Norwegian poet Øivind Rimbereid has been working with us over a period of time to find the right tone for his wonderful, epic sci-fi poem Solaris Korrigert

A full length album is scheduled for release around Christmas 2011.
Some shots from the recording sessions of the readings

There might be the occasional show here and there, but no elaborate touring is in the works at the moment.

We like it a lot ! Feel free to roll your own !
We will try to hunt down a few and present them on this page. Send us an email if you think we have overlooked a gem or two.

Lets see

Joy comes in the Morning

Mon Amour

Comatose Luck

Devious Dan -seen the animation before, eh ? corporate label f**k up, is why !

Sports, Not Heavy Crime

Devious Dan yet again !

Tintinnamputation

And then there was the superbly nice Lexicon PCM reverb. A bit on the expensive side, but when you consider ( hear ) the algorithms and realize that you may use as many instances as your hardware can muster, simultaneously,  it really is a bargain. Compare it with the price of the hardware, yes ? Which really is just the same algorithms with an added AD / DA stage…

Another Lexicon clone / emulation / hommage also emerged during the summer. LX 480
We haven’t really got the chance to test this properly, but the initial impression is very very good.

Favourite reverb at the moment ? Bricasti All though its a bit hard to justify the investment…why couldn’t they also make this as a plug in ?

The Devious Dan EP / single is a collection of leftovers, forgetfulness, remakes, whims and some new stuff.
The Devious Dan track itself is somewhat inspired by the earlier Aphex Twin shenanigans, with impromptu melodic electronics and some dribbling beats. Golden oldie. There were even several videos made for the track, heres one :

Devious Dan viddi

Apart from the Dan, the EP has some tracks that were originally written for Norwegian poets Jan Erik Vold and John Erik Riley , commisioned by the Norwegian magazine Vinduet back in 2002 or so.  On the Devious Dan EP, these tracks are featured without the vocals, if we are able to dig up the tracks with the poets on top, we will post them here. ( Don´t hold your breath )

Then there is a remix or remake if you will, of a track from the Doncamatic singalongs album. Rewritten for 4 pedal steel guitars. Great for lucid dreaming or funerals. Check it out

Here is another track,The Coma That Failed, that has been a work in progress over quite a few years. Somehow it has gotten longer and longer as we have worked on it. I guess it was finally long enough, clocking in at about 10 minutes :

And here is a weirder one yet. The Great Plenty. Never seemed to fit in anywhere. Not sure if it do to this day. As charming as it is in all its beatdriven pastoral glory !

In sum : The EP contains tracks from 2001 to 2009. It sounds like its 3 different bands. But it´s not. We evolve. And revolve.

If people are interested, I am sure the whole EP is available online somewhere.
Or.
