Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of taking part in the 2025 Norbergfestival Remix Competition, a unique opportunity to engage with a global community of experimental and electronic artists. The competition, organized in collaboration with Lamour Records and XLN Audio, invited musicians from all over the world to reinterpret a set of stems in their own sonic language.
Under the name Sad Black Goat, I submitted a remix rooted in bleak atmospheres, noisy textures, and the raw emotion that defines my work. While I did not make it into the top 10, I was honored to be ranked 45th among dozens—if not hundreds—of international submissions, and to be listed among many talented and inspiring artists.
Competitions like these are more than just rankings. They’re moments of reflection, experimentation, and visibility. For an outsider artist working in the shadows of depressive noise and ambient blackness, it’s encouraging to know that my sound reached the ears of an international jury and became part of the festival’s artistic landscape—even if only briefly.
I want to thank the Norbergfestival team, Lamour Records, and the jury for making space for such diverse sonic expressions. And congratulations to the winners—your work is stunning and well-deserved.
This experience only fuels my desire to go deeper. Sad Black Goat continues.
