HORNORKESTRET (NO)
Att norrmännen tycks ha ett särskilt nära förhållande till naturen i musiken visar inte minst alla hundratals skivomslag från lusekoftornas land där corpse paint-sminkade unga dödsmetallare poserar bland klippor och mörka skogsdungar. Men när den typiska norska death metal-gruppen flyttar ut i naturen för ett par fräsiga bilder med spikklubbor bredvid ett par björkar, alternativt en mossbelupen sten, väljer Hornorkestret helt sonika att låta naturen flytta in till dem.
Sedan Hornorkesteret bildades 1999 (av Jonas Qvale) har gruppen med stenar, röst, gitarr och egentillverkade stränginstrument av renhorn skapat en organisk, atmosfärisk dronemusik där natur och fysiska processer intagit huvudroller. Egensinniga improvisationsmusiker (och instrumenttillverkare) såsom Pierre Bastien och Hans Reichel ligger nära till hands som jämförande riktmärken; det är här frågan om en primitivt ljudande, men rik, musik som rör sig mellan noderna det lekfulla och svängiga till det kontemplativa och introspektiva.
Åh, vi höll på att glömma: country och rock n roll, Norwegian style, är virkelig icke heller utelukket!
“Founded by Jonas Qvale as an art project and an open experimental environment, Hornorkesteret played their first gig on instruments made from reindeer antlers at Atalante in Gothenburg in october 1999 backed by a mic’ed up coffee percolator. Since then, we’ve played numerous gigs around Norway with varying line-ups, improvising and performing in museums, concert halls, galleries, campers, in the woods and on mountaintops. The music has always been about nature and physical processes, with primitive human grooves surfacing and dissolving again. Doing film music and theatrical productions has made the current line-up more structured as we’ve been working with cues in films, scripts and in the movements of actors and dancers”

ORA COGAN (CAN, Born music)
Ora Cogan is the daughter of a popular Israeli folk singer and a Photo-Journalist. Her Parents left Israel for Canada after the Yom Kippur War and moved to Salt Spring Island, B.C. where Ora was born in 1982. The Cogan’s house was in equal parts a home, recording studio, dark room and a haven for travelers and Musicians.Ora began to write her own songs at the age of 12 and in her adolescence taught herself to play Guitar, Violin, Piano and Dulcimer. Under the influence of old American and Middle Eastern records, the Young artist began to develop the haunting style of her songs. When she was 17 years old Ora went to live with her grandmother in Israel. Due to dangerous circumstances she decided to leave. She bought a passage to Greece and slept on the deck of a ship for three days before arriving in Athens. She performed alone on the streets and in the pubs of Europe for a year while writing songs that would later be recorded on her first release “Sparrow” in 2005.
After returning home Ora quickly became a darling of the independent music scene In Vancouver, Collaborating with Folk and Experimental artists alike and Co-Founding “Her Jazz Noise Collective” and “Cornerstone” an A cappella gospel quartet . With the help of The Be Good Tanyas, Ora record the album “Tatter” In 2007. At first made with covers she fashioned out of flea market record sleeves, and later re-issued with two additional tracks recorded live from her stint as an opening act for Be Good Tanyas throughout Western Canada. “Tatter” received international critical acclaim, and Ora went on to tour extensively throughout North America. She is often compared to artists such as Karen Dalton and Devendra Banhart and has shared stages with the likes of Tanya Tagaq and Vashti Bunyan while immersing herself in the festival circuit including: The Vancouver Folk Music festival, Hallelujah festival in Portland, Oregon and The Mission Creek Festival in San Francisco, and Tanned Tin in Spain.Ora Cogan’s latest album “Harbouring” was recorded in Vancouver and released on Borne Recordings in October 2008. Shortly after the release, Ora completed a successful tour throughout Spain, Portugal, Austria, Poland, The Czech Republic, Germany, Holland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, France and England and will be touring throughout Europe and North America in April 2009.
“Ora’s voice possesses that haunting, soulful quality that seems like
its source is coming from deep deep within or beyond. Like a mysterious
transplant from decades past, it’s as though she opens her mouth and a
lilting voice from the ’20s comes drifting out. It’s beautiful in its
simplicity, just her and her guitar and a few banjo and back-up vocal
additions.”
- AQUARIUS RECORDS
“Ora plays true folk, the kind that is strong and tells stories with a
sense of urgency, be it heartbreak or revolution. This album is gorgeous, bitter
sweet, and incredibly powerful.”
