Storm

Storm
Together with BJ Nilsen Chris Watson collected field recordings from storm fronts developed across the North Sea and Scandinavia composed and mixed into a sublime experience of the rhythms and music created when the elements combine over land and out to sea. Storm is produced by Touch # Tone 27 and includes an introduction by the artist himself. This wasn’t the first collaboration between the Briton and the Swede (“Wind and Land,” two albums by Nilsens Hazard), but “Storm” is the first album that’s being presented as a joint project. Of several significant storm fronts which developed across the North Sea and Scandinavia during December 2000 the artists from the British label Touch recorded some of these on the Baltic coast for their collaborative cd project based around their mutual interests in the rhythms and music created when the elements combine over land and out to sea. For the next years they gathered recordings on their respective coastlines and islands during the very active weather windows during the autumnal equinox and winter solstice.
