Boe is a transmedia artist originating from Norway. He is partly to blame for what became known as "The Trondheim Scene", but now lives and works on the spanish Canary Islands. In his worklog there are no separation between conceptual art and sound making, as any means of expression become part of his general collage work.

He is usually performing live on his "homemade acoustic laptops"; wood boxes with tiny sound objects attached inside, and he often invites guests along (Lasse Marhaug and N.U. Unruh among them). He has toured extensively and is present on numerous releases with constellations of the Origami Republika open network, which he has coordinated since 1990.

From 1999-2004 he appeared under the artist name Tore Honoré Bøe, only to reappear as Origami Boe in 2004. After several cdrs and free mp3 albums he recorded the first proper Origami Boe cd with Boris Wilsdorf at "The Bunker" in Berlin, and he has supported Einstürzende Neubauten on several occasions (1997, 2000, 2004, 2008). >>> Español y cátalan

'...este artista podría ser considerado como la conexión entre Dadá, Merz o la larga tradición del collage y la música concreta: en ocasiones valiéndose de objetos cotidianos amplificados, en otras de grabaciones de campo y mediante el procesamiento de todo ello, Boe crea un sonido personal, cristalino y diáfano, construído a partir de elementos microfísicos, del azar y del riesgo. Un creador personal cuyo estilo es difícilmente comparable y cuya predilección por los formatos inusuales le ha llevado a trabajar con vinilos, disquetes o microcassettes. La singular belleza de su música responde a estas premisas, pero también a la atmósfera emocional de los espacios en que produce sus acciones en directo...'

Tore H. Bøe followed up his acclaimed cds Siesta and Zenography by recording a third more collagey album entitled Viscum Album, marking his move to another island as it was recorded in Trondheim and Arguineguín and intended for each side of an LP. Endgame is the full live recording from the last concert he ever did under that cameo, in Las Palmas 2003. These two works became sought after, only 22 copies of each was spread on cdr.

Both albums are now downloadable track-by-track or zipped with hi-res cd cover artwork from Ambolthue >>> download pages /// Viscum Album | Endgame + MO# Project Souvenir Web Album on TIBProd, ReProMotion (teaser from remix cdr by or_/maximalistika, MOLD)

"...recorded at his new home at canary islands, spain, it turns out to be a very strong and lively noise mayhem, to help you spend your vacations in real waves of joy… or should i credit it as ‘islas canarias noise’? top!"

"And it might be no surprise, at least to me it isn't, that the real king of Norwegian music and art is granted to be on this..."

"I found myself staring at the loudspeakers astouned. Luckily - today's rockers manage to breathe new life to contemporary music's ideas."

"The sounds posess a very natural inherent beauty, something that he is a very keen observer of."
