"Norwegian trumpeter and sonic architect Nils Petter Molvaer presents Khmer Live in Bergen -- a charged reinvention of his era-defining 1997 ECM release Khmer -- recorded in concert in 2023. Fused with live trip-hop beats, ambient haze and Nordic lyricism, Khmer Live in Bergen amplifies a new energy with deeper grooves, sharper edges and greater dynamic intensity, pushing the music into a rawer, driven by experience, control and creative vision. Performed with a newly expanded band and released on Edition Records, Khmer Live in Bergen captures the volatile electricity of Molvaer's live sound -- fluid, restless and saturated with feeling. The album is a powerful reminder that his sound remains vital, forceful and fully alive -- constantly evolving with greater clarity, depth and intent."

"Two three inch CDs -- one comprising new works and another reworkings of older sounds. Indeed one finds a marked 'transition' in approach to noise-making among the earlier and later material which is heightened by their physical separation. Disc one highlights Behrens' remarkable compositional restraint with slow moving tones and introduction of transient sounds and granular waves into the audio field. Disc two employs an abrupt jump-cut aesthetic and much more primitive sounds in its making: metallic ringing, bursts of low frequencies, voices, and synth-like tones punctuated by sudden dropouts for a jarring overall result. The CDs are carefully packaged in a gatefold plastic sleeve with cards featuring color photographs by the artist. Edition 500."

EDITION XVI

"It seems that our everyday logic breaks down when applied to the infinite. We must either abandon discussions of infinity, or accept that some questions which seem meaningful for all questions of the finite are meaningless when applied to the infinite. A Thompson lamp is a lamp that is switched on then switched off after 1 second, then switched on again after a half second, then switched off after a quarter second, then switched on after an eighth of a second... and so on. Two seconds after it is first turned on, is it on or off?"Note abut this "conceptual art": "This CD is made from an original source of P.C.M. data @ +1-1+1-1...This will probably not be rendered as sound by a CD player's DAC."
