The Field is a techno artist based in Stockholm, Sweden. "The Field" is the moniker of writer and composer Axel Willner.

Background

In 2005, Willner submitted a demo tape to the German indie label Kompakt and was subsequently signed. He released his first 12", a demo mixtape of Annie's "Heartbeat" in 2005 as well as a 12" featuring the track "Things Keep Falling Down". In 2006, "Sun & Ice" 12" was released.

Later in 2007, Wilner became the first musician to take part in the Nordic Light Hotel's "Sound of Light" concept. After staying at the hotel, Wilner used the experience as the basis for his EP of the same name. [http://www.nordiclighthotel.se/en/Experience-the-hotel/Sound-of-Light--The-Field/]

Willner uses the software Jeskola Buzz, mixing and recording tracks live for each album. [http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/feature/42128-interview-the-field]

"The Field" is not Axel Willner's only moniker. He also writes music under stage names Lars Blek, porte, Cordouan and James Larsson. He's also was a member of Speedwax. [http://www.autresdirections.net/article.php3?id_article=92]
