Differing in instrumentation, even tonality, the electronic / classical spheres are nonetheless joined by thoughts, ideas.
The Erased Tapes stable have led the way, fostering a community where the viola can meet the sampler on equal terms. Now Norwegian composer Nils Bech has continued to break down boundaries, matching near ambient gaze to glitchy electronics.
It's a subtle, bewitching mixture.

Also a performance artist, the Norwegian artist recently shot a new video for 'When You Looked At Me'.
Featuring a carefully composed, gently executed dance routine you can watch the video below.
