More Info "Norwegian visual & sound artist Terje Paulsen lives in Kristiansand, a port city close to wild nature & fjords... This immediate environment as well as his own home are Terje's main sources of inspiration... Despite a serious pedigree in music based on years of practice, he asserted himself into the sphere of experimental music (acoustic, electroacoustic, electronic) where the use of field recordings, and manipulation of found objects play a great role... To that he mixes real instruments (bass, acoustic guitar, flute, mouth organ...). Usually his compositions follow from patient observation of his nearby and daily surroundings, and become sound meditations stemming from intense impro sessions which are then edited and reassembled... So far his studies have been generously distributed either via netlabels (Homophoni, TecnoNucleo, Q-Tone, Resting Bell, Rain Music, Con-v...), labels (Q-tone...) self-releases, and appeared also on quite a few compilations (Trente Oiseaux, Mandorla, Ripples, etc...) This first MS release (a sequel is scheduled) shows a keen sense of reverence for the invisible elemental forces at work in his vicinity, an emphasis on their indelible imprint on our lives... another reading of the Great Mystery... - Bordering this jagged shore vast rolling plains caress the distance stones roll, stirring the opaque waters... We look at the sea, seeing a giant mirror & seeking for improbable answers... "Horisont" stretches out before us like a silent continuation, a place of multiples echoes... sucking us inexorably in, in an ultimate embrace... Absorbing vanishing point, imaginary reservoir... between worlds, "Horisont" enables a slip into the Untold, a drift propitious to lucidity and transcendence...
