What is the sound of light?

 Nordic Light Hotel has invited The Field, one of the electronic music world's most interesting artists, to answer the question. The result is a sublime music experience that reflects twenty-four hours, produced by the Nordic Light Hotel.

”Sound of Light” is the name of the hotel's music concept. Light has always been a central part of the Nordic Light Hotel, and to have light as a holistic basis for the music was therefore natural. To create music inspired by light was however only the point of departure of the project – the objective was to characterise the entire hotel through music.

In order to succeed with this ambition, the hotel decided to invite a number of artists and let them interpret a hotel experience at the Nordic Light Hotel – and to then to make a recording. One artist for each record, so that each artist may have scope for an entire interpretation. The concept is a framework within which the artist may move freely and independently.

The Field

The first artist to take part in the ”Sound of Light” is Axel Willner, better known as The Field. The Field is one of today's most interesting artists within electronic music. In order to be with the Nordic Light Hotel, he has taken a break from his constant DJ assignments around the world. The impressions he took from his stay at the Nordic Light Hotel formed the basis of his interpretation. The record is divided into four different parts – morning, day, evening and night – so as to cover all aspects of the light and the hotel.

One record is ready, but for the ”Sound of Light” this is only the beginning.

”Sound of Light by The Field” has been produced in cooperation with Heartbeats International and will be sold at the reception of the Nordic Light Hotel and at Nitty Gritty at Krukmakargatan 24-26 in Stockholm. For international sales, please contact the reception.
