UPDATES:
Aug 2007: Played the Oslo Jazz Festival, TOU Scene in Stavanger and Klubb Kanin Trondheim. Played Stralau 68 and Salon Bruit in Berlin, as well as AZ Conni in Dresden. Several recordings to emerge, check myspace for excerpts. The Stavanger night (or_/boe with Pål Asle Pettersen, Iversen/Bjerga and or_/tacet with Nils Henrik Asheim was rapidly bootlegged by the infamous "Hva med å tilberede på hvanlig 'pølsemåt' dampe dem eller trekke de i godt 'pølse vann' records". e.xtrem t.on MP3 EP >>> 'It opens with a short plinking competition before sliding into more complex work, the bass offering slides, pulses (that seem looped), plucking and soft scraping while Boe pops, clicks, and percusses. The tracks can be identified as the structure changes - the pulsing loop is played with rapid percussions, a drone accompanies an earthquake of contact miking, a more abstract bass solo or the toy piano (or plucked tight strings in the box) with similar sounds from the bass. This is a very nicely paced album - well considered changes and combinations, with the two artists working off each other. The acoustic warmth of the bass is a great boon, balancing the shorter harsher acoustic laptop material.' - Ampersand Etc. 'As Origami Tacet, Tore Honore Boe played with Michael F. Duch. The latter plays double bass and Boe his acoustic laptop - which is a suitcase full of small acoustic objects and contactmicrophones. This recording was may in Dresden earlier this year, at the 'E.xtrem T.on' festival/event and during some twenty minutes the two play a thoughtful piece of music - of a more sorrowful nature. There is 'Elegy For Tony Wilson' (who died a week earlier), 'Glass On The Beach', 'Nick Cage' and 'Einstein At The Zoo' - I have no idea why it lists four pieces, as there is only one on the release, but perhaps there are four distinct parts. It's always not clear with improvised music when things start and stop, but the controlled improvisation of these two is quite nice too.' - Frans DeWaard, Vital Weekly 604 See live pics / See press release + hi-res photos Listen in myspace / Find more mp3s |
