P\u00e5l K\u00e5res Elektroshop was formed when drummer P\u00e5l Hausken and producer\/keyboardist\/composer, K\u00e5re Christoffer Vestrheim drove a big truck-load of drums, modular-synthesizers, electronics and studio-gear to Vestrheim\u2019s rural country place in \u00d8stfold, Norway. They left all musical rules and boundaries aside and had at it with an open mind. The Idea of an \u201celectroshop\u201d had long awaited to reveal them selves, but now was the time for the much used backup musicians to explore the freedom and make music completely on their own premises.<\/p>\n
P\u00e5l Hausken started of he\u2019s career in the much critically acclaimed trio In the Country witch have 8 albums under their name. He have the last decade been one of Norway\u2019s busiest drummers. Hausken have toured with an extremely wide range of artists and have left he\u2019s mark on records with artists such as \u201cMusic for a while\u201d, Thomas Dybdahl, Ida Jenshus, Frida \u00c5nnevik, Solveig Slettahjell, Odd Nordstoga and many more.<\/p>\n
K\u00e5re Chr Vestrheim, was earlier this year once again nominated for the Norwegian Grammy awards as producer of the year. He has been the back bone of the making of successful records with artists such as, Highasakite, Odd Nordstoga, Marit Larsen and Motorpsycho to mention a few. With this new project Vesterheim is finally\u00a0bringing him self on to the live stage again after many a year as perhaps Norway\u2019s most central backer.<\/span><\/p>\n Within one week of long and inspiring sessions at the country home in \u00d8stfold, the duo\u2019s debut album was made. The sounds of birch wood, creaking doors, birds chirping and golden dust from the spirit of Vangelis paint the colors of their musical environment. All of this while Hausken\u2019s deep drums sound and Vestrheim\u2019s atmospheric synthesizers run like a red line in the duo\u2019s musical storytelling.<\/p>\n The result speaks of and album while moments of hushed, contemplative, moods, gives heady and riveting instrumental music where the mixing ratio of electronica and improvised music is like any other great mixed sugar water: Half by half.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n P\u00e5l K\u00e5res Elektroshop was formed when drummer P\u00e5l Hausken and producer\/keyboardist\/composer, K\u00e5re Christoffer Vestrheim drove a big truck-load of drums, modular-synthesizers, electronics and studio-gear to Vestrheim\u2019s rural country place in \u00d8stfold, Norway.
