Response: Electronic Music From Norway is a historic compilation documenting the heart of Norwegian avant-garde music. It features electronic music works by composers Arne Nordheim and Alfred Janson, as well as unorthodox guitarist Bjørn Fongaard. Tape manipulation, electronic modulation, and sonic experimentation, combined with the harsh yet tranquil Nordic atmosphere, create abstract yet poetic soundscapes. The content, which lies somewhere between academic contemporary music and underground experimental music, is extremely cutting-edge, even in light of the current re-evaluation of experimental and drone music. This is an important document in the history of Norwegian electronic music.
