about

Interlaced” is a 2-song “single” or EP consisting of Dark Ride (track one) and Interlaced (track two). Both tracks will be on the upcoming album “Getting Closer”. I have deliberately chosen to release a single with 2 songs, to introduce the listeners to the concept for the upcoming album. I have also deliberately chosen to call the Single “Interlaced”, even though the main track and story is related to “Dark Ride”. Interlaced is to me spot on, because the story and concept around this and the coming releases, are interwoven and crossed intricately together.

“Dark Ride” is an alternative and slightly darker version of "Circles”. It is much shorter, more minimal and has a sort of "dusty" and organic feel to it. It is “reshaped” based on sampled and stretched pieces from the original track and further combined with additional samples, effects, etc. One of the additional samples is a field recording of breaking waves (breakers). The original track has a quite long and complex story to it, one of them being a combination of a few sounds, which gives a sort of “circling” effect. I did not include this in the original story, as it would make it too complex. However, these sounds also gives me the sensation of water. It makes me think about breaking waves, harbours and the sound (noise) of wire on masts. A quite distinct memory from my childhood and my parents, which is also why I decided to incorporate this field recording into the soundscape. This alternative version and little extra story makes everything around “Circles” complete (for me personally). For more information about the story of “Circles”, please click this link njordlyd.com/circles.html. This link will take you to the full story on the Njordlyd website. "Circles" is also available here on Bandcamp.

Track two (Interlaced) is a new track that continues the concept of reshaping existing tracks and sounds. This track contains sampled and stretched sounds from some of the previous releases, as well as a live recording from an improvised session in 2019. As for "Dark Ride", it has also been combined with additional samples, effects, etc. The track is less dusty, quite organic and has a sort of sweeping repetition to it.
