“One Step Closer to the Abyss” on tour in Finland

‘One Step Closer to the Abyss’ is a musical collaboration between London-based composer and musician Tomas Nordmark and Paris-based musician and artist Per Hüttner, both originally from Sweden. On ‘One Step Closer to the Abyss’ the electronic music is improvised in a digital environment. The two artists have been inspired from the British cultural theorist Mark Fisher and his publication ‘‘The Weird and The Eerie’ (2017). The music is not only improvised but also, using bespoke hard- and software, modulated in real time from a participant’s brainwaves for an additional layer of spontaneity. The recording was made at Permian, a microscopic venue for improvised music situated in a basement in the Tokyo ward Shinagawa. The pulse from the Japanese capital is thereby also present in the recorded improvisation, filtered down to a slow, modulated and minimalistic, dub-oriented ambient soundscape.

‘One Step Closer to the Abyss’ will be available for streaming and on vinyl from April 24:th 2026.

The dates for the Finnish tour are:
- Black Sheep Pub, Jakobstad, 20.00, April 29.
- Ääniasema festival, Jyväskylä, (Time TBA) May 1.
- Digelius, Helsinki, 15.00, May 2.
