Its finally done and the sound sculpture lives! It premiered during the All Ears festival this past weekend, and was displayed on three different locations, following the festival around.

The sculpture consist of an audio piece loaded unto a usb-stick inside the cube (two outlets, as the other functions as a back-up). The audio piece is constructed from recordings taken under the process of making and destroying of a identical concrete cube.

This will be the only available copy of the audio piece, and will be available to the public via live performance or experiencing (or even buying) the cube itself.

My good friend Espen T. Hangård just released his debut album on Galleberg Forlag, and asked me to shoot his press photos. I also joined Are Mokkelbost, Spykidelic and him for two live shows - one in Oslo at Hærverk and the other in Tønsberg at Galleri Galleberg. My live performance was video documented and audio recorded if you feel like some eclectic electro sounds.

Director in charge, Charlotte Thiis-Evensen, together with architect, Carl-Viggo Hølmebakk.

So proud to have been part of this documentary series on Norwegian architects produced by NRK. For one year we’ve been traveling across the country exploring beautiful cabins embedded in various landscapes and terrain. I worked as a photographer on all six episodes and as an editor on two of them. Sadly only available for Norwegian audiences, but I’m certain that will change some day. Link if your lucky.

FAKE SKIES | DISTINCT HOWL

In the fall of 2017 James Welburn and Carsten Aniksdal each accepted an invitation from project developer Marieke Verbiesen at the Bergen Senter for Elektronisk Kunst (Bergen Center for Electroinc Art) to use their new sound production studio and initiate a mini-residency series called "BEK Studio Sessions". In short it was a one week residency at BEK where two musicians who have not worked together before can do a collaboration. Over the week long stay they extensively explored two ideas, resulting in a pair of lengthy experimental music compositions. 

The resulting material was successfully performed on Monday September 4th 2017 as part of an event series for new experimental art called 'Prøverommet' at Landmark, Bergen Kunsthall.

A few months later Welburn was approached by Italian tape label Subsidence about a possible release, he suggested the material from the BEK Studio Sessions and the duo met again to further hone down the two compositions. Meeting first at NOTAM Studio in Oslo, then followed by subsequent collaborative editing sessions in both their respective private studios in Lillehammer and Oslo, they slowly refined the material down into two compact, dense and deeply produced 8 minute tracks.

Released June 6, 2018 on Subsidence records.

Burning Guitar docu.jpg

This autumn I was asked by Christian Tony Norum if I would like to be a part of a group exhibition he was hosting at the Munch Museum where he was doing a collaboration with the ongoing Jorn+Munch exhibition. My contribution was a video titled Burning guitar. The idea was to film and record the sound a of burning guitar, isolating the destructive crescendo from live performances. Many thanks to Espen T. Hangård for making the open power chord to initiate the sound, and to Rudi Simmons, Steinar E. Rossing, John Chr. Gulliksen and Oslo Brann- og redningsetat for helping me out. Please contact me for link and password to the video.
