AUTUMN 2007
origami tacet recently finished their NORDENTUR, and critical ears have guided what will soon be masters for some live and studio releases. Thanks to everyone for their support and being. Yes, we are looking for labels, check 'with asheim' and 'studio recording' clips in the player and contact us if you want to hear more.
Based on expanded and energetic use of acoustic double-bass - for which Duch recently received a Masters Degree, blended with the chaotic and trivial sounds coming out of the "acoustic laptop" and percussive tease-denials of Boe, this has been called a "rock´n´roll way to perform kunstmusik" and "cut-ups played live".
The duo is appearing on various formats in ultralimited editions and on compilations worldwide, sound qualities being a part of their workspace.
This invaluable recording of prepared piano and feedback clearly shows the origin of the great tradition that has earned Trondheim such status internationally. Buran is a part of the city inhabited by very old people and younger artists and academics. It is also an area close to the more famous "alternative" Svartla'mon, or Reina to be specific.
