Tomas Nordmark
Tomas Nordmark (born in Västervik 1982) is a Swedish musician, composer and producer of experimental music who lives and works in London.[1] In 2012 Nordmark co-founded the artist collective Ingrid together with artists such as Lykke Li, Peter Bjorn & John and Miike Snow but left the collective the following year. He has also worked as a graphic designer for many musical artists most notably for El Perro Del Mar on her Pale Fire and Kokoro albums.[2] In 2019 Nordmark released the album "Eternal Words." It was inspired by Mark Fisher's “spectres of lost futures,” and is partly based on traditional Scandinavian music and hymns.[3] It was released by the American music entrepreneur, writer and musician Nabil Ayers's Valley of Search label, a sister label to The Control Group. The album was described by The Guardian's John Lewis as “a heavenly, palate-cleansing series of minty-fresh synthesised drones and bleeps that manage to tell stories that resolve without even hinting at melody” [4] and The New York Times's music critic Jon Pareles described the composition "Human" as “a meditative, nearly ambient foundation: sustained, consonant tones like distant horns. But the foreground is jittery, full of unpredictable, glassy tones that briefly hover, then disappear”.[5] In 2019 Nordmark also collaborated with film and opera director Glen Sheppard [6] from the English National Opera with the experimental avant-garde opera Außer Sich which was based on Richard Strauss's opera Salome and re-composed by Nordmark.
