Solar Voyage

Cosmic Odyssey

"Lotusland" was created to feel slightly otherwordly. I worked on this song over an 8-month period and I was trying to capture the emotional state of joy and wonder but with a subtle hint that overindulgence in such is also not a good state.
The last minute of the song has a shift in feeling, slightly more blissful and dreamy, but with subtle deliberate changes in the sound quality to reflect this hint that more is not always better. That is where the title "Lotusland" came from - a term meaning "An idyllic realm of contentment and self-indulgence".

Hope you enjoy and thank you for listening.

Shimmer (w/ MEGAS)

Taken from "Hearing Things (Reworked), out 24th October, 2026 via Hidden Shoal.

Those of you who have soaked in the beauty that is Erik Nilsson's 2015 release Hearing Things will know what a special album it is. For those fans and for the lucky few who get to hear it for the first time, we have some special for you. Nilsson has been hard at work remixing and remastering the original cuts, as he did with previous album Recollage, and it sounds glorious. So without further ado let us present Hearing Things (Reworked), available on all streaming services and Erik Nilsson's Bandcamp. Erik Nilsson’s music is available for licensing through Hidden Shoal. Head here for more details.

"...there have been many points during my numerous listens as I got ready to review this album where the emotional punch of Nilsson’s music just stops me in my tracks and I just need to take a moment to do nothing but listen. That’s effective stuff, and there’s plenty of effective stuff here. Do give this a listen.” - Hypnagogue

Drawing on folk, classical and electronica, Erik Nilsson blends acoustic instruments with field recordings and computer-generated sounds, crafting music akin to early Four Tet, Tortoise at their most minimal, and fellow Scandinavian soundscapers The Gentleman Losers. His Hidden Shoal debut Hearing Things advances the compositional strategy Nilsson first explored on his acclaimed debut Recollage: simple rhythmic and melodic elements are manipulated and recontextualised into richly textured, emotive pieces.

Stay tuned for another reworking and some remixes coming out before the end of the year!
