About Me

Nest was formed in summer '99 with the idea of making acoustic and ambient music to reflect the world of old fables, and folk tales. The idea of doing this had already been cooking in A.T.'s head for a couple of years, but it hadn't been realized until this point.
Between summer '99 and spring 2000 many songs were written. Four of these were recorded and released as Nest's first demo "Fabled Lore". Only the most worthwhile tunes were released and the rest were left to wait and mature.
In the time between summer and winter 2000 the composing and recording of new tunes continued. A Polish label, Thundra Records - a subsidiary of Fluttering Dragon, offered to release them on a SPLIT CD with Isafjord, a Norwegian melodic bm band. The SPLIT CD was released in autumn 2001. A.T. handled all of the visual artwork for both bands.
During the next couple of years new songs were constantly being composed. Nest also singed a deal with a Bulgarian label, Corvus records, who released Nest's first full-length CD in the beginning of 2003. Once again, A.T. cooked up the visual artwork.
2003 also sees Nest performing its first ever live gig. Something that seemed unbelievable just a couple of years ago. Here it begins.
