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.
