BJ NILSEN / HAZARD

BJ NILSEN lives and works in Stockholm, Sweden. Influenced by the early pioneers of tape manipulation, he released his first recordings at the age of 15. In 1996, Nilsen adopted the moniker Hazard, recording for the seminal UK experimental labels Touch and Ash International. His work focuses upon the sound of nature and its effect on humans; and through an electronic abstraction of field recordings, Nilsen manipulates the perception of time and space as experienced through sound.

He had collaborated with Chris Watson, Stilluppsteypa, Fennesz, Z'ev, and many others.

BJ Nilsen performed at 23five's Tenth Annual Activating The Medium festival in 2007.
