Norway, 1994. Lasse Marhaug has yet to start working under his own name. An obscure short lived project just before that, titled Egoproblem, releases one 20 minute tape and performs one live gig. This CD collects those materials, presenting the most straight forward industrial / power electronics works of Lasse Marhaug. 40 minutes of simple but effective works full of hard tones and metal banging. Tape/Exit/Kill from original DAT tape, live recording with decayed and crude industrial-noise attack! Includes liner notes by the artists. Limited to just 200 copies!!

JAZZKAMMER - 'New Water' 3" CD (OHM Records)
Jazzkammer's Lasse Marhaug and John Hegre, captured live in Singapore in 2003, during the height of the SARS epidemic. "This CD sees them playing with noise and feedback, despite the use of some water sounds and short outbursts of rhythmical elements. For the bigger part it's still Merzbow influenced noise music" (Vital). 20 minutes of beautiful broken sounds and horrendous feedback! Comes in a beautiful little gatefold digifile.

JAZZKAMMER - 'Sound Of Music' 3" CD (OHM Records)
"The title of this Jazzkammer (Lasse Marhaug / John Hegre) release is a very nice reference to their tactics: they create sound out of music. With the help of electronic equipment and a guitar, they blast their way through definitions of the term that shocks so many. This little disc leaves no questions about Jazzkammer's intentions: they want noise and they'll make it happen. In twenty minutes time they offer the whole spectrum of the genre as we know it: fierce rumbles, glitches, hisses and piercing tones. And not to forget: some looped melodic elements, heavily distorted and, more often than not, buried under an avalanche of other noise... Way to go!" (Vital). Comes in a little gatefold digifile.

JOHN HEGRE / LASSE MARHAUG / HELGE STEN - 'The Comfort Of Objects' CD (OHM Records)
A one-shot collaboration CD recorded over two years, where the three artists (John Hegre of Origami Replika and Jazzkammer, John Hegre of Der Brief and Jazzkammer and Helge Sten of Deathprod) reworked the same source material, not knowing what the others would do with it - resulting in three very different solutions. From the intense and loud to the subtle and beautiful, "The comfort of objects" is Norwegian electronic music at its best.

LASSE MARHAUG & MARK WASTELL - 'Kiss Of Acid' CD (Monotype Records)
In recent years Lasse Marhaug has almost become synonymous with Scandinavian Noise. From his camp in Trondhem, Norway, he's been launching release after release with brutal noise both under his real name and with groups such as DEL and parts of the Origami Republika projects. London-based sound artist and composer Mark Wastell builds enormous atmospheres on the Tam Tam (here recorded at an abandoned school in Norfolk) with very little actual movement. Wastell's music is dark, deep and beautiful. Slow movements build up sonic pulses that are able to take over rooms and buildings. Together the duo have created over 40 minutes of drone / dark ambient. Gatefold ecopak.
LASSE MARHAUG - 'If The Revolution Could Start Right Now' SINGLE SIDED 7" (Ketchup Cavern)
Single-sided disc from one half of Norwegian duo Jazzkammer. "Lasse Marhaug has a discography as long as your arm and a list of previous collaborators that would scare the pants off us if they were all in the same room, but that wouldn't matter if he didn't drop the heavy jams... This is a physical record, instead of someone twisting knobs it sounds like someone slapping you around and yelling in your ear for five minutes and five seconds. Total radness!" Hand-numbered edition of 284 copies!
LASSE MARHAUG - 'It's Not The End Of The World' CD (Quasi Pop)
On this record Norwegian experimental / noise hero Lasse Marhaug plays with the methods and traditions of serious electronic avantgarde that are integrated into the aesthetics of loud and bloody harch noise music. A damn hard, loud and overloaded skillful thing, but exciting and highly intelligent at the same time. Originally issued on Chinese label Doufo in 2006 as a limited release, this fully remastered version contains extra tracks. Ltd x 500 copies in a digipak with new, stunning collage artwork and design by Lasse Marhaug himself.
LASSE MARHAUG - 'The Great Silence' CD (Troniks / PACrec)
"The Great Silence" is probably the best recording from Lasse Marhaug. As primitive as it gets, it is a devastatingly display of the finest kind of harsh noise, and yet another in the long line of records showing Marhaug's incredible feeling for vital and living noise. It was recorded in Jørgen Træen's studio, and was produced by Golden Serenades (Træen + John Hegre). "Fearsomely relentless" (Wire). Ltd x 1000 copies in a card sleeve.
LASSE MARHAUG - 'The Quiet North' CD (Second Layer Records)
Harsh-noise recording from Norway’s finest - Lasse Marhaug (Jazkamer, Origami Replika, Testicle Hazard etc). Guitar, pedals and metal objects used with ‘Reign In Blood’ style efficiency. No cut-ups, no drastic changes, yet the energy is sustained for the duration. Despite the minimal elements, this is not to be confused with wall-noise as this is highly restless material - pure forward driving energy from start to finish. Ltd x 500 copies in a 6-panel digisleeve.

MARANATA - 'Total Repair' CD (OHM Records)
Maranata has its aesthetic revelation well planted in the middle of grindcore, black metal, ritual music, noise and old school electro-acoustic design in varying degrees of decay. The main focus is on nekroimprov and total noise. This time joined by Manheim on Mayhem-ic drums. Ltd x 200 copies in a digipak with cover artwork by Lasse Marhaug.

ORIGAMI REPLIKA / KAPOTTE MUZIEK - 'Metamusikk' CD (Ichor)
Dissections of directions abound, and this disc is well named: what do you do after music is out there? Try ripping its heart out. Live recordings by Lasse Marhaug (Jazzkammer) and Tore H Bøe (Origami Republika / Galaktika etc) torn apart, with no overdubs. The music ranges from dense, 'old school' noise to raw, fundamental noise. Kapotte Muziek, brings proceedings to a heady close - remixes, cut-ups and experiments. A great noisy assault on the senses!

WALDCHENGARTEN - 'Distractions' CD (Phisteria)
Really low-end ambient, sporadic humming pulses and blasting noise from this Danish artist (who recently released a 7" on Drone Records). “The senses are hit by a typhoon of charged electricity which sends your mind into a cabinet of mirrors where darkness folds and unfolds. The sound image presents itself as an inseparable unity in which myriads of parallel sequences are constantly undergoing transformations. Transcend through ethereal radiation!” Mastered by renowned Norwegian artist Lasse Marhaug. Nice piece!
