After spending a warm winter on a farm in Austin, Texas, the artist Edvard Borneo has brought new colors to his musical palette. Together with a rock-solid band, the music plows through a jungle of ambitions and passions, where everything from explosive folk tunes to melancholic country ballads bloom into emotional catharsis. Inspired by poets like Allen Ginsberg and Charles Bukowski, and artists like Bob Dylan and Madison Cunningham, one can expect just as much wisdom as confusion. In short, Edvard Borneo makes the comfortable mad and the mad comfortable.

Bio:
DJ med lang fartstid på Oslos klubbscene. Ingensteds, Dattera Til Hagen, Jaeger, Blå, Justisen, samt forhenværende Fisk og Vilt, Turkish Delight, Cosmo, Living Room, Badstugata og Nomaden er alle Oslo-klubber som har hatt mer eller mindre jevnlige besøk av herremannen fra Grimstad. Utenfor Oslo kan nevnes Diskoteket i Trondheim, Torskeholmen i Grimstad og Frk Larsen i Kristiansand som hyppige oppdragsgivere.

I dag serverer han boogie og 80's funk til massene gjennom konsepter som Funkotheque (med Don Lom) og Boogienetter (Jaeger, Sukkerbiten (Øyanatt), Justisen og andre venues), mens solosettene hans gjerne preges av mer uptempo house og disco.

En ekte kjærlighet til musikken i kombinasjon med en særlig følsomhet overfor publikum gjør Breakneck til et sikkert stikk for å ta festen til nye høyder

Electronic musician from Norway. I started playing piano/keyboards in the mid 80s. After a few years at the municipal music school, I quickly grew tired of the simple piano-only education and got to move on to classes with keyboards and synths. From the early beginning with Technics K-200 rhythm keyboard from 1983 via some Casios/Hohner keyboards, I evolved with the later Technics KN-1000 and KN-2000 before moving on to Roland XP-50. As the computer revolution made DAWs affordable, 1999 made sequencing using Cubase easy and the studio grew ever larger with more outboard gear. Today the studio has become a sizeable and functional MIDI/arranging studio with over 40 synths/modules and more centered around a MacPro with MOTU’s Digital Performer, and numerous more or less famous productions.

I have always had a musical approach towards sound engineering and composing, rooted mainly in vivid harmonic structures and saturated compositions. Inspiration has always been the likes of Jean Michel Jarre, Vangelis, Eric Serra to name a few giants in the electronic scene, but also a heart towards well produced pop music from the 70s and 80s as well as epic film scores from John Williams, Alan Silvestri and Hans Zimmer. The baby era of computer music from the late 80s and early 90s was also a heavy influence.
