Marhaug (b. 1974) has since the early 90ies been one of the most active
artists in the so-called Norwegian noise scene. As a performer and
composer he has contributed to well over 200 CD, vinyl and cassette
releases over the years, as well as extensive touring and performing
live in Europe, Asia and America. In addition to his solo work, Marhaug
plays regularly in projects Jazkamer, Nash Kontroll, DEL and Testicle
Hazard. Past projects and bands include Origami Replika and Lasse
Marhaug Band. He has collaborated with several artists in the fields
of noise, experimental, improv, jazz, rock and extreme metal, as well
as working with music and sound for theatre, dance, installations
and video. He works with different kinds of instrumentation; from
guitar-pedals and homemade electronics to computers and modified guitars,
but conciders the mixing-board his main instrument. Marhaug was born
in the northern regions above the Arctic Circle of Norway, but currently
lives and works in Oslo.
"Marhaug has an impressive range at his fingertips, veering wildly from shock-tactic maximal noise, to near-silent contemplative drones. Much of the time loud and noisy, but also playful and even quiet, wintry and respectful of space and silence" (Ed Pinset, The Sound Projector) "It basically sounds like your speakers are damaged, or are going to be damaged soon if you don't take the fucking cd out of the player" (uncredited online review) |
