Listening back to all recorded tracks for “Landsbysladder 2” (Village Gossip, Pt. 2), destined for release on our upcoming studio album Landsbysladder (Village Gossip) in the fall of 2024. Trond apologizes for recording an abundance of extra percussion, Steinar comments on the unplayability of the vibraphone part, and Torgeir hears a phantom flute pop out of a dense mix…
First day in the studio, recording our new album! 
Trond juggles odd time signatures like a gymnast, while Anders and Torgeir keep the mood and spirits up, and make sure the catering is up to par and provides a well-balanced diet for our beloved drummer…
Part two of Jarle and Anders’ discussion of Raymond Queneau’s “Exercises in Style” and the challenges of making a musical theme that is supposed to spawn 99 variations.
For this part, we dig deeper into the music and have a closer look at the first four variations. Stiløvingar [Exercises in Style] can be bought on our Bandcamp at a reduced price for a limited time:
The first installment of our “Stiløvingar”-project is due for release on Bandcamp on Friday July 2nd! These are the first four of a total of 99 (!) variations on the same theme, based on Raymond Queneau’s book “Exercises de Style” from 1947.
Anders and Jarle presents Panzerpappa’s ambitious Exercises in Style-project. They talk about its inception, the making of the initial theme, and the intriguing literary concepts of Raymond Queneau and the other members of OuLiPo.
