The range of sound is as wide as is the emotional impact which slides from the unnvering to the shimmering and gorgeous. Doors, Bells, Birds, Wet snow falling from a tree, hacking of wood, Water dripping in a cave are all exquisitely captured and moulded into vast landscapes of sound. Human voices, String instruments, Descending trains, Oceans, Winds, Grass, Trees. These diverse sonic elements are grafted around and upon each other to create a rich tapestry of sound. Electronic embellishments harness the whole to create a singular expressive canvas. The 3 part suite concludes with the Beyond pebbles, rubble and dust, a grand glacial work which serves as a masterclass in extraordinary transcendental drone. The sound of nature, the nature of sound and the effects these have on humans has been a primary focus of Nilsen's investigation over the years. Irreal resounds with a level of sophisticated enquiry one would expect from one of the contemporary masters of the form.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Editions Mego","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50463871271243,"sku":"1130656","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/acea8e6f-821e-44c2-a64c-613e8fb2606b_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727267715"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/collections\/test_2345b1bf_thumbnail_4096_4ce40f1e-53d9-4c73-a104-19782f457dd3.jpg?v=1727267695","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/bj-nilsen.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
