SKY ETUDES
The first vinyl record in 30 years to be released and produced in Europe in a quadraphonic format.
The record is a result of a collaboration between perceptual psychologist Paal Rasmussen and Doctor of Music Craig Wells.
The record meanders through a dense tapestry of field recordings, ambiances, modular synthesis and jazz tinged futurisms. The double album opens novel listening adventures that are accessible to the ear and the compositional milieu works through a diverse spatial syntax that is detailed and mobile and rich in proximities.
We will be printing a limited batch of 250 vinyls as the first release on NRF Records and Tapes Bergen, Norway with many projects in various stages of production.
This vinyl is a Regular Matrix encoded pressing that's playable on all normal Stereo systems, but yields up to 7 channels of surround sound on receivers equipped with a suitable decoder, including Dolby Pro Logic II.

Pins and Spheres
Vonrik Haug
«A cracking of thunder rips the sky open, it highlights the grey and cleaves open the equilibrium of the ecology, making one wonder at the giant electroacoustic snapping in the sky. A sound so powerful that it silences all that is around and leaves the ground voiceless. Energetic possibilities are profound and performed, there is earth and sky but certainly no divinities or mortals, just idolatry folding in on itself creating totems and shrines.»
Such is the intensity of Vonrik’s latest release - part of the work done towards his PhD at the Grieg Academy in Bergen, Norway.
This double album features Electronic Soundscapes, original Field Recordings and Modular Synthesis galore.
The vinyl release is a Regular Matrix encoded pressing that's playable on all normal Stereo systems, but yields up to 7 channels of surround sound on receivers equipped with a suitable decoder, including Dolby Pro Logic II.

Border Town - Time Scales
Vonrik Haug
“..a tableau of sonic tapestries that documents his adventures on the border of the Scottish Highlands.
Emotionally captivating, and full of movement, the recording is Haug presenting a more rounded, almost cinematic sound stage, haunting and evolving, yet concrete and easy to grasp.”
