Crónica is very happy to announce two new releases by Alexander Rishaug, the limited-edition LP “Ma.Org Pa.Git” and the remix album “Ma.Org Pa.Git Re.Mx” both now available from Crónica and cronica.bandcamp.com.
Ma.Org Pa.Git is the fifth solo release from Norwegian sound artist and experimental musician Alexander Rishaug, exploring the space, the acoustics and the mechanics of a church organ, and the hiss, overtones and feedback of an old tube amp and electric guitar. The album consist of two long duration pieces that were recorded in the Norwegian Seamen’s Church in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, in January 2012, and edited, mixed and digitally processed in Brugata and studio oran/zen in Berlin. Even though the material is heavily processed and recomposed, the overall feeling is genuinely spacious and acoustic.
