SOUND

Industrial music with a pocket trumpet: Perhaps an apt description of US American producer Monika Khot alias Nordra’s approach to music. She attained fame as one half of the noise rock duo Zen Mother. In her solo project Nordra she processes brass instruments, softly echoing and distorted guitars, imploring windswept vocals and noises from analogue synthesizers, and self-soldered electronic instruments into sublime soundscapes—vast, dazzling, hovering, sparkling with strange little reflections of light. The right drugs? Think mushrooms or datura.
