**SVARTE GREINER & ALEXANDER RISHAUG / Black Oyster Tour 2011*

 *Svarte Greiner* is the one man project of *Erik K. Skodvin* from
Langesund, Norway. He also records with Otto Totland as Deaf Center. While
the duo creates dusty grey soundscapes in a surrealistic world of sounds
not far from that of David Lynch & Angelo Badalamenti. Svarte Greiner is
further exploration into a more dark, mysterious & disturbed universe.
Drawing inspirations from artists such as Earth, Volcano the bear, David
Darling & Deathprod, the output is draped in a Lynchian mysticism & horror
film cinematics. Since his debut album, Skodvin started to build up a
distinctive live technique using an unusual collection of broken glove
puppets and potion-filled medicine bottles. Erik K. Skodvin is also the
founder of the Miasmah record label and graphic design studio. Miasmah has
released over sixteen albums since it started in 2006, both CDs and vinyl,
releasing critically-acclaimed albums by both established and up-and-coming
artists and developing a cohesive aesthetic all on it’s own.

*Alexander Rishaug* (Oslo, 1974) is a sound artist, composer and musician.
Rishaug explores tones and textures through the use of electronics, field
recordings, toys or simply just playing around with an instrument. Rishaug
combines the intimate knowledge of his musical equipment with the
playfulness of an amateur. Among the musical references we find minimalist
old-timers such as Steve Reich and Terry Riley, whose repetitive patterns
and drones respectively, form the basis of much of Rishaug’s album Possible
Landscape. These song structures are combined with a sonic palette that is
equally informed by post-90s electronic music and glitch as by composers
such as Pierre Henry and Bernhard Parmigiani. Although the glitch-sound
will continue to be associated with Oval and the Mille Plateaux-label there
is little in Rishaug’s music that resembles this kind of coldly theoretical
and clinically depersonalized sound. Rather, there is in Rishaug’s music
always a deeply human warmth that more resembles the personal investment of
a singer-songwriter than a laptop-musician. The patient listener will pick
up on these qualities and as a result the experience of Rishaug’s music is
rich with potential listening pleasure.

SUDDEN INFANT / ANEMONE TUBE / HORACIO POLLARD*

*Joke Lanz aka Sudden Infant* creates an unique blend of physical
sound-poetry and dadaistic vocals, using contact microphones, prerecorded
soundloops and noises. The result is abrupt Musique Concrète juxtapositions
of spasmodic gibbering and a battery of disorienting electronics. It’s a
fragmented field of sound that comes to its own autonomy. Born in
Switzerland, now based in Berlin, Joke Lanz is presenting his work since
more than 20 years all over the world. Music for contemporary dance,
theatre, sound-installations and films. Innumerable releases on
international labels e.g. Schimpfluch, Entr’acte, RRR, Tochnit Aleph,
Blossoming Noise, SSSM, Artware, Klanggalerie, MSBR, Some Bizarre, iDeal
Recordings.

*Anemone Tube* was founded in the summer of 1996. The audio works of
Anemone Tube are a unique blend of dark ambient and industrial/noise music
with a strong psychogenic impact. The use of constantly shifting and
altering sounds and moods is possibly one of the most intriguing things
about the audio creations of Anemone Tube.

“Anemone Tube is all about ambient noisescapes. Blending in organic and
synthetic sounds and noises, all culminating into storming and raging sonic
experience. … Purely depending on the listeners mood, the sounds may either
soothe or enrage, expand into massive adventurous soundscapes or diminish
into pitiful minimalism. At times the result may be pure revolt, causing
you into immediately stop listening … At times it can fuse with your psyche
and imagination, accumulating in delirious and halluzinative experiences.
The sounds are pulsating, drowning, flowing and floating, tormenting and
caressing the listener, but most imporatantly, they cause reaction.
Sometimes the sounds can be extremely haunting and claustrophobic, making
the listener squirm in uncomfortability and irritation, yet insatiability
craving for more. Manic and depressive.”
(Review by Jukka Mattila, Finland 1998)
