Odd Nosdam, real name David Madson, visual artist, DJ, record producer and member of the Anticon hip hop collective. Madson has performed in, produced and designed cover art for the alternative hip-hop bands Greenthink, cLOUDDEAD and Reaching Quiet, as well as releasing a variety of solo works, including "Burner" (2005, Anticon), "No More Wig For Ohio" (2003, Anticon), "Reject Odd Nosdam" (2001, self released), and Plan 9, Meat Your Hypnotis... (1999, self released). Nosdam has toured with, remixed, produced, mixed and collaborated with a wide variety of artists including: Boards of Canada, Mike Patton, Mum, Jessica Bailiff, Thee More Shallows, Serena Maneesh, Jel, Why?, Fog, Dosh, Sole, Alias, Hood, Peeping Tom (album)
Most of his early works were released initially only on a limited number of hand-made cassettes and distributed entirely through the internet and tape trading, the cLOUDDEAD s/t LP Plan 9, Meat Your Hypnotis... were created during the winter of 1998 into the spring of 1999 using only a Dr. Sample, a cassette deck, and his "trusty" Tascam 8-Track. The re-release of the 55-track beat tape by Mush kept all of the original clicks, pops, tape noise, and hiss intact. Odd Nosdam's musical style is heavily influenced by ambient soundscapes, 70's dub, late 80's/early 90's hip hop production as well as indie rock, preferring older musical equipment (Dr. Sample Sp-202, E-MU SP1200), to create a rounded, warm mush of sound fortified with inspired beats.
His chosen pseudonym is a play on the name of the Norwegian artist Odd Nerdrum, combined with his last name backwards.

I"m off to watch Russell Brand tonight, �15 to listen to him talk about his ballbags for 2 hours, phew! I"ll let you know, what I thought of it).

Hey David,
I know i'm only on your top friends list by default, but I truly am honoured.
And confused, why does it say your unsigned and your site doesn't seem to have been visited. Is it a new profile?
In any case, your a big inspiration and glad to be a friend.
I'm an artist from UK, if you ever need any promotional artwork let me know I've got a huge back catalogue and can design to order. I'm willing to be paid in music!
Also if you get the chance i'd very much like to hear your thoughts on my music.
I think you might like.
Take care Joss R(outled)ge
