Kaada
MUSIC FOR MOVIEBIKER CD/LP
Release date: 28 August 2006
Kaada's second solo long-player, Music For Moviebikers, marks a new development in the Norwegian composer's explorations of cinematic music.
Where previous solo outings were dominated by electronics, Kaada has here decided to enlist the services of a 22-strong orchestra, making live recordings in the tomb of a dilapidated church before mixing and adding post-production in the studio. The results are somehow both familiar and unsettling; nestling within his trademark reverb-soaked melancholy atmospheres are Eastern European folk elements, and some input from instruments designed and built by Kaada himself.
