The Field | Sound of Light EP
The inspired people at Stockholm’s The Nordic Light Hotel have come up with a concept called “Sound of Light.” The goal of the project is to portray the entire hotel through music by inviting musicians to the hotel “to interpret the hotel experience and express it by making a record.” The first contributor to the project was local hero Axel Willner aka The Field. Willner came up with a four song EP titled Sound of Light with each track lasting around 15 minutes. The four tracks are meant for the morning, day, evening, and night to “portray all the various moods of the light and the hotel.”
Sound of Light is like a “classical” album, but comprised of all electronic elements; violins, cellos, and pianos are replaced by electronic beats and samples. Hypnotic and simply gorgeous.
Stream the entire EP at The Nordic Light Hotel’s “Sound Of Light” page. The only place the album is available (unless you plan on visiting the hotel and getting a hard copy at the reception desk) is digitally via iTunes. Check out The Field’s remix of Thom Yorke’s “Cymbal Rush” below (note: this track is not from Sound of Light).
