Chris Watson and BJ Nilsen biography, Chris Watson and BJ Nilsen discography
In the last lines of the third and final poem, in lines which remind of Nietzsche's aphorism 'The Madman', the island itself is presented as adrift in cosmic darkness, "not in the plans of planets, suns and systems".Storm is a cd of field recordings of North Sea storms by Chris Watson and BJ Nilsen.The first track ('No Man's Land) was created by Watson; the second track ('SIGWX') is a collaborative effort; and the third and final track ('Austrvegr') was created by Nilsen.The icy wind is harsher than the coldest Black Metal noise; the geese murmur and grunt, the seagulls shriek and the seals jabber as if they are all moonsick; the waves crash and the sea churns and rages and roils relentlessly.Now lapping out of the gathering gloom an immersive sea wash is filling then draining away carrying slow currents from here to another place.That Watson and Nilsen produce such a grim orchestration of field recorded sounds is not so surprising if one considers their antecedents.His first album was Black Romantic ambient and bore the title 'This Crying Age' .This made it possible to reduce nature to an object of aesthetic contemplation.No longer were the seas perilous to cross; they now became aesthetic spectacles.In a sense, 'Storm' is to storms and the sea what Swiss Black Metal band Paysage D'Hiver is to winter landscapes and mountains.But the fact that it's aesthetic experience is historically determined in no way lessens my enjoyment of 'Storm'.Only for an withered, anaemic mentality would the fact that this aesthetic is bound up with an historical, cultural and social context be a reason for reluctance to love and enjoy this beautiful album.The sublime is also a historically, culturally and socially grounded method for intoxication, a set of practical waymarks and contextual clues leading to an experience which makes the air one breathes invigorating.Underground Expeditions

more...With his more recent work Waton has bucked a few of those questions by mixing, editing and collaging his material into soundscapes that are more akin to music than anything else.Nilsen (aka Hazard and a purveyor of minimal electronics) and Watson have collaborated before, most notably on Hazard's Wind.The opening "No Man's Land" is a tour de force; assembled and collaged by Watson from several recordings made over a five year period, it takes the listener on a strange and improbable journey; a coastal walk in worsening weather where seabirds gather in their masses and seals moan spookily to themselves.It's a meditative, strange experience, and comes highly recommended.This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Licence.If you choose to use this review on your site please link back to this page.Disclaimer: The BBC will put up as many of your reviews as possible but we cannot guarantee that all emails will be published.Looking for an artist or an album?During December 2000 several significant storm fronts developed across the North Sea and Scandinavia.Benny remarked to me that he had recorded some of these on the Baltic coast and proposed a collaborative cd project based around our mutual interests in the rhythms and music created when the elements combine over land and out to sea.We spent the next few years gathering recordings on our respective coastlines and islands during the very active weather windows during the autumnal equinox and winter solstice.Gotland where Benny listened in with a favourite pair of Sennheiser omnidirectional microphones.Now lapping out of the gathering gloom an immersive sea wash is filling then draining away carrying slow currents from here to another place.There are no reference points in this darkness.Tyne ebb and flow with the swell.Draw in close but hear now a fresh voice from beyond the horizon.November from 2000 to 2005 on the North East coast of England and Scotland.Cyclonic North East gale 8 backing North later 3 to 4.Thundery rain, moderate to good.Heavy winds making it impossible to stand up straight, icy rain hitting your face like needles.Sweden, using a pair of Sennheiser 110 binaural mics straight to a Tascam DA P1 DAT during December 2003 and July 2004.Locations used included cottages, sheds, barns, fields and the coast.Chris Watson specialises in natural history and documentary location sound together with track assembly and sound design in post production.Since 1999 he has been releasing records as Hazard on the UK labels Ash International and Touch, making music and sound for documentary film, television and commercials.Nietsche Family Circus
