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 .  This article on a musician is a stub .
