a recent feature from AVA Live Radio about Ambient Soundscapes and using music to meditate, relax, focus, etc.

In the feature there is a playlist with 10 tracks (around 35 minutes) from various indie artists. Press play and start the journey.

"Clouds" is out now

"Clouds" is now available in most digital music stores and streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, Amazon, Bandcamp, Deezer, etc.

“Clouds” is the 5th and last release from Phase 1 (April 2021 to April 2022). As such it is a continuation of the story from the last release “voices”, which in short was about triggers and input. These triggers and inputs are somehow a natural part of the creation process and way of working, when I am making music. It is a kind of “amorphous” process without any fixed “shape” or “form”, a process which is more a flow than something “structured”. Of course, I am doing this based on a plan and with a set of goals in mind. However, the actual moment, when I am working on music, is a process that constantly changes and evolves, a bit like when watching clouds in the sky. Clouds take on many shapes, and those shapes changes when they roll across the sky. When I am working with music, there are also moments with many shapes (e.g. ideas) that change over time (during the process) and end with a “snapshot” of the moment when the track is ready, like a snapshot of a cloud.

The track itself starts with a dark undertone, but also with some lighter tones on top (which could be hope, but is maybe more reflection). It then goes into a more “practical” atmosphere, maybe manual labour and then ends with a sort of sensation of “something” being finished or ….. closure.

While working on this track, I had my mind set towards “amorphous” or “formations” as a track name. However, in the final phase of completing the track and preparing for the release, the word and sensation of “clouds” constantly came to my mind. In the end I chose “clouds” - It just feels right and reflects my music and way of working a lot. Clouds never float in the same way or pattern and they change endlessly from one second to another, like my mind.
