BJ Nilsen - The Short Night


Benny Nilsen continues his territories exploration, using this time old tapemachines, generators, frequency analyzers and software.
Location recordings were Mälaren (Stockholm, Sweden) Coombe Gibbet (Berkshire, England) and Landakot (Vatnsleysuströnd, Iceland).
Seven tracks where sound crystallizes, showing us his diaphanous face, leading us into desolate landscapes.
A good soundtrack for next winter.
