years as a quartet drummer jarle vespestad decided to call it a day before the start of recording sessions at oslo's famous rainbow studios. this spurred two further sessions, one taking place at henie onstad art centre with all three members playing hammond organs. this album is put together from that session, but we doubt anyone would figure out the instrumentation without prior knowledge. it's also fair to say that 'supersilent 9' as a whole goes a long way towards being the most avant garde and otherworldly recording the band has done so far. the album was mixed and produced by deathprod and mastered by mastering guru bob katz in close collaboration with deathprod, with a view to keep the dynamic range of the original recording intact. supersilent have been going for 12 years, always moving forward with the greatest integrity. supersilent music is collective work, total group improvising, and not a matter of individual grandstanding. they never rehearse as a group

improvising trio 'veslefrekk' with the idea of forming a new quartet. the first time they played together was a concert at bergen jazz festival the same year. their first album, the triple set '1-3' was released in late 97, also being the first release on rune grammofon. stale storlokken is a member of humcrush, elephant9 and terje rypdal's skywards trio and a few other groups. he also recorded with raoul bjorkenheim, trevor dunn and morgan agren for box, a new project released on rune grammofon in early 2008. arve henriksen has released four solo albums, three of them for rune grammofon, to high international acclaim, and he has recorded with david sylvian, trygve seim, christian wallumrod, jon balke and many others. helge sten, aka deathprod, was a former member of rock group motorpsycho and is now a permanent member in susanna's trio. he is a producer on the various independent scenes in norway, with credits including jaga jazzist, nils petter molvor, motorpsycho, the white birch, susanna (with and without her magical orchestra) and several others.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"No
