ノルウェーのポストパンク・グループJeg Faltのメンバー、Kai MikalsenとTor Jørgensenによって80年代半ばに結成されたポストインダストリアル/アンビエント・プロジェクトSketch。86年から89年までの間に録りためた音源から選曲し、初期ベストトラックスとして販売されていたセルフタイトルのテープが、過去の知られざる秀作に光を当てるレーベルForced Nostalgiaの手によりCD化。プロジェクトはこのテープを発表後に一端解体されましたが、BiosphereとThe Orbに深く感化を受けたことをきっかけに再始動。2人のもとを訪ねてきたGeir Jenssen（Biosphere）を通じてベルギーのApolloレーベルに音源が渡り、94年ファースト・アルバム「Reasons To Sway」のリリースへ至ったとのことです。

bio. Sketch is a post-industrial, architectural ambient project founded in the mid 80s by Norwegians Kai Mikalsen and Tor Jørgensen, both ex-Jeg Falt. Their 1994 debut proper "Reasons To Sway" was released on Apollo after high school protege Geir Jenssen played a DAT to the R&S people. Sketch continued to produce organic soundscapes til 2002, both live as in the studio. Members are still active in the field of visual arts and music as Kobi and Magnetic Plural. - Forced Nostalgia

[889] Biosphere - Secret Thirteen Mix

実験音楽/アンビエント/現代音楽/サウンドアートほか、昨今の先鋭アーティストを紹介するウェブ・ジャーナル「Secret Thirteen Journal」。ミクスト・コンピレーション「Secret Thirteen Mix」シリーズのアーカイヴより、昨年1月に公開された、ノルウェー・トロムソ出身のベテラン作家BiosphereことGeir Jenssen（ゲイル・イェンセン）。

…
“Secret Thirteen Mix 054” is a conceptually selected, sentimental music compilation that gradually connects 16 original vinyl records by such influential musicians as Throbbing Gristle, Yellow Magic Orchestra, Bill Nelson, The Human League, Pyrolator and other unforgettable talents. In 1992 the author of this mix listened to the works of Pete Namlook (1960-2012) for the first time and it reminded some of the electronic music heard around 1979-1981. This music was an inspiration for the author to start making music, so this mix is a try to create an atmosphere similar to the mood of the album by Namlook - secretthirteen.org: extracts from notes

Tracklist:

1. Pyrolator – Minimal Tape 1/8

2. Dome – The Red Tent I

3. Throbbing Gristle – Beachy Head

4. B.E.F. – The Old At Rest

5. Chris And Cosey – Moving Still

In 1985, after the split up of the political unit 'White Hospital', Tomo Kuwabara started up the unit Vasilisk with Yukio Nagoshi (percussions/guitars) and Chiaki (percussions).  They made a first album called 'Whirling Dervishes' in 1987, released through Eskimo, which was the label established by Yun 'Grim' Konagaya. In this album they played several and unusual instruments: African skin-drums, African flute, Tibetan percussions, Ancestor's voices. In 1988 they made a second album called 'Mkwaju' with the same line-up and also released by Eskimo. Just after the release of this album, Tomo and Yukio joined Rose Mcdowall's new project Candy Cain. They toured through Japan during most of 1988. Around that time, Luciano Dari invited them to release their next album on his label Musica Maxima Magnetica. After the collaboration with the Rose's project in 1989, they started to record their third album 'Acqua' in London and Naples (Italy) with the same three members. 'Acqua' was released at the end of the same year by Musica Maxima Magnetica. After they came back from Europe, they started to compile and remix their previous material from the three albums in order to release their most intensive tracks on their debut CD release, entitled 'Liberation and Ecstasy'. After that they went into a long silence of 5 years. Tomo traveled around Asian countries for nearly 2 years starting in 1991, in order to search his identity as an Asian.... Most people knowing and expecting a lot from this unique band, were thinking they had stopped all activities, but that was not true! In fact during this time they had recorded two (still) unreleased albums. The first unreleased one was recorded in 1993 and it was called 'Tongue'. At that time the line up was changed as Yayoi (voice), Hidero (guitars) and Tomo (percussions). In 1994 they went to Moscow in order to make their own documentary program on TV and join the Contemporary Music and Art Festival. In 1995 they made a second unreleased album, recorded in Tokyo. Unfortunately they decided not to release these 2 albums as they thought the sound was odd and incomplete. They went further in song-oriented direction including a female vocalist...but they felt that direction was inappropriate for them, because of the lyrics; whereas most artists are using lyrics to express their policy, they felt the lyrics were a constraint, since they tend to define the image of music and imagination of listeners. After those chaos years, Tomo met Tsuyoshi (keyboard) and they started as Vasilisk to create a new sound with another method of musical expression. They were admiring the techno-sound with strong rhythm to create a state of trance like ancient shamans....full of united groove. So they choose the psychedelic trance sound which stimulates their brain directly without any words. - Discogs: Vasilisk
