What else can you expect from a noise orchestra then noise? The
Norwegian Noise Orchestra exists of a varying line up, but on this
live recording, made at Betong (whereever that may be), there are
fifteen players. Many names I didn't hear of before, but also
including Sindre Andersen, Andreas Meland and Ole H. Melby. The whole
hour that this recording lasts is filled with noise in the best
Merzbowian tradition. Loud, noisy, aggressive and like a bath of
sound to get drowned in. A nice work of the more intellegent noise.
Only one thing crossed my mind: why are fifteen players needed for
something that can also be done by one person? Maybe that is where a
bit of my disappointment comes from. What could be the real
oppurtunities for fifteen people doing noise if they would operate
from fifteen personal views? Frans de Waard, Vital Weekly
