Bålsam - Vientos De Verano

In November 2016 a musical bond was formed in a small suburban part of Copenhagen. What later turned into the foundation of Nature Tales, several sonic creations, events, workshops, concerts and travels, all began with a walk around the local lake with a handheld recorder on an ice-cold late autumn day. On that day these two pieces were composed from recordings from the frozen lake, combined with ngoni, frame drum and voice, and from there the journey back to nature through organic/electronic ambient music commenced.

We are happy to finally share this EP for the first time to the public, almost 6 years after its creation.

Ishtadi & Respira - Moon Lake (Preview) [NT005]

I wanted to create tracks that implied motion, but a subtle motion in otherwise stillness, like the illusion of fluidity in a heat haze. Mostly, I wanted to make an album of unhurried music that was happy taking its time, each track existing in the moment, slowing up and speeding down.

Slow Up, Speed Down

In this collaboration, Radboud Mens and I explore the tension between stasis and movement. Operating within the realm of drone and electroacoustic music, we construct a sonic landscape where sustained tones and microscopic events constantly shape and reshape each other. What initially appears static reveals itself to be rich with detail: tiny acoustic shifts breathe life into apparent stillness, inviting focused and attentive listening.

The album emerged from a process where sound research, improvisation, and sound design merge. Self-built instruments, the search for timbre and texture, and recordings of the learning process itself form the foundation of these compositions. Rather than following a traditional musical structure, the result is a sonic field in which the minimal continually transforms depending on the listener’s perspective. This is a layered and handcrafted album that doesn’t narrate, but questions. Marking A Boundary With The Turning Point is not a boundary. It’s an invitation to listen differently.
