dekorder (germany) #dekorder 15 cd

john hegre / maja solveig kjelstrup ratkje “ballads” compact disc

autumn leaves (4:25)
binoculars and traces (6:00)
private matter (3:18)
blues for silent bakers (3:08)
hesitating interruptions of spring (3:55)
a quiet day at the office (2:21)
art compass (2:42)
hammock moods (15:39)

surprisingly light & breezy duo-session from these two nordic mongers... john hegre known for his work w/lasse marhaug in jaz(z)kam(m)er and solo as “golden serenades”, maja ratke for her duo fe-mail and her solo disc on rune grammophone...

the two get busy over a few real-book chestnuts, leaving plenty of space in the proceedings. more company week than rainbow electronics. pretty fantastic, actually...

[015] john hegre / maja ratkje "ballads" cd

"ballads" ist the first collaborative album by two key figures of the norwegian noise, improv, experimental, whatever-you-call-it music scene. anyone expecting a rackety wall of distorted feedback guitars and voices will be gently surprised though by the sparse and intimate sketches to be found on this wonderful record. songs are stripped down to their raw bones using only the most essential elements to reveal the soul behind every single sound. superfluous effects seem to be completely absent, creating an open space for miniscule details, always ready to implode into noisier tracks such as "private matter". the album culminates in "hammock moods", a quietly mesmerizing epic finale with maja ratkje humming a beautiful melody over hegre's gorgeous near-psychedelic guitar playing. let's all hope for a sequel to this album!

maja ratkje is a member of spunk (rune grammofon) and noise duo fe-mail. her solo album "voice" (produced in collaboration with jazzkammer) got an award of distinction at prix ars electronica in 2003. in 2001 she was the first composer ever to receive the arne nordheim distinction award. she has collaborated with jaap blonk, ikue mori, otomo yoshihide, wolf eyes, matmos, lasse marhaug, jason forrest, kim hiortoy, ulver and many others.

john hegre is a member of jazzkammer / jazkamer (smalltown supersound), kaptein kaliber, golden serenades, new boiling near the fjords (with members of alog) and others. his first solo 3"cd came out on dekorder in 2003. jazkamer will release their aptly titled new album "metal music machine" in spring 2006 and hegre is working on an as yet untitled solo album for dekorder.

important (usa) #imprec 092 lp

maja solveig kjelstrup ratkje “stalker” picture disc long playing record

untitled
untitled

important press release...

this vinyl only picture disc release is limited to only 500 copies worldwide.

renowned international composer maja ratkje is a founding member in two of norway's most respected improvisational units - spunk & fe-mail. while her solo work on the rune grammofon release voice is without the electronic and instrumental elements of spunk and fe-mail, stalker finds maja merging elements of her other projects into her solo endeavors.

ranging from furious to tender, stalker was recorded in paris and at various live dates around europe. this live material was then brought back to a studio in norway and laboriously editited for release.

like much of ratkje's work stalker flawlessly contrasts these two disctinct emotional and audio extremes. while stalker is influenced the the hardest japanese noise it is also a quiet emotional drift based around bertold brecht's story of a girl who has drowned and is floating down a river while her body slowly dissolves leaving only her hair to remain. with this dichotomy hanging in limbo ratkje fills in the blanks with her signature compositional attention to detail and balance.

“i play with the material and it talks back to me. it's a game between the boundaries of total control and total anarchy. i try to include some of both.” maja ratkje

maja solveig kjelstrup ratkje / lasse marhaug “music for gardening” compact disc

september 2009 release ; fourth release in this near-decade-long collaboration between maja solveig kjelstrup ratkje and lasse marhaug ...

nestled somewhere in the nether-regions between harsh noise, electro-acoustic improvisation, and plunderphonic collage-work, the two are obviously having a blast running the proverbial gamut (esp. on the respective cat and dog-themed pieces ; listen to the sound-sample for the former - yeah, like i wasn’t going to put that one up) ... great stuff !!!

rune grammofon press release...

rcd 2026 - spunk: den øverste toppen på en blåmalt flaggstangthe new studio album from this increasingly exciting and colourful quartet boasts yet another pippi longstocking related title. this free spirited and anti authoritarian character is one of the most loved and wellknown from the late, great swedish author of childrens books, astrid lindgren. it translates "the very top of a bluepainted flagpole" and on reflection it gets clearer and clearer why the four young women (all still in their twenties) in spunk so easily will identify with this character, going their own pathways and relentlessly breaking most rules in the book. in many ways both more accesible, varied and distinct than their debut from 1999.
