Sindre Bjerge - Nowhereandnowhereelse (CDr on Sonic Oyster)
This single piece was recorded live in Warsaw in 2010 and clocks in at just under thirty minutes. Here Sindre is summoning ghosts buried deep in magnetic tape, using Dictaphones, feedback and lord knows what. The results are unsettling drones and hums, distant creaks, strange frequencies and the sounds of plankton having a rave while toucans try and battle them off the decks armed with blowpipes that shoot out ever-lasting gobstoppers. Bizarre samples/ loops are employed/ deployed creating strange and mysterious audio environs. Some things are really deep in the mix and sometimes I'm wondering if what I'm hearing is just my imagination... Who Knows??? Edition of 50 copies.
SINDRE BJERGA has been touring the UK every October for the last 5 years, as well as mainland Europe and even Russia, with his cassette player drones and kitchen sink psychedelia... armed with an array of tape players, dictaphones and a pile of less-than-glamourous sound debris from the sonic junkyards, as he tries to juxtapose and melt sound ghosts hidden deep in the molten magnetic tapes, sometimes forcefeeding them with sheets of feedback from dying amps, always aiming for that mind-altering head trip...
He has released over a 100 records as a solo artist and in a variety of collaborations, most notably with Jan Iversen.
Recently most of his releases have been live recordings taken from his many concerts and tours around Europe: 'nowhereandnowhereelse' is taken from a performance in the Art Academy in Warsaw, 2010.
