One dark and snow-stormy day in the winter of 1997, Alog was born in a basement of a Kindergarten in Tromsoe - a city located in the far north of Norway. This day a string of happy coincidences led Espen Sommer Eide and Dag-Are Haugan to meet up for a session of tablas and guitar, of which they had no idea would evolve into a creative burst of ideas, involving all kinds of found instruments and collected sounds. The set of 4-track recordings of these dark-but-warm winter constellations eventually made it onto Alog's debut release on Rune Grammofon, entitled Red Shift Swing . In 2001 they followed up with the critically acclaimed Duck-Rabbit CD, and january 2005 saw the release of a cd on Rune Grammfon entitled Miniatures that won the norwegian grammy award that year.
December 2005 Alog released a collection of found tracks from 1998-2005 on the record label Melektronikk, called "Catch that Totem! (1998-2005)"
Then they released is a 12" vinyl EP on Creaked Records entitled: "Islands of Memory" - myspace.com/creakedrecords and an LP on EN/OF entitled: "Just recording"
Now, 23. april 2007 they released their latest installment on Rune Grammofon: "Amateur" - a double vinyl and cd release.
Howdy! Thank's for acceptin' this Texas Longhorn on your grazin' pastures! When Columbus arrived to America he noticed that the Norwegians were allready there. Bein' the most western of the American tribes, the Norwegians actually had two or three of their folks on Columbus' first journey. "Ah", he shouted, "enfin (at last) - India!" He didn't take any heed of the corrections: "No, sir! We're in Tromsö!" And thus - ignorin' some vital information (as usual) - history was written.
