no sordo press release...
the idealist
title: i am the fire
ref: nsrd007
format: cd (digipack superglossy)

release date 06/11/06.

incendiary electronics from gothenburg.
a lifetime in the making (and a year or two or actual production), "i am the fire" is the full-length debut release by the idealist, a swedish musician with a penchant for the subversive side of atmospheric noise. this 6-track album is a through-the-keyhole (earhole?) look at the mind of a man who lives, breathes and dreams of sounds with an organic feel but an electronic bite.

joachim nordwall (b. 1975, karlskrona, sweden), the idealist, began his experiments in sound as a young boy. in 1987, he formed the alvars orkester with jan svensson, in which they mixed electronic sound with an interest in psychic broadcasting. he was particularly active within the independent music scene of the 1980s and 90s, releasing work through the börft records label. after a brief hiatus, alvars orkester has recently (january 2006) released the "interference" album on london’s ash international label, showcasing their superb analogue sound experiments.

from 1998-2005, he was part of the avant punk rock trio kid commando, a band that toured europe several times. also in 1998, he founded the ideal organization as a platform for his ongoing work as an artist, label owner and curator of the near-legendary ideal festival for the last four years.

nordwall has collaborated with many artists, including henrik rylander, lasse marhaug and leif elggren. he lives and works in gothenburg, sweden and is a founding member of experimental rock band the skull defekts (also with henrik rylander) who have two releases on aa: "open the gates of miner" (aa04) and "rotating feedback & save the skull" (aa05/ideal036), two limited edition releases with deluxe card sleeves. the skull defekts are also releasing a long-awaited full-length studio album in 2006.

no sordo (sweden) #nsrd 004 cd

ljudbilden & piloten / kama ainasplit” seven inch single record

  • cittra (l&p)
  • hotaru (ka)
no sordo press release...
kama aina / ljudbilden & piloten
title: split
ref: nsrd004
format: 7" (white vinyl, deluxe card sleeve, limited edition of 300 copies)

"beautiful music in beautiful packaging". this is the idea behind nsrd004, a special white vinyl 7" record with two tracks from two of today’s most interesting (in our opinion) musicians working entirely within their own self-created universe of sounds. see below for more information about these two talented individuals.

the covers of the 7" are unique for each order in that the name and address of the person purchasing the item will be hand-written on the cover and it will be sent to them individually. you cannot buy this item in the shops. the idea behind this is to make sure each and every one of the 300 copies goes to someone who loves beautiful music in beautiful packaging as much as we do.

as an extension of this idea, we would like to extend the invitation to all those who purchase this one-off 7" to send us a photo of the package when it arrives (to see how well the lovely postal service handles the packages) and of yourself, so we can see how happy you are with your new, personalized package. once we have enough photos, we’ll post them on the site and even go as far as arrange an exhibition if we can. we need you to help us achieve this, so don’t delay, send yours in right away. thanks.

ljudbilden & piloten: the music of ljudbilden & piloten is one of introspection and peacefulness. his relentless search for new sounds has brought him to use a range of objects (some unusual, some regular instruments) in the creation of his works. on the track on this special 7" you’ll hear elmo (his dog), glass, a zither, some rhythms, a handclap or two, an egg slicer, a guitar, a bass and a trumpet. he was joined for this special recording by douglas holquist on vibraphonette.

lately kristofer has been composing for theatre, dance-theatre and for short film productions. this summer he also worked as a musicpedagogue at neon with lisa nordström from midaircondo. he's been touring with david balula, domotic and o.lamm (active suspension), dead texan (kranky), as well as dates in copenhagen and barcelona.

kama aina: kama aina is the solo project of takuji aoyagi, another true multi-instrumentalist and extensive traveller who, throughout his creative life, has endeavoured to seek out and collect sounds and images from the world over. he lives in tokyo, japan where he is one of the main figures in the gleaming japanese scene of innocent, diy and heartbreaking folk-pop.

takuji aoyagi founded his own label folkcore in 2002 and in summer of 2004 he released his latest album "two fingers", with 10 artists from japan, the united states, france, and argentine, including tommy guerrero and josh from town & country. the album was called "two fingers" since all the pieces could be played with just two fingers.

also in 2004 geographic (a sub record label to domino, driven by the pastels) released the compilation "music activist" of his best works so far. takuji aoyagi is also a member of little creatures and double famous.

on this track he plays the mandolin, tambora, xylophone, a bell, a spanish guitar and a piano.

various artists
title: tachan
ref: nsrd003
format: cd digipack

"if a more harmonious compilation ever comes across my path, i will be incredibly shocked. every song deserves your attention and none try to steal it from each other. most compilations are simply stepping stools to an artist's greater work; this compilation is an album in its own right."
eden hemming rose

this release is a co-operation between the spanish art magazine rojo and nosordo. a 77+ minute journey through sound, space and 15 hot & exclusive tracks from our favourite artists. all wrapped up in a digipack with artwork from german artist boris hoppek and mastered by jürgen de blonde (köhn). we are pretty sure you'll like what you hear and that.
