Peter Johan Nÿland is best known for his work with intensive synth duo Distel, avant-garde leviathan Hadewych and melancholic ambient project Norn. Other ventures include collaborations with the likes of Dead Neanderthals and Trepaneringsritualen. Next to these involvements he does the odd audio engineering job and until recently worked as a composer for television documentaries and other media. Early exposure to synthesiser experimentation, combined with the plethora of percussion sounds found in metal school fences and hypnotising phase-shifting pencil-tapping on desks removed his ability to just take sounds for granted. Keep your kids away from said objects, lest they turn out the same.
