B.J Nilsen, Swedish born sound and recording artist, has been putting out work in various constellations since the early 90´s. Primarily focused on the sound of nature and its effect on humans, field recordings and the perception of time and space as experienced through sound, often electronically treated.
A follower to 2005's Fade to White [Touch # TO:65], "The Short Night" see´s B.J Nilsen further develop his work, based on field recordings and electronics. This time he adds harsher yet clearer harmonies with musical elements to the compositions, creating a beautifully complex and detailed studies.
Recorded in 2006-7 with mostly analogue equipment, using up to 50 year-old tapemachines, filters and generators that "soft cushion" these cold location recordings.
Location recordings from Mälaren, Stockholm, Sweden; Coombe Gibbet,
Berkshire, England and Landakot, Vatnsleysuströnd, Iceland.
Reviews
Touch have done it again then and thrown out yet another high water mark for the genre and a shining beacon in a mire of mediocrity. Huge recommendat Boomkat (uk)
