a
norwegian
TV site with an article about NPM including a link 'siek ut Molvaers
bootlegs her' (!).
heroes Ole & Michael made a rough translation: Nils
Petter Molvær has a gang of enthusiastic fans that puts out concert-tunes on
a website almost before they are played to the end. but Molvær
belives that electronic downolads are the future. NPM
has planned both film and theater music + his new album ‘Streamer’ + a
tour. the
title is not a casual choice. Molvær is excited about the future for
electronic downloads and sees it as a good opportunity to spread the music
thorugh new channels. as long as people pays for it, of course. the
tumpeter has fans all over the world, and often experiences to be reviewed in
british and american musicmedia before he gets reviews at home. |

added some “memories” from the fuerth gig this year in pics section … Marcello
attended the Rome
show on 2004-06-28 and wrote: The style was the same as always with the wide use of soundscapes, lyrical Trumpet lines. But what impressed me most was that they jammed a lot after starting the tunes. The only ones which were from the previous albums were Vilderness and Platonic Years. But unrecognizable: a great re-arranging, basic tracks totally changed, often the rythm patterns were different too…” |
