This is the sound of snow melting outside. 

A guitar. And some slow iPadsounds. A bit of snow and winter.

The Future Sound of Manglerud: Stor og liten G

The first music to be shared from #N/A - the forthcoming new studio album from NISENNENMONDAI, recorded with legendary dub producer ADRIAN SHERWOOD in Tokyo, and released outside Japan on his On-U Sound label.

#N/A (literally, Nisennenmondai with Adrian Sherwood) is a new studio album which sees the cult Japanese trio filtering their epic motorik jams through the mixing desk of the legendary dub producer.

Nisennenmondai are three girls from Tokyo, Sayaka Himeno (drums), Yuri Zaikawa (bass) and Masako Takada (guitar), who have been playing instrumental music together since 1999. From their initial beginnings as a noisy no wave band openly referencing influences such as Sonic Youth, DNA and This Heat, they have since honed and streamlined their sound into a more minimalistic pulse with an emphasis on the hypnotic possibilities of repetition, creating a sound that can be likened to ‘organic techno’.

Much beloved by other musicians including Battles, Prefuse 73 and Chris & Cosey (Throbbing Gristle), in recent years they have made more connections to dance culture, in particular with their 2015 collaboration live and on record with electronic producer Shackleton.

Recording their new album with Sherwood has resulted in them sounding bigger than ever before, with a greater emphasis on small rhythmic details and subtle dub touches, reminiscent in places of the classic Basic Channel sound.

This international edition of the album includes 2 bonus ‘live dub mixes’. Whilst Adrian showed considerable restraint in his production job on the studio album, on a subsequent live date at Tokyo’s Unit club he was recorded deploying a wild array of FX tricks, dropping in splashes of cavernous reverb and space echo delay to the performance of two pieces from the band’s previous album N’.

Nisennenmondai - #3

This is a piece of music written specifically for the book and release party of "Alt som teller" by norwegian author Ingrid Ovedie Volden.

The book tells us about 12-year old Petra, who believes in beautiful and harmonic even numbers. Then she discovers PI, which makes her puke. And then a boy...

This piece explores the music delivered to us by PI, translating the first 18 decimals of PI into tone values and hence music. And some more, like a recording of a 12 year old girl who knows the first 3141 decimals of PI by heart. And the frequency 432. And more...

Naturally, it lasts for 3 minutes and 14 seconds.

In addition, I add some live guitar to it when performing.

Please get in touch if you would like to know more abut the composition process.

Enjoy and thanks for listening!
