Lasse Marhaug
Lasse Marhaug è stato fin dai primi anni novanta uno degli artisti più attivi della cosidetta Norwegian Noise Scene. Come musicista e compositore ha contribuito a più di duecento pubblicazioni collaborando con artisti di altissimo livello tra cui Government Alpha, Merzbow, Maja S.K. Ratkje, Kevin Drumm, Helge Sten, Russell Haswell, Francisco López, Mats Gustafsson, Otomo Yoshihide, Sachiko, Carlos Giffoni, Kim Cascone, Paal Nilssen-Love, Sunn0))), Peter Rehberg, The Skull Defekts, Joachim Nordwall, Oren Ambarchi, John Wiese, C.Spencer Yeh, Pain Jerk, Merzbow, Jim O’ Rourke. Lavora con diversi tipi di strumentazione, da home-made electronics a computer, ed i suoi live sono sempre una sorpresa: grandi dinamiche e brutali sferzate di harshnoise si alternano a passaggi deep drone e distese di concretismi.
