PER GISLE GALÅEN / LASSE MARHAUG
In Store
(Humbug) Used CDR $3.00

This Is Handiwork
(Humbug) Used CD $5.00
Bjørnar Habbestad on flutes, electronics and digitals, Morton Ohlsen on drums, and Nicolas Field also on drums play “extreme improvised noise,” according to Vital. On “It’s Benign,” “the high-pitched electronics bounce from left to right, with the drums sounded in a true cut up style. In none of the other nine tracks do they let the listener down. The sound level is cranked up, very vibrant and noisy. Certainly not improvised music for the weak at heart.”
Having It Out
(Humbug) LP (lathe cut) $18.00
Densely layered, swirling sound constructions made of nondescript scrapes and buzzes, feedback, self-made motor mallet instruments, metal sheets, field recordings, and loops from old 78s. Ruchalski has a way of bringing real life to inanimate objects, letting them breathe, sigh or sing in their own peculiar, rustic way. Paste-on jacket

Vertonen

Frans De Waard working out drones from very limited sonic material, transformed and augmented by electronics in short pieces that sound more like vignettes, miniature landscapes of a region of the artist’s imagination. From 2002
