Plans for 2012

1. Nordvargr: The Dromopoda Transmissions. Two versions will be released; one cassette and one CD version. They do share a few tracks, but that is all. All music is recorded with Buchla and Harvestman oscillators which have been treated with a wide variety of devices and mangled with a lot of radio interference. Insectoid drones, mysterious voices from the air and strangely distorted sonic landscapes.

2. Merzbow vs Nordvargr: Partikel III. The final chapter in the Partikel series. This time everything has been improvised using analogue equipment and modular synthesis. No computers in the signal path! Soundwise a very different conclusion to a most rewarding collaboration. Out on Cold Spring Records later this year!

3. “Snuffed”: A collaboration with Eraldo Bernocchi. This is planned for late 2012 on Vital and is currently under construction.

4. I am working on another vinyl-only release to be out on OEC later this year, this time a dark ambient recording. No more info at the moment… currently under construction.

5. New MZ. 412 album – We are currently scattered over a few continents, but we still keep recording. A slow process, but it is slowly taking shape.

When time permits it there are plans for a new Folkstorm album as well as a release with the new band Öeth. Not forgetting Pouppée Fabrikk of course – a new album is in the works. Also a possible CD re-release of “Otyglad best”. All in all, a calm and nice year.
