Electronic ’80s-’90s ambient recordings by Norwegian artist Erik Wøllo released for the first time

Ethereal musings from Scandinavia.

A collection of recordings by Norwegian composer Erik Wøllo, called Sources: Early Works 1986 – 1992, is being released for the first time, this March via Smalltown Supersound.

Influenced by Jon Hassell, Brian Eno and Harold Budd, Sources is Wøllo’s 42nd album, and follows his collaborations with artists including Steve Roach, Ian Boddy, Byron Metcalf and Bernhard Wöstheinrich.

The ten tracks were created with a Roland MSQ 700 sequencer, with several MIDI synths/modules recorded directly into either a 2-track stereo recorder or a 4-track Tascam Portastudio.

It has been mastered from the original tapes by Helge Sten (Deathprod) in his Audio Virus Lab.
