Niclas Barker: Plunges into minimalistic, ambient dark waters!
Niclas Barker - Epektasis
Himlarymderna is the first track released from forthcoming album Epektasis by Nicklas Barker. Release date was July 29th 2022.
Nicklas Barker (Anekdoten, Kosmogon & My Brother The Wind) plunges into minimalistic, ambient dark waters with Epektasis, six meditations of shimmering, minimal, electronic soundscapes, recorded over two weeks in September 2021 in Stockholm and the mountain village of Åre using two Mellotrons and an ARP Odyssey synthesizer. A palette of vintage keyboards and percussion through four looping devices, culminating in the summoning of celestial voices with meditative drones, in soothing infinite mysticism.

Nicklas Barker explains the genesis of the project:
«This music is rooted in the works of post-war, experimental, minimalist and electronic music composers such as La Monte Young, Eliane Radigue, Tony Conrad and Paulina Oliveros. All of whom have had an enormous impact on me through the years».
