Looking forward to seeing you at Ozora.  Masses of warm reverbs and lush delays to you all. Take care!

Other artists featured on the compilation are:
Asura, Solar Fields, Scann-Tec, Field Rotation, Maurizio Piazza, Hol Baumann remixed by Max Million and talented newcomers to the Ultimae realm, Cygna, Gaiana and Astropilot.

The track is somewhat special to us with a unique sample of the Norwegian poet, Rolf Jacobsen, from his poem “Landskap med gravemaskiner” from the collection “Hemmelig Liv” (1954). We extend our warmest thanks to his son for allowing us to use excerpts from the magnificent poem.

The event was moved this year to the city of Mulhouse, France and took place in the national concert hall “La Filature”. We had prepared 90 minutes of downtempo ambient with an emphasis on more chilled tracks accompanied by our very own “Norway by helicopter” video. The room was packed with people and we extend a big thank-you to all of you guys who showed up.  Thanks for spending your time with us. We had a great time!

The amount of response and feedback from you guys just propelled our enthusiasm sky high and we are delighted to be on the lineup for next year’s festival as well.

The first booked live gig we have in the new year is Nuit Hypnotique on the 12th of March. This will be a chill-based event consisting of  more down-beat music and we are preparing several new tracks for this event.  In addition we will show stunning aerial photography from Norway kindly provided to us by Fuglefjellet (please take a look at the Vimeo-clip below).

Hope to see you all on our live events in 2011!  Take care!

Bjarte & Jostein

Playing our new material in front of a great audience turned out to be a major kick. Originally we had planned all the tracks in one seamless presentation, but we soon realised that we had to fade out the tracks in order to address the response and applause from the crowd.
Having tailored our set specifically for a live setting, it was really rewarding to see the reactions and to get the confirmation that we had done things correctly. A fantastic inspirational boost with lots of energy! Thanks Ozora for a wonderful time!
