Sult is an acoustic noise trio with members from Oslo and Oakland. Their music reflects the noise genre's concern with layers of sonic texture, though completely performed on acoustic instruments. Individual sounds run precariously aside one another as independent streams, and alternately blur into a unified mass.
The trio has been working together since 2007, and has regularly toured Europe and America. Their third album, Svimmelhed, will be released in November 2014, and a following album in collaboration with Lasse Marhaug is in progress. In 2014 the trio began working with live cinema artist Greg Pope, and was commissioned by Kunsthall Oslo to compose a new collaborative piece, Skeleton, for the Soft City festival.
ADDLEDS -- the quartet of Kyle Bruckmann , Tony Dryer, Jacob Felix Heule and Kanoko Nishi - explores timbral and textural extremes of distended instrumental technique via improvisation and open-ended compositional strategies. Their music tends towards a brutalist minimalism as informed by the noise underground as by recent developments in the field of free improvisation.
