EHM
Marcela Lucatelli - voice
Erik Kimestad Pedersen - trumpet
Henrik Olsson - guitar
"The four free-improvised pieces focus on intense and brutal sonic collisions that demand all three musicians to exploit all their inventive powers and extended techniques. Lucatelli, Pedersen and Olsson mutate their voices, breathes and the guitar strings into extreme, chaotic soundscapes that still has some twisted sensual quality. Like noisy godzillas that enjoy the Danish hygge in a compact, sweaty space." - Eyal Hareuveni, Free Jazz Blog
"It´s inhumanly human noise... ...It's a record for those who are curious, without prejudice. It's dangerous and thrilling" - Niels Overgård, Jazznyt

YTTERLANDET
Sture Ericson - sax, clarinet
Henrik Olsson – guitar
Håkon Berre – percussion
Ytterlandet means outer country. Emanating from the remote north of Europe, three explorers are mixing their own brew of improv. Curious listeners are invited to experience the discoveries of their sound chemistry - where the ear may be exposed to unknown landscapes, as well as reminiscenses of freejazz and noise. A sound palette with ingredients like: edgy guitar, sax/clarinet optionally prepared and/or deconstructed, and an extended field of percussion with things intended or unintended for music. Each time a new sonic picture is drawn on the blank canvas of time. And, interestingly enough, the picture that is manifesting itself will not look/sound the same for any two listeners...
