Alveland (Hansen/Løe)

Elka Space Phasing

A sketch consisting of various elements, old and new, that might be used for something, somewhere, soon.

Jan-M. Iversen - Skisser Fra Oktober

A late-stage rehearsal straight to cassette for reference. Recorded shortly before going into the studio, probably at John Henry rehearsal rooms. This is Mark on guitar, Lee on drums, and myself on piano and organ (the bass was always addressed in the studio once the basic track was down, which is why it doesn't feature here).
It's best to take the 8 minutes out and listen to the end, preferably in headphones, and in a quiet space,

It’s hard to describe the feeling one experiences when talking to Suzanne Ciani. Last Saturday she came to Lapsus Radio studio to share with us music and personal experiences –the first steps with her beloved Buchla synthesizer in the early 70’s, collaborations with Vangelis in the 80's and her recent release on Deutsche Grammophon are some of them–. Spirituality and improvisation as a lifestyle.

LAPSUS RADIO 249 - Suzanne Ciani

Against the grain is a project investigating the relationship between art, music and architecture. Architecture is used as a tool to experience and create music, and music is used as a tool to experience and create architecture. Against the grain is based in an old industrial mill in Sandviken, Bergen, Norway where the Bergen School of Architecture is situated today. The project was done in a renovated silo in the building. The concrete structures of the space create unique acoustics with a reverb time around 7 seconds. The recordings started 8-10/10-2010.

Sleepyard is a psychedelic pop band from Norway. Oliver Kersbergen formed the band in 1994 to record the first demo "Velvet sky". Later on brother Svein joined in and they started playing concerts.
The band released the minialbum “Intersounds” on their own label Orange music in 1998. This was hailed as one of the very first post rock albums from Norway.
Sleepyard released “The runner” on trust me records (2003) and contributed music to the movie Monsterthursday, which was nominated for best foreign film in the 2005 Sundance film festival. Next album "Easy Tensions" saw the band reaching for a more mellow and richer sound. Their multi tracked vocal harmonies reminded critics of the Beach Boys and drew comparisons to the psychedelic sound of Smile.
On their latest album "Future lines", the band has collaborated with Pianist Mike Garson and Sonic Boom from Spacemen 3.
In 2010 the band collaborated with Jim Shepherd of The Jasmine Minks and released a 7" Down Tangerine Road on his Oatcake Records. The band have now completed a version of Chocolate river for an upcoming Sky Sunlight Saxon tribute album
The band is working on a new album called Black sails which explores a more electronic sound. Collaborators are Dawn Smithson (Jessamine, Low Places, Sunn O)))), Mike Garson (David Bowie), Geoff leigh (Henry Cow), Christiaan Webb (The Webb Brothers), Suki Ewers (Mazzy Star, Old Toy Trains) Bo Chung (Old Toy Trains) AND MORE TO BE ANNOUNCED.
