Eight

2007 release from this groundbreaking quartet, their first studio album in almost five years. Members Arve Henriksen (trumpet, electronics), Helge Sten (audio virus), St†le Storlokken (keyboards, synthesizers), Jarle Vespestad (drums) and Arve Henriksen (trumpet, voice, electronics, drums)originally formed a band that refuses categorization, with experiments in such disparate elements as Ambient, Jazz, Electronica, Rock, Techno, Noise and Musique Concr‚te. They never rehearse as a group and don't discuss the music with each other, meeting only to play concerts or to record. Supersilent music lives in a no-man's-land between the genres, somewhere between Rock, Electronica, Jazz and modern composition. It can sometimes appear to be written or at least arranged, again making it clear that these musicians communicate on a high, almost telepathic level. Needless to say, there are no overdubs.
