Josefin Lindebrink is a sound artist, acoustician, and independent researcher primarily concerned with perceptual studies of acoustic environments. Through acoustic modeling (auralization), spatialized sound composition and field recording her body of work aims to explore the connections between auditory/haptic sensation and the experience of space.

Used to a Guitar player that got into creative looping and moved on to modular synths and sound sculpting... now I am more of some sort of sound experimenter.
Main tool is Eurorack, but I use whatever toys that inspire..
My objective to music is to do something I find interesting and maybe good and to try to forge a personal and unique voice with my tools.. even if that is sort of impossible :-)
I also regard the road to that "voice" more important than the acutal goal.. i also invite you all to listen to me travling down that road..
So not all clips are meant to be "final products" they are more like a sound blogg of my development.. a develpment with unknown direction... as is all evolution

Enjoy

"Passive Luddite Aggression since 1992"

Two Assistant Deputy Ministers, 1994 - present.
Two Assistant Deputy Ministers make concrete computer music in an ill-placed effort to come to terms with their life-long demons. Yes, we have issues. Any resemblance to actual harsh noise, living or dead, is purely incidental.

Lustmerde, 1992 - 1994.
Before Two Assistant Deputy Ministers made concrete computer music, analog materials featured much more prominently in the final mix. The intent was to produce severely pitched ambient music which some might very well mistake for harsh noise. So be it.

Bloated Slutbag, 2002 - present.
Harsh lumbering power electronics, ambiance verite, and verbal abuse.
Primarily a live unit comprised of Kenny & Soddy, formed to help fill a perceived gap in the domestic Japanese market for dense sound explorations puncuated with extended haranguing of paying audience members.

When Isobel was a kid, growing up in a village in the South of England, her grandparents gave her a portable radio cassette recorder, with which she spent countless hours listening to music.  Her Sundays revolved, religiously, around the Top 40 chart, which she would listen to in its entirety, whilst recording her favorite songs & editing out the parts when the DJ talked over the music.  As she got older & stayed up later listening to the radio, it was inevitable that Isobel would discover John Peel’s late night show, & the “alternative” music that he played, including electronic, appealed to her so profoundly, that staying awake listening under the covers became the Sunday night ritual & shaped her taste for music.  In her late teens, during the school summer breaks, Isobel would vacation with friends to the Balearic island of Mallorca, where she embraced the nightlife during the height of acid house.  In 1990, Isobel moved to the North of England to further her education, where, to her delight,  the student union hosted raves on campus & one of her flatmates was a DJ.  Once done with her studies, she got a job & moved to London where she spent endless nights dancing at nightclubs, warehouse raves, house parties etc.  Whenever she could, she would make the annual pilgrimage to Glastonbury Music Festival, where she rarely left the dance tent.  In the late nineties, Isobel took some time out to travel & met & fell in love with Joey Hannah who was, at the time, based in Quito, Ecuador & about to play his first DJ gig.  Because of the nation’s financial crisis & eruption of Volcano Pichincha, Isobel & Joey made a hasty departure from Ecuador, & arrived in New York during Twilo’s hey-days & have since settled in the throng of the city.  It wasn’t until summer 2010, after attending “Movement” in Detroit, that Isobel had the revelation that she wanted to DJ.  Joey showed her the ropes & she was instantly hooked.  Joey Hannah is currently on a hiatus, whilst Isobel continues to plug away at her craft &, over the years, has played at TBA Brooklyn, Halcyon, Verboten, The Delancey, The National Underground & Karma, to name but a few, plus various underground dance parties.  Isobel has also played live on Global Mixx Radio & has had guest mixes featured on NYC Techno & Elastic Beatz NYC podcasts, Dali’s Groove Therapy Sessions & CGNY.

A NEW KIND OF WEATHER

"The deconstructed, gorgeous cover of 'I Drove All Night' manages to sound simultaneously comforting and incredibly sad, carried by multilayered vocals as voluminous and warm as the thick textures that hold them." - The Wire

FOR OSTLAND

"Alternately uneasy, bloodthirsty and painfully beautiful, For Ostland is a conflicted record that adds an unexpected new voice to the modern technoid post-punk dialogue." - Resident Advisor

"The group unfurl smoldering cinematic soundscapes, strange slivers of shadowy sound, moaning fragmented melodies, all over a haunting heartbeat like pulse, a sort of slo-mo electronica, laced with strange hummed/sung vocals" - Aquarius Records Record of the Week

"'Ghosts And Lovers' takes a distant four-to-the-floor to cold hymnal territory. When the searing guitars finally hit, it turns into a shoegaze explosion that clouds everything – a burial and an act of pushing away." - RCRD LBL

"Filled with dirges of guitar reminiscent of Sunn O))), Godspeed-esque post-rock crescendos, and dense layers of droning synths, Ostland's charred landscape is ever-changing yet consistently desolate." - Ad Hoc

"So not only is [Ghosts and Lovers] overbearing, noisy, and emotionally crushing, but it's a Marissa Nadler cover, too." - The Needle Drop

GHOSTS AND VERSIONS

"[Mark Verbos' Sordid Future Mix] layers the vocals of the Nihiti version with the futurism of a late-night cyberpunk rave." - FACT Magazine

FACED WITH SPLENDOR
pink morning music video: http://vimeo.com/29935617

"Folky, but still a bit gloomy, the vocals are fantastic, lush intricate harmonies, slipping from croon to falsetto and back again, dark and dramatic, moody and moving, a little seventies British acid folk, a little bit modern psych folk, the strings soar and sing, adding tension and drama, the vocals and guitar often playing off each other..." - Aquarius Records

"A fairly surprising departure from their past psychedelic sound, the new EP presents an introduction of more acoustic elements, revealing nihiti's hidden expertise in simple songwriting." - Dazed & Confused

"Everything seems brightly lit and in focus here. From the song's natural evolution with varied acoustic instrumentation to the careful melody, nothing is out of place." - Tiny Mix Tapes

"Pinko Morning removes electronic elements from nihiti's music while retaining the dark undertones the band is known for. - Altered Zones


<b>OTHER PEOPLE'S MEMORIES</b>

"There’s not a lot on [nihiti’s] Other People’s Memories that sounds much like anything else currently happening, unless there’s some cadre of well-presented electroacoustic savants out there churning out music of this gloss and caliber." – Dusted Magazine

"nihiti… relies on the coexistence of electronic music with acoustic instruments to create a sound that is alternately tense, foreboding, and intricate in the most intriguing ways… A cerebral effort in line with This Heat, late-period Talk Talk, Gastr del Sol, and other heavy hitters of recent decades, and a group that is worth the considerable effort to investigate." – Other Music Featured Pick, 1/4/2011

"Song structures weave from straight up danceable near-goth anthems, to completely disassembled and almost entirely heartbreaking ambient pieces… completely disassembling the structural elements of [these] seemingly paint-by-numbers pseudo-genres and very, very genuinely and very, very creatively forcing something new to exist." – Insound.com Record of the Week

"nihiti’s album, other people’s memories is a luxurious excursion across dazzling dreamscapes, an amalgam of progressive rock, non poh faced IDM, and playful experimentalism which make you feel like you were somewhere else without being in between places." – 20jazzfunkgreats.co.uk
