Forest Lore by Yggdrasil

The inspiration for Yggdrasil lives somewhere between eco-anxiety and quiet awe — a sonic love letter to the natural world, written by someone who knows we're the ones ruining the ending. I'm fascinated by the contradiction at the core of being human: we bulldoze forests for shopping centres, then write poems about trees. I try to make music that sits right in that contradiction — messy, beautiful, conflicted.

It’s ambient music with dirt under its nails — organic, glitchy, a bit haunted, but trying its best to make peace with the world it comes from.

I take field recordings out of the North Sea coast and the woodlands of Essex and East Anglia — particularly, the weird, damp, haunted places. I build piano loops, gentle and fragile, and then feed them through eurorack and pedal chains. In the end, I forget how they sounded in the beginning. They become lost. That's usually when the tracks start taking form and I can then shape them to reflect the places or feelings that inspired them.
