Mads Emil Nielsen: Black Box 3

arbitrary14, December 2022
https://arbitraryproject.com/Black-Box-3

arbitrary presents the third in the Black Box series of releases by Mads Emil Nielsen. The release, which showcases a more sample- and grid-based side of the Danish musician/composer’s work, is part of a sequence of publications with music and audio originally made for theatre, radio soundtracks and more.

Black Box 3 is based on sound pieces produced for Sprækker (Cracks), a dance performance & installation in Denmark, 2021. The starting points for these pieces are improvisations recorded with contemporary dancers, in which Nielsen guides the listener through a corpus of synthesizer recordings, everyday sounds and radio archives.

Mads Emil Nielsen: Black Box 3 - excerpts

Alt-pop experimentalist and Croatian Amor collaborator @altoaria pays tribute to lovelorn souls on their @rhz000 return.

Fitting that a release bearing a title referring to an all-consuming state of infatuation would land on Valentines Day. Striking balance between soft and severe, ‘Limerence’ is a lament to unrequited love; a homage to the heart-broken among us.

Tugging hard on the heartstrings, our pick is no less tender for its restraint. String-fuelled, heart-in-mouth melodrama imbued with a sense of yearning. 

'Limerence' is out February 14th on Rhizome.
