Oslo-based composer and director Martin Fjeld, known under the moniker Indieclimb, is making an impact in the world of cinematic electronic music. Pairing atmospheric soundscapes with sonic storytelling, his work bridges the emotional quality of Nils Frahm with the expansive energy of M83 to create something entirely new.
Initially working as a freelance director, he pivoted to music in 2017, unveiling his sonic vision with his debut EP, Neonlights Forever. Since then, he’s continued to develop his musical output, releasing tracks such as “Dreamboy,” “Black Horses,” featuring Lucy La Dusk and the award-winning “LET ME GO.” More recently, he linked up with Tricky of Massive Attack, further confirming his status in the electronic music sphere.
Alongside his music, Indieclimb directs his own music videos, creating a fully immersive experience that complements his sonic world. With an innate ability to translate emotion into sound and visuals, he offers engrossing artistic moments that have won over fans around the world.
Now, he returns with “LEGACY,” the latest single from his forthcoming debut full-length record titled FEMME. Expanding on his cinematic electronic style, “LEGACY” casts a dark, dystopian atmosphere wrapped in pulsating electronic textures. Reflecting on the turbulence of modern times, the track is a sonic response to global unrest; wars, economic instability and social uncertainty. Indieclimb describes his inspiration, explaining, “These days feel dystopian. With everything happening globally, I kept thinking about the legacy we’re creating. The rumbling sounds of the world, the ongoing screams, the chaos—I tried to channel all of it through the song’s soundscape.”
A natural progression from “LET ME GO,” “LEGACY” leans further into brooding electronic landscapes, capturing a sense of urgency and tension. Brought in by the zap of a bright synth tone, warm organ textures stretch out below to create an intriguing contrast as the lead notes flutter round the mix, resulting in a misty electronic scene that develops with the steady patter of percussion.
Flowing with an array of colourful synth timbres and danceable rhythms all wrapped up in enveloping sound design, “LEGACY” serves up an engrossing slice of euphoric electronic music that unfolds across an epic seven minute voyage. As he continues to go from strength to strength on his exciting musical adventure, we can’t wait to see what Indieclimb has in store for the rest of 2025 and beyond.
