Arve Henriksen: The Nature of Connections
by John Kelman

Ulf Wakenius: Momento Magico
by Ian Patterson

by Henning Bolte
For Norwegian electronic musician Jan Bang, the studio is no longer a perfectly isolated space to assemble and produce fictitious beautiful sounds--a boundary he has long since transcended. He not only brought studio equipment and techniques to the performing stage but he also started using them as tools in live improvisation. Together with fellow musician and ...
Jan Bang: Narrative from the Subtropics
by John Kelman
There are times when it seems everything that has come before suddenly coalesces, reaches critical mass and engenders near-exponentially increased success and opportunity.
