*‘Recording Angel’*draws on influences from medieval Gregorian chant to contemporary found sounds and ambient polyphony.
“What makes Arve Henriksen special is that he is able to create his own musical world in which his haunting, often ethereal sounds are put together in what seem like musical postcards from some far off galaxy.
His long-term musical collaborator DJ Jan Bang creates a pool of samples, electronica and beats in which the full range of Henriksen’s musicality on trumpet and voice can flourish. The result is a series of subtle p[ostmodern collages that gently ripple through your senses” The Guardian
