NEW RELEASES FROM BJERGA/IVERSEN & RELATED
These past months have been a little slower release-wise, as you may have noticed...
But grab these new ones now:
BJERGA/IVERSEN "MAGNETIC COLORS OF THE ELECTRIC RAINBOW" CDR (STUNNED RECORDS) 7 EURO
Sindre Bjerga & Jan-Morten Iversen give the impression that they could just as easily be suited in some futuristic medical lab as they are in the venues and galleries they’ve ceaselessly toured since '04 as a duo. We’re on the job here with Norway’s serious nano-sculptors of the aural. These guys open their scalpel sets over tape spools & modular panels and go for the daring micro incisions that make the junior techs gasp. As fans of such heroic sound operation, Stunned is proud to present this official release of Bjerga / Iversen’s epic live 2007 performance at La Generale, captured in pristine fidelity by Radio WNE, Paris. It’s a determined procedure, nearly causing all attendants to faint in the sweaty focus of high register nerve-splicing and infrared plasma spurt. Thank God for the experts. Hand numbered edition of 120 painted cdrs with full color sleeve & insert card in vinyl jacket. (label description)
BJERGA/IVERSEN "SEWER MIST CATHARSIS" CASS (SWIM HARDER CASSETTES) 5 EURO
Sewer Mist Catharsis is beautiful but frightening droning electronic ambient noise from Norway in the vein of Zaimph, Kevin Drumm, or MB. Limited to 30 copies. (Label description)
BJERGA/IVERSEN "THE LUMINOUS DISK IN THE SKY" CDR (DEAD PILOT RECORDS) 6 EURO
Legendary experimental droners Bjerga/Iversen need no introduction. They’ve been on the scene for years now and have truly honed their sound to perfection. They’ve had releases on all the great DIY/CDr labels and have now they’ve contributed to Dead Pilot.
Here they present a static tinged minimalism piece that ranges from deep buzzing tones to industrial wails to crippled electronics. A murky drift through a ruined future. Deep, and highly recommended if you’ve checked out the Hourglass Drops/Wereju and Dead Wood/Phantom Heron Seas splits.
Packaged in a lush hand stamped blue envelope with paper wallet and textured paper insert, limited to 50! (label description)
A VIBRANT STRUGGLE "Astral Bleach" CASS (GOLD SOUNDZ) 5 EURO
Another hot jammer from the session in the fall 2007 from the trio of Steffan deTurck, Jan-M. Iversen and Sindre Bjerga. Blissful drones, crackling electro-accoustics... This should have been out last year, but we didn't want to flood the market haha.. Small edition on 1-sided "ecological" tapes...
V/A "Beginners night at the tape loop club" CDR (GOLD SOUNDZ) 5 EURO
new 79 min comp CDR with pretty long tracks by STEFAN KUSHIMA, DREAM SAFARI, SPOILS & RELICS, TERJE PAULSEN, JOEY CHAINSAW, BJERGA/IVERSEN, SKY LIMOUSINE, PÅL ASLE PETTERSEN and ending with a 15 minute loop-o-rama by DOGFROG. From full-on guitar assault, via loop-a-delics and synth gurgling to bugs-in-your-pants freak-scapes...
A good chance to pick up on some new names... Most tracks in the 7-10 min area...
SINDRE BJERGA & TEXTURED BIRD TRANSMISSION "TEMPLE OF TRANSPARENT WISDOM) CDR (CARBON RECORDS) 7 EURO
Recorded in 2007 and 2009 in Stavanger Norway and Weymouth UK respectively, this is some dense heavy drones with the perfect balance of texture and movement. [packaged with a full-color pro-printed folded card in a heavy duty vinyl sleeve] (Label description)
MAGNETIC NORTH DUO "STATIC FIELDS FOREVER" CDR (TAPE DRIFT) 6 EURO
Debut release from Norwegian unit comprised of Sindre Bjerga on bass, electronics, tapes, and Nils Rostad on guitar. A zoned and droned out blast of a journey into other worlds yet unexplored. True mastery over sound is the goal here and these two have a stellar set of techniques helping them rise to the challenge. A mesmerizing and very rich sounding sculpture of auditory bliss. From a live set recorded in Norway, this is a project we are incredibly proud to be releasing. (Label description)
