Capa 

CAPA is a Chillout project by Norwegian composer Vidar Nord, a producer with an extensive background in songwriting for artists and music production for advertising, television and film.
This project is particularly based upon voice manipulation, it’s about finding unique phrases or sounds when the calculated is being twisted and bent to the uncalculated. Changing conventional ideas around form and structure into a synthetic soundscape.

The album “Capa II” was signed to Lemongrassmusic in summer 2013 and was Capa’s first release on the label, followed by the album “Epiphany” in 2015 and another 5 albums and 3 EPs until 2022.

The album “Birds Of Passage” marks a new course with a different way of making music and sound signatures by composing without a given tempo, free from quantized midi-programming and click-recording giving the listener and composer freedom to experiment and experience further into the abstract universe of sound and melody.
