Niko Skorpio’s website was updated recently with plenty of new stuff: art gallery, interviews, free downloads etc.
Feel free to browse around for stuff you might not have seen, heard or read about yet. And there’s more to come…
Physical edition now available! CDR in dvd case with 4-page insert, all pro quality, hand-assembled with love and care. Strictly limited to 93 copies, hand-numbered.
Originally released as a limited edition CD licensed to another label in 2005, The Hidden Nameless finally returns home and gets an anticipated reissue on Niko Skorpio’s own label Some Place Else. It is perhaps the purest dark ambient album from Niko Skorpio, yet executed with an experimental and innovative angle. With certain haunting Lovecraftian flavour, the album captures the ears of imaginative listeners with its extreme deepness and desolate, otherworldly atmosphere.
The Hidden Nameless was created in 2003 & 2004 on various locations in and around Turku, Finland, employing sampler, location recordings, synth, bass guitar, dsp, percussion, cut-ups and vocals.
The reissue contains two additional, exclusive tracks not included in the first edition of this album. They date from the same period and utilize the same source material as the other tracks, but remained unfinished until autumn 2009.
The exclusive tracks are also available separately to download from Klicktrack.

Next up in my “free download campaign” is NeitherSphere ep. It’s my latest release and something I’m personally a lot more fond of than most older material (some of which we’ll return to later on). This ep used to be available for free in a lower bitrate, but now it’s all 320k q1 MP3.
NeitherSphere is related to the album Half Born in Half Light, and the “album version” included in this package is from that album. The 7″ shoplifters mix is somewhat similar to the live version played on the recent concerts. Karni Mata Dub, remixed by Karni Mata (obviously), approaches the original from a totally unexpected angle and, well, kicks ass in my not so humble opinion. 
On a related note, check out also the Rathood ep by Karni Mata, also available for free download!

I decided to begin uploading some stuff from the past for free download. First up is a mini-album from 2005, To give light to that which is without.
This release was inspired by and conceived in the post-Living Room limbo, a temporary state of darkness in the middle of the brightest summer. Tracks 1 and 3 were recorded in live performances during Spring 2005. Track 2 constructed from location recordings made in Spring & Summer 2005. Originally released on CDR as a limited edition of 93 copies, hand-numbered, in hand-painted sleeve.
More free downloads will appear here whenever I have the time for it, something every week if possible… Keep an eye on the site if you’re interested and feel free to spread the word & the musick.
