DIE, allroundhandwerker (NO)   Øyvind Skarbø´s solo band. A drummer known to many genres, but as "Die, allroundhandwerker" all boiles down to a mix of his own alternative percussion techniques, sometimes using the whole kit at the same time with the help of marbles, sticks and stones. Anticipating magic, patience is a key factor as his shows are static and minimalistic, yet completely unpredictable.                                                             www.myspace.com/oyvindskarbo

ASIS (SA) So. A drummer drives his instrument towards a spontaneous catharsis. The saxophone becomes a simple tube driven by circular breathing. A bassist neglects his duty, offering a burst of raw impulses rather than being the clichéd bedrock. A trombonist switches to accordion, forgetting the fundamental differences. And a mandolin player, his hands full of wire and switches, creates signal paths impossible to navigate beyond the labyrinth. Manfred Zylla (trombone, violin, piano – accordion) Garth Erasmus (saxophone) Roderick Sauls (bass) Brendon Bussy (mandolin and electronics) Niklas Zimmer (drums)

Øystein Skar (NO)  Øystein been performing heavy classical piano for many years, but after moving to Oslo the main focus moved to modern jazz, experimental music, avant-garde, rock, composing and electronic music with analoge synths and Lap-tops.
