Food
Food
Originally a quartet including trumpeter Arve Henriksen and bassist Mats Eilertsen, Food has now reduced to its core and founder members Ballamy and Strønen whose concept is to invite like-minded musicians to join them and engage with their contemporary and forward thinking approach to creating music, using sound space texture and contrast to create ever-changing moods and environments for true improvisation.
By combining acoustic elements including bells, blocks, gongs and lyrical saxophone, the music is enhanced and tempered with live sampling and drums creating moods which range from minimalist to very turbulent Food have released 5 albums, most recently "Molecular Gastronomy" for the Norwegian label Rune Grammofon.
MoHa!
MoHa!
MoHa! play somewhat loud music influenced by incredibly varied sources.
Some say the duo deal in sonic splatter, some say this is gibbering and twitching and going off and things good/bad, shape-shifting and gear changing, sharp blasts of savagely intense composition.
"In order to understand the characteristic of moha we should know what we are ignorant of when there is moha".
MoHa! is A.S.H on guitar/keyboard and M.J.O on drums/SC3.
