Syntax TerrOrkester

A real Norwegian cult project. The experimental and multifaceted indie process started out in 2004 as a creative surplus outburst from Bergen School of Architecture (BAS) in Norway, initiated by Kunt Kunsten (Knut Andreas Knutsen) and fellow class mate and post-punker Mats Odin Rustøy (Fake Females), Knut Olav Holvik, Ronny Berdinesen and Kevin By. Later and former members are Atle Meyer Andersen, Roald Torkildsen, Arne Nordhammer, Ola Høyer (Cortex), Øyvind Solheim (DATAROCK, Ungdomskolen, BAERTUR).

Numerous members and associated acts ever since, with legendary producers Jørgen Træen, Yngve Sætre and Frode Flatland (Lars Vaular, Myra) as producers through it all. Collaborations with other artists such as Kjetil Møster, Miss Tati, Tarjei Strøm (Kjartan Lauritzen, Ralph Myerz), Vilde Tuv, Lars Vaular, Undergrünnen, Liliana Palanca (Love Pump), Iver Sandøy (Enslaved), O. Matin, Ingerlise Størksen (Epemera), Mari Kvien Brunvoll (Building Instrument), Johanne Birkeland (Tim Tygg), Stein Urheim, Leca, Kahuun, Fredrik Saroea (DATAROCK), Ketil Mosnes (DATAROCK, BAERTU), Øyvind Solheim (DATAROCK, BAERTUR), Eirik Glambæk Bøe (Kings of Convenience), Øyvind Storesund (Kaizers Orchestra), Anand Chetty (Lars Vaular), Kim Andreas Castillo Oen (Nelly Moar), with Kunsten being the captain of the ship all the way through.

As sure as the ocean is wide, you can always expect more to come, just not exactly what, from this distinctive and strange little organism.
