Nucleus

Artist: Magnus Lassila
Release Year: 2010

Description: Nucleus is a collection of musical seeds — the early cores of ideas that would grow into something larger.
Recorded mostly directly to tape with minimal tools and no pretense, these tracks represent the beginnings of a long journey into ambient music and musique naivée.
Each piece is a sketch, but a living one: fragile, sincere, and quietly self-aware. There’s no posturing, just exploration.
Tape hiss, lo-fi textures, and moments of accidental beauty are part of the language here — and none of it asks for polish.
This is the sound of learning by doing, of discovering not just how to make ambient music, but why. These aren’t songs in search of structure. They are nuclei — full of potential, and still pulsing.
