Swedish producer Boerd\u00a0(or B\u00e5rd) is set to release mini-LP \u2018Static\u2019 via\u00a0Anjunadeep Record, in early April. He recently releases the single \u2018Blind\u2019 taken from the LP.<\/h4>\n

Exploring dark and beautiful music, he refers to as \u2018a sound of beautiful sadness\u2019, he tells us more about his classical influences, what we can expect from his LP and more.<\/p>\n

What was the inspiration behind \u2018<\/strong>Blind<\/a>\"\"\u2019? Is it based on personal experiences? Where else do you draw inspiration from?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The inspiration for the lyrics is based on personal experiences. The music, I\u2019ve been wanting to move away from the all-electronic. I\u2019ve been listening to a lot of trip-pop from the UK recently and that\u2019s part of the musical inspiration. As for the lyrics, it came after the song. The lyrics came from personal experiences. I draw my inspiration from both my personal stories as well as general things. I try not to tell specific stories, but try to capture the feeling of the story.<\/p>\n

Does the track come with a message? Do all the tracks on <\/strong>‘Static<\/a>\"\"‘<\/strong> come with a similar message?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a song about feeling vulnerable. When you\u2019re in a relationship- romantic or otherwise- it can be dark sometimes, yet really beautiful. It\u2019s a bittersweet song.<\/p>\n

The rest of the tracks, they might come with a similar message. Most of my music is instrumental, so I don\u2019t really think about conveying something specific. But I try to capture a beautiful sadness in my music.

What gave you the idea for the script \u2013 to use a car and road to symbolize relationships- of the music video? <\/strong><\/p>\n

It was my friend who also stars in the video- the guy driving the car \u2013 he said that the song is really good for listening to in the car, and that\u2019s where the idea for the music video initially came from. Then I came up with the idea of the music video showcasing two people in a car where something feels a bit off in their relationship. It just came together naturally I think \u2013 combining the aspect of driving in a car with a relationship- it went well together. We actually hadn\u2019t decided on the specifics of it, the video was recorded in one day and a lot of it was improvised, even though I wrote the script.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
