About

Distant Fields is an online collaborative record by two musicians who've never met in person. Pianist Julia Gjertsen (Oslo, Norway) and electronic musician & visual artist Nico Rosenberg (Santiago, Chile) discovered each other's music on James Heather's show Moving Sounds and began exchanging ambient sketches and piano layers shortly thereafter. Together they've created a 'slowed down sonic universe' with the aim of finding peace in a distant world. “You don’t have to know each other, or physically be at the same place in order to connect musically” says Gjertsen.

Julia Gjertsen is a musician/pianist/producer based in Oslo. Her music is centered around piano layers evolving into ambient soundscapes. “Combining and organising piano parts with other textural elements in a minimalist way” is how she describes her composing process. Nico Rosenberg is an electronic music composer, visual creator and psychologist from Santiago, Chile. His sound is distinguished by the use of textures, string quartets and probabilistic algorithms.
