RELEASE DATE

Prisma Records is proud to present the first release dedicated to the music by the late Norwegian composer and electronic music pioneer,
Sigurd Berge
(1929-2002). This release showcases some of Berge's earliest experiments with tape-machines and early synthesizers. The music is taken from three reels found in the Henie Onstad Art Centre music archives in 2009. The reason why these tapes were located at the art center is probably because Berge worked for several years at the NSEM - Norwegian Studio for Electronic Music, located at the art center. Berge also was a central part of the electronic music concert series Elektrofoni which took place at the center from 1968 until 1983. On the first tape were the unreleased pieces "Preludium," "Ritual" and "Sørgemusikk" and the pieces "Erupsjon" and "Eg Beisla Min Støvel." On a different tape, was the musique concrète piece "Delta," which Berge also used in collaboration with the avant-garde jazz group
Svein Finnerud
in 1970. The second part of this release is dedicated to one of Norway's first multimedia art installations entitled "BLIKK." The work was commissioned for the Henie Onstad Art Centre in 1970 and created by the artists
Irma Salo Jæger
,
Jan Erik Vold
and
Sigurd Berge
. The installation consisted of Jæger's kinetic sculptures, Vold's abstract poetry and Berge's electronic music, all blended together with one of Norway's first computer-generated laser-light shows. The multimedia piece was so complicated to produce that the engineers
Halvor Heier
,
Birger Komedal
and
Harald Schiøtz
were hired on for technical assistance. The pioneering work "BLIKK" was exhibited at the Henie Onstad Art Centre between April-May in 1970. Prisma Records is proud to release one of Norway's most acclaimed experimental composers and electronic music pioneers for the first time on a complete CD release.
