Magnor by Kristoffer Oustad

Ten years after his first solo album, Kristoffer Oustad returns with “Magnor”, a deep exploration of dark electronic music. Rooted in classic industrial and dark ambient traditions, yet with a very personal and forward thinking approach. At its core lies the theme of spiritual belonging, and the album presents a bold, cinematic soundscape. “Magnor” represents both a place, a direction and a state, to be determined by the listener. Let this soundtrack be a compass, and there will be countless treasures hidden all along the way. Challenging and rewarding. Patience is a virtue…

Composed and matured over several years, “Magnor” was crafted using analog and modular synthesizers, minimal post-production, and a strong focus on structure, dynamics, and atmosphere. The music is performed rather than programmed, lending it a sense of presence and authenticity to it, forming a crucial part of the album's character.

Kristoffer Oustad is a Norwegian musician, know from V:28, Kristoffer Nyströms Orkester and Plague Machinery. He is currently working under his own name and Stromstad (collaboration with finnish industrial titans STROM.ec).
