Year 2014. Stavanger, Norway. That’s where the idea of an experimental music project called t dot est has been brought to life. Its name can be interpreted as a test or dealing with something. It’s not surprising therefore why the man behind the project prefers anonymity – when others are concentrating on documenting their lives on social media, he is focusing on building a concept of a new album. His music is a mixture of IDM, electronica, ambient with a hint of jazz and classical sounds.
t dot est wants the productions to be like good films and books – musical stories with the beginning and the end. That’s the main reason the works has the topical threads – for example there’s a DYSTOPIAN Thread (albums like BLMRVRSD, DSTPNPLS, FRMTHDSTNT), ANOTN (albums like Project Anton, PA2, re: Anton, A40) and Travel Thread (albums like NORDSTEPS, B in, DOT). Each of those threads is characterized by recording and production technique as well as compositions assumptions. The other important part of those threads are graphics commonly made by well-educated artists from Academy Of Fine Arts.
