Magnus Moriarty™
Magnus Moriarty is the main project of Magnus Nielsen. He debuted in 2001 with the album Drive fast slow right left. He spends half his year at a cemetery in Oslo, where he’s digging holes and plants flowers. During the winter he spends his time in the studio where he lives out the myth of the decadent artist through which he planting seeds for new music. The combination of down to earth, hard, honest work and musical exploits that include absinth, violin and 12-string guitars make their mark on the music. His lyrics are inspired by beat-literature and they are accompanied by melodies that brings to mind both the past, the present and the future. The Middle Ages, The Space age and the Nuclear age are all represented in Magnus Moriarty universe. Beautiful folk-like melodies commute between the close and the intergalactic, and although the sun may shine upon the cemetery, darkness is lurking six feet down.

Magnus Moriarty™
Magnus Moriarty™ er hovedprosjektet til Magnus Nielsen, Han debuterte i 2001 med plata Drive fast slow right left. Halvparten av året tilbringer han ved en kirkegård der han graver hull i jorda og planter blomster. I vinterhalvåret er han i studioet, der han stadig spiller inn ny musikk og lever ut myten om den dekadente bohemtilværelsen som gir næring til nye plater. Denne kombinasjonen av jordnært, hardt og ærlig arbeid og kunstneriske utskeielser som inkluderer absinth, fiolin og 12-strengsgitarer setter sitt preg på musikken. Tekstene er tydelig inspirert av beat-litteratur og akkompagneres av melodier som bringer tankene både fremover og bakover i tid. Middelalderen, romalderen og atomalderen er alle representert i Magnus Moriartys univers. Nydelige folkemusikk-aktige melodier pendler mellom det nære og det intergalaktære, og selvom solen skulle skinne på gravlunden truer alltid et mørke seks fot ned.
