SINDRE BJERGA - JAPAN TOUR JUNE/JULY 2013
Experimental / psychedelic drone / collage music from Norway.
I have been touring all over Europe, also Russia, Ukraine and Argentina for many years and have release more than 100 records on labels all over the world.
I also run the Gold Soundz label (www.hifiallergy.wordpress.com)
"Majestic balance burns through damaged synapse. Entrancing electro-acoustic scratch, long form isolationism and cavernous tape-drone meditation from Sindre Bjerga, who should need no introduction after his prolific string of releases on various labels across the underground spectrum" - Lighten Up Sounds
"What remains consistent from one release to the next is a sense of personality. Whatever sub-sub-sub genre he happens to be working in – space-drone, gurglecore, dictaphonics, others of his own devising – he imbues it with an engaging, informing intelligence. Playful, unafraid to meander, yet always attentive, thought through and sharp when it needs to be." - Rob Hayler, Radio Free Midwich
"A very fine piece of electro-acoustic music, not highly refined – in fact: far from it – but a rather personal touch from this great Norwegian guy. Very nice indeed. Catch this guy playing when it he is in your area." - Frans de Waard, Vital Weekly
