Indieclimb (Martin Fjeld) returns with “LEGACY,” an electrifying and thought-provoking single that plunges listeners into the depths of a dystopian reality. Fresh off the success of his award-winning music video “LET ME GO,” Indieclimb pushes the boundaries of cinematic electronica, crafting a soundscape that mirrors the chaos and unrest of our times. From the very first note, “LEGACY” grips the senses, pulling the listener into an auditory whirlwind that is as unsettling as it is mesmerizing.

Drawing from the turbulence of global events, Fjeld masterfully translates societal tension into music. The song pulses with haunting synths, reverberating bass, and industrial beats that echo the world’s unrest. The layering of sounds feels deliberate—each element a carefully constructed piece of an intricate puzzle. As the track builds, tension thickens, mirroring the growing uncertainty of the times we live in. The result is a sonic masterpiece that doesn’t just entertain but also challenges the listener to reflect on the legacy we leave behind.

Beyond its compelling composition, “LEGACY” resonates on an emotional level. Indieclimb’s signature dark, introspective tones are ever-present, inviting listeners into a deeply personal space of contemplation. This is not just a song; it is an experience—one that lingers long after the final note fades. The seamless blend of cinematic and electronic elements makes “LEGACY” a standout track, not just within his discography but within the broader electronic music landscape.

As part of his upcoming album “FEMME,” “LEGACY” offers a glimpse into the artist’s evolving creative vision. It is a track that showcases his ability to balance depth with accessibility, making it appealing to both loyal fans and new listeners alike. The song’s pulsating energy makes it a perfect fit for late-night drives, immersive headphone sessions, and even club settings where deep, atmospheric beats thrive.

With “LEGACY,” Indieclimb proves once again that music can be more than just a sound—it can be a powerful medium for introspection and social commentary. This track isn’t just a reflection of the world’s chaos; it’s a call to acknowledge it, process it, and ultimately, find meaning within it.

Acclaimed composer and arranger Christian Balvig is known for his work with an array of artists and bands like Jade, Efterklang, Lowly, When Saints Go Machine and Mew, as well as his work with some of the most acclaimed orchestras like Royal Northern Sinfonia (BBC Proms), The Royal Danish Orchestra, Copenhagen Phil, London Contemporary Orchestra, The Danish Radio Broadcast Orchestra and The Norwegian Wind Ensemble.

The cinematic sound on his new album might echo Balvig’s work in the world of film and TV music. Scoring the 2025 Oscar shortlisted short movie ‘Eternal Father’ and the Danish hit series ‘Cry Wolf’ (Ulven Kommer), which has been shown on television in more than 30 countries around the globe, including Channel 4 in the UK. He was also nominated for a Harpa award for ‘Best score’ last year at the Berlinale for ‘The Son and the Moon (Min Arv Bor I Dig)’.

Balvig’s new album, ‘Find And You Will Seek’, backed by Danish string group Ensemble Hermes, grew organically out of this background of experiences and is music that appeals to listeners seeking original, immersive music with space for reflection and contemplation.

‘Find And You Will Seek’ is a collection of chamber works that explore the combination of piano and strings in new ways. Recent single ‘The BirdSuite II – Praesentia’ is part of a 3-part Suite running throughout the record, written and performed on a custom made “Keybird” piano, which is an una-corda (one string pr note) piano that gives a more subtle and intimate sound. On top of it is a lush and emotional string ensemble arrangement with Ensemble Hermes in multiple layers fluctuating in and out of the keybird piano.

Balvig’s second single from the record is ‘What Happened To The World’, an ultra transparent neo-classical inspired piece, with slow melodic structures, a simple chord progression and emotional performance starting with a floating viola solo. It is written from the feeling that the world sometimes goes backwards, and you feel left on the platform wanting to take the train in a different direction.

From film music inspired pieces to experimental chamber music over piano concerto inspired movements, to more neo-classical productions with almost orchestral sounding dubs of strings, ‘Find And You Will Seek’ flows with emotions and lush sound worlds, always with a tangible organic texture.
