Not tethered to a single mind: NTOGN

— Artist Intro —

Ntogn [en’togg-n] is a conceptual electro-acoustic project developed by Hypnus Records' founder and sound design graduate Michel (b. 1988, Sweden). It aims to breathe life into a life-long fascination for magic with the use of contemporary and classic sound design techniques. This has resulted in what Resident Advisor's William Lynch describes as "fierce, artistic techno that sounds like little else out there" and a discography ranging from earth-shattering techno to dark, throbbing ambient excursions.

Chapter 1: "The soul within them" 
Beneath their rugged skin and scalding flesh, there is a human soul trapped in eternity, burning with excruciating and insatiable energy. 

Chapter 2: "Inside their lair" 
In the mountains old as the world itself, warlocks from across the lands has gathered inside their cavernous lair to celebrate and bless the birth of a hundred dragons. As they chant, their mother roar. 

Chapter 3: "They soar through flames" 
Up in the endless sky, the hunters are soaring in the flames blasting from their jaws. With scales hot as the sun, flesh like molten iron, the fly in honor of this day of legends. 

Chapter 4: "Hatchlings, hatching" 
As the celestial portals align, the hatchlings start to hatch. Catching their first glimpse of starlight and screaming to the eternal void as their tiny wings start to flap.

Inside Their Lair [Tome]

They Soar Through Flames [Tome]

I could feel the mana running warm under my skin as the cold desert breeze swept through the valley. The black cloaks of my brethren fluttered like whips in the wind as our caravan slithered on through the desolate fields that had pulled us so far away from our crypt. The sun was setting and with a cry, I ordered us into a halt.  

We were very close now, we could all feel it. Our dragons had been silent for nearly three days and the tension inside of our horde was growing increasingly fierce. I looked down into my hands and saw no trace of the strong fists that had once tamed these giant scaulding creatures. A lifetime flashed before my eyes as I read the scars and wrinkles that ran endlessly across my palms like runes. Then, my eyes jolted toward the horizon as a clap of thunder broke the silence. We all watched as the sun swelled rapidly and we knew that the time had finally come. 

By the pounding fists of Ba'al. 
To the roars of our burning children. 
Death was coming to release us all.

We are very glad to welcome Michel to our podcast series. There is a good chance to remedy your absence, if you are one of those who missed him in Prague in May this year, where we hosted his live debut. He was featured within the Hypnus Records showcase, that is a record label established by himself in 2013. 

Shortly after that he defined a sub-label called TOME, a medium for releasing strictly his own work, that tries to dissolve his fascination for the occult in his musical production.  
If you have known everything written above, we strongly recommend checking other sublabel of Hypnus named Kabalion.

It's been well over two years since the last chapter in the tome of Ntogn. 'Sathurnus' saw the destruction of his former world and time has since then laid the foundation for something new. 'Utopia' offers a challenge for new and old listeners alike as darker rhythmical expressions now morph into something more cinematic; introducing melodies, instruments, singing and elaborate arrangements to guide the listener through psychedelic terrain.

The EP is composed out of a new-found passion for modular synthesis which lies at the core of each track together with the usual experimental usage of field recordings and the artist's voice as source for a wide range of elements. It's a story as well as creative excursions where Michel shares intimate moments intertwined with wild sound sculpting ideas; all shaped into small stories of fiction and magic that hopefully takes the listener on a trip.

Ntogn [en'togg-n] is a conceptual electro-acoustic project developed by @Hypnus Records' founder and sound design graduate Michel (b. 1988, Sweden). It aims to breath life into a fascination for magic with the use of contemporary and classic sound design techniques. This has resulted in what Resident Advisor's William Lynch describes as 'fierce, artistic techno that sounds like little else out there' and a discography ranging from earth-shattering techno to dark, throbbing ambient excursions.

After spending nearly three years in isolation, deeply lost in literature on history, philosophy, occultism and epic fairy-tales; Michel developed an inner world which eventually found an outlet through the means of music in 2013. By the use of field recordings and various samplings of his voice and surroundings, something peculiar sprouted as his inner images started to manifest and mature into an organic sound inspired by the emerging hypnotic deep techno scene.

Today, all music is released on his own imprint Tome in order to preserve the projects' artistic freedom and originality. After two years of sound design studies at the university and a new-found passion for modular synthesis; there's plenty of music in store aimed to satiate and corrupt the curious minds with his coming EP scheduled to be released after the summer this year.

Until then, the uncompromising sound of Ntogn can be witnessed at clubs and festivals around the world with the debut of his first live set, including collaborative performances alongside close friend and fellow Hypnus adept Birds ov Paradise.

It's been three years since the last chapter of Ntogn's Tome was written and now we're glad to share with you the result of his venture through the recent winter.

'Smedjan' is inspired by the dwarven craftmanship of Norse mythology. It is made completely with organic sounds gathered from, and recorded in, the forests of Bålsta which is rich with northern heritage. Everything you hear is either processed textures of birch wood blocks, layers of a custom made Ukrainian artisan mouth harp or the artist's own voice.

There is no synthesis in this record. The kick drums are made by hitting these pieces of wood against each other with contact microphones. Bass layers are extracted from bark scraping against bark. Hi hats are crafted by recorded fire of the same wood logs burning and ambiance is built from the forests where the trees grew and from the woodshed where the artist chopped the wood during winter to keep his cabin warm. The rhythms and sounds in this shed is what inspired the making of this record.

By shaping these sounds of wood and metal Ntogn strives to create a sonic experience that connects the listener to the the old Norse stories of the dwarven craftsmanship of Svartalfheim. It is they who made the famous trinkets and weapons that empower the gods of Asgård through stories of trickery and despair which has later inspired tales and literature for over a thousand years.

The record has been distilled from material that was meant to become a two-hour live set specifically made for Mo:dem festival which was unfortunately cancelled due to the corona pandemic. It was also the foundation of the artist's thesis at the university of sound design where he made a study of the effects of organic sound on an electronic expression such as techno music.
