My first solo LP, "Reverse the Night", is out now on Droehnhaus!
They describe the album like this:
Clear, cold! These droning soundscapes from north are a very own interpretation of experimenting on sound. Much reduced - reaching intensity!
A fantastic listening experience!
An experimental soundtrack for your mind!
The album comes in a black sleeve with inlay, sticker and print, and with stamped labels.
Many thanks to Alwin at Droehnhaus for all his great work on this LP!

"Liber Null" (C29 tape) released by the New York label Anathema Sound.
In the words of Anathema:
Norway’s twilight traveler Andreas Brandal is a sound craftsman of the highest order, using anything and everything as his source material. Liber Null is his harrowing descent into total aural blackness inspired by occult rituals and chaos magic. Creaks of old furniture, hum of the wilderness, static from old cassettes—all of it is buried deep within a bubbling sonic stew that boils over with the slow burn of synth, guitar, and some of the most menacing trumpet drones you’ll ever hear. Listen close and repeatedly, if you dare, as bleak, new flourishes continue reveal themselves and the ancient spirits threaten to take you down even further. With full color artwork, inserts, and labels by Matt Yacoub.

"Send In the Vutures" is out now on the UK label Scrape Tapes. The origins of this album stretch back to the recording sessions for "The Dead Station" which started in 2007. A muddy collection of noise, loops, drone and ambient.
From the label:
"Just like a pack of vultures picking apart a deceased carcuss, Brandal cuts loops and sounds to form collages of experimental yet highly stark noise that drifts into dark ambient territories. Send In The Vultures is a collection of four long pieces with layered assemblages of cut-up noise, drones, field recordings, feedback and tapeloops, with hints of ghostly apparations appearing through the cracks."
Limited to a hand numbered edition of 100 copies. Labeled disc comes packaged in a black glossy card sleeve with pro-printed front and back covers, sealed in a plastic wallet.
My new album "Jernvognen" is out now on Tape Drift.
The label presents the album like this:
(TD 23) Andreas Brandal - "Jernvognen" cdr.
Established sound artist and drone/noise musician Andreas Brandal graces us with this release from deep in the heart of Norway. Dark and ominous, with deep doom-laden bass tones, powerful drones, and beautiful hints of noise lurking in every corner. Inspired by an old Norwegian crime/ghost story (translated to the "The Iron Wagon"), Brandal's command here is staggering, displaying a control over each sound, and wrapping it all up with an organic feel and sustained attention to compositional dynamics throughout. The immersive sounds are at turns soothing, frightening and probing, suggesting a journey into the abyss, but guided by the confident hands of a sheer master.

Split with Ian Holloway on the Lithuanian label Agharta
Here's what the label says:
Andreas Brandal “Ritual’ / Ian Holloway “The Prescient Machine” c60
Norvegian A. Brandal is experimenting with sound from the end of the 80’s. In this work his experience is conveyed by five pieces of cracking, squeaking, tinkling, field recordings and smooth (and not) drones. With quite sparse sound material he manages to organize enough active, dynamic construction with abstract rhythms and flexuous loop passages.
Ian Holloway, artist from Wales, know from project Psychic Space Invasion delivers long wavy drone trip deep to the inner dark waters, enriched by field recordings and sudden noise intrusions. Hard experience with short, bright periods.

Finally I have the pleasure of announcing "A Walk In the Park". A collaboration between myself and Hans Kriatian Senneseth (Lupus Golem / E.cho)
Originally scheduled to be one of the first releases on Twilight Luggage, this mixture of acoustic / electric guitar / piano improv, noise, and various electronics has for mysterious reasons been delayed several times.
This album is available as both CD-R and free download.
