Inspired by voyages, lighthouses and history Northern Lighthouse makes electronic music using samplers, tape, guitar pedals, modular and keyboard synths. 

overdriven dreams

is the moniker of Uroš Kostić, an ambient composer from Niš, Serbia. After many years of studying the potential of his main instrument and various other devices throughout work with several bands and projects, most prominently with the post-rock band There., he started utilizing those sounds in his solo work. 

overdriven dreams seeks to bring the infinite sound fields of phantasmagoric dreams to life. In the process, he relies primarily on experimentation in the field of post-minimalism, drone, and ambient by working with 4-track cassette tape loops, field recordings, and reel-to-reel tape loops. His pieces are characterized by deep ostinato lines and meandering lush textures permeated with string instruments, pianos, and choirs. For his album “symphony // of // murmurings” which was released by the Netherlands label Slow Tone Collages he collaborated with one of the most prolific experimental artists Lawrence English as a mastering engineer. 

In a short time, he established himself as one of the currently most active ambient musicians in the Balkan region, above all at numerous performances around Europe, where he shared the stage with well-known artists such as Pan-American (ex-Labradford), Alison Cotton, and Wojciech Rusin. 

A smooth and long dive into the depths 

of the sounds around us, analog effects 

and tape world, otherworldly noises and 

opaque, barely perceptible vibrations. 10/10 – NoiseMe 

This is a prime 31-minute track, starting 

slow and soft, building gradually. 

Numerous sounds slowly layer themselves in; 

some are voices and others are familiar 

but not quite identifiable – somewhat musical 

and somewhat otherworldly - Tuning to obscure

Northern Lighthouse

Born in Bologna (IT), based in Brussels (BE), he started releasing tracks in 2014 in the windy and cold northeast of England where he lived for a few years. 

His music combines elements of ambient, lo-fi electronic music and field recordings: soundscapes with a nostalgic and emotive atmosphere paying tribute to distant memories and remoted and isolated places.
