John Hegre/Lasse Marhaug: Acoustic
CD-R -
Authorized Version, England - 2002
DEISON & LASSE MARHAUG - 33 MINUTES OF YOUR LIFE (CDR by Loud!)
JOHN HEGRE/LASSE MARHAUG - ACOUSTIC (CDR by Authorised Version)
From all the active people I know, I think the one never sleeping is Lasse Marhaug. He has various bands (Jazzkammer, Del), a label (Jazzassin), solo project and his free time is spend working behind his laptop on sound collaborations with people like Deison. He had a very nice CDR with various of MP3 works a while ago of gentle and
noisy clicks and cuts stuff. Together they explore the world of microscopic sound and digital ambient further in this work which takes thirty-three minutes of your life to listen. Through subtle cracking, sampled skipping vinyl and heavily processed field
recordings, they depict in five seperate pieces a peep through the looking glass of sound and we see microbes eating the complete internals of two laptops, well-nourished and fat they fall asleep. Good sturdy work of microsounding works.
More Marhaug is to be found on a split CDR with his Jazzkammer buddy John Hegre. Originally this was released as a cassette by TWR Tapes, but apperentely they liked it so much that it was worth to re-release. The original recordings are from 2000. Quite important to keep in mind. John Hegre has two untitled pieces. The first one is an
aggressive loud, Merzbow like piece of noise, feeding sounds of tapes on rewind through a bunch of effect boxes. The second piece is more open, but still on the noise side of things. Lasse's pieces have more to do with the exploration of rhythm, but he too finds himself locked inside a love affair with noise. And even at that, Lasse is less raw (if that is possible. Yes it is) and his pieces bit more shaped and
fine tuned towards the variations possible inside noise music. But we have to keep in mind that these are not recent works: both are now much more refined. And not acoustics at all, mind you. (FdW, Vital Weekly)
