melektronikk (norway) #melk 014 cd

lars myrvoll “live (ep)” compact disc recordable

brist 12:27

late 2005 release from safe as milk - a short live-set from enlightenment-label boss lars myrvoll. i know it’s only twelve minutes long, but honestly it works very well at that length; i don’t think i’d enjoy it as much if it were 50 minutes, or even 20! sometimes brevity just works in certain musics’ favor, and besides we should learn to through this whole “my money’s worth” model out the window in reference to cd-length anyways... quality’s what counts...

same spec as the other two cdr releases on melektronikk: a clear amaray housing a the wrapped in a laser-transparency sheet! quite classy... musically the sort of warm/fuzzy melodic digital squiggle that keeps up cold nordic types cozy at night.

melektronikk (norway) #melk 013 cd

alog “catch that totem! (1998-2005)” compact disc

just recording
song sung inwardly
catch that totem!
theme from toads
something like islands of memory
the method
dog dive
travel lighter
sunrise tattoo
beklager - nicholas
kej - vart blev det av dat’en - kim?
walk the earth
tromsø

the first non rune-grammophon release from this norwegian duo, collecting earlier works and non-album bits & bots... those who have familiarized themselves with the pair’s oeuvre will be both surprised and elated with the proceedings herein; a veritable festival of digital-sound, beautiful rhythmic clicky-bits, frozen drones and a bit of pop nuggetry. as with all melektronikks thusfar, the design is an immaculate collection of tonal blobs and weird, almost murakami-esque eyes & cartoon shapes. an excellent collection from one of my favorite norwegian acts, both on and off the stage...

melektronikk press release...

this album contains 13 tracks of sound collected from various times & places - an alog memory bank if you like.

we are happy to announce that our new cd just arrived! it´s called "catch that totem! (1998-2005)" and feature a selection of songs from our archive of unreleased and hard-to-find material. it was collected in co-operation with the record label melektronikk (known for their safe-as-milk festival). here´s what they have to say:

"over a cup of coffee and a slice of cake we decided together with alog to make a compilation album with the broadest possible scope: an album featuring unreleased tracks from before their first release, unavailable tracks from eps, a couple of remixes and brand new tracks that has never been released. alog carefully selected their favourites from the extensive alog archive and sent it to us. we listened gleefully to everything we received. after long discussions and great uncertainty we are proud to present these thirteen tracks as our common favourites: the best of alog's unreleased and hard to find material according to themselves and two of their biggest fans."

the artwork was made by our local (bergen) heroes grandpeople and is a deluxe 12 page booklet with liner notes from us and some explosive design (for some reason the words "evil", "chewing gum", "japanese manga", "black metal" and "summer" was mentioned during our discussions with the designers).

melektronikk (norway) #melk 012 cd

andreas meland / lasse marhaug “brakhage” compact disc

andreas meland - dog star man - i (5:22)
andreas meland - dog star man - ii (2:25)
andreas meland - dog star man - iii (6:08)
andreas meland - dog star man - iv (3:41)
andreas meland - dog star man - v (4:30)
andreas meland - dog star man - vi (2:25)
lasse marhaug - the act of seeing with one’s own eyes (31:51)

split disc, with each artist conjuring their own soundtrack to a classic experimental film by american auteur stan brakhage. lasse needs no introduction, but andreas is someone whom you should sit up and take notice of; aside from his tireless efforts working the rune grammophon label and yearly safe as milk festival in haugesund, andreas is becoming an excellent composer of parallax-view computerized sound-worlds, not far from the vein he champions (i.e. greg davis, alog, fennesz, etc...) excellent overall.

melektronikk press release...

melektronikk's latest gift to you is a split cd entitled "brakhage". noise titan lasse marhaug aka jazzkammer, and debutant andreas meland shares the circle with very different and individual pieces. both pieces was originally performed live in 2003 during a screeening of classic silent movies by the legendary american filmmaker stan brakhage (1933-2003). since then, both artists have reworked and expanded the live material extensively for this release.

arm “open reminder” compact disc

it will make sense
humming bug
dessert - not desert - cookie - not rock
snipers delight
storm detective
vitamin
driving by accident
walk away (the whistler)
the intruder

dam buster
open reminder

here is the arm cd, completely different than the arm lp (”driving by accident”), now back in stock...

disc of live recordings from the arm trio, with guests including jon hegre (of jazzkammer) on a few tracks. really quite beautiful with touches of a gratifying kind of surrealist humor...

melektronikk press release...

arm
"open reminder"
melk 008 - cd

starting with improvisation, arm serves as a musical meeting point where anything can happen. part lab and part playground. all plans are put aside and results become clear over time. so, when other musicians are invited to join, this becomes music of constant change. what remains constant is the desire for experimentation and an inclusive approach to sound and noise. with this in mind, arm can be described as musical relatives to acts such as farmers manual, supersilent, boredoms and black dice.

melektronikk (norway) #melk 007 lp

arm “driving by accident” long playing record

not necessarily in order:
extended ticket
the whistler
crossing sickness
friendly rock
restless mussles
help is on holiday
city on the move
this is leading nowhere
dust wave
eel and man
secret passage
dark blossom

here is the arm lp, completely different than the arm cd released at the same time (”open reminder”) now back in stock...

debut from the trio of alexander rishaug, are mokkelbost (aka the excellent laptop/metal wunderkind single unit, whose records i hope to bring to you soon), and arne borgan, with guests. impressive improvised electronica, very wide in scope.

the lp back is an honest-to-goodness board game (see! you could never pull that off with a cd!).

melektronikk press release...

arm
"driving by accident"
melk 007 - lp

norwegian electronica-improvisors arm describes themselves as three heads and one body, a partly domesticated creature; something that is friendly and violent at the same time, eager to share crunching hugs and pleasant kicks. this creature melts music with one hand and makes casts new music with the other – and throws it at you with the third! this creature actually consist of three guys, alexander rishaug, are mokkelbost and arne borgan, all of which have different solo-projects, but have been playing together for six years.

sleeve by are mokkelbost

“ok, this is not the first driving by accident. two years ago we completed a record with the same name. it disappeared and it didn’t come back until recently. by then it had changed.

it’s no secret’ we like it even better now.

arm contributors on this recording is: arne borgan, are mokkelbost, and alexander rishaug. also, marius von der fehr is playing on track 1, 4, 7, 8, and 11. those tracks were recorded in a tower by the royal castle in oslo, norway. the rest are relics from arm cncerts around the world.”

melektronikk (norway) #melk 005 ep

greg davis “precursors” seven inch single record

lightning proves to be unnecessary
custom made mobile (for robert lawrence davis)

third in the melektronikk series. i will be a very happy man if greg continues to release such distinctly formed music on little 7” circles of plastic.

first piece is a building rager of distorted acoustic guitar mess; transfiguring suddenly into a pastoral folk-piece for harmonium and said acoustic. on the flip is a fantastically mellow piece for his baby nephew. you can feel the love in the air...

melektronikk press release...

greg davis
"precursors"
melk 005 - 7"

greg davis' precursors is the third record in melektronikks much praised 7” series. limited quantities, so hurry up to grab one. "precursors" is two instrumental tracks. “lightning proves to be unnecessary” blends the most joyous latopcrafted noise with harmonic sounds of guitar, farfisa organ, melodica and even fieldrecordings of birds. “custom made mobile” makes up the b side and is a slow and warm acoustic mobile. it twinkles and it shines. buy an ice cream, summer is here!
