Pearl Collection
Øystein Sevåg
“The music from this CD stems from a specific period in my life in which the boundaries are clearly defined at both ends: The time in the yellow house in Bogen, Stokke, Norway. I moved there in 1984, and I am moving out in a few months, right before the new millennium.
In the 250-year-old house which is situated on the shore of the Oslo Fjord, I had the opportunity to build my own recording studio where almost all the music from this period was recorded. And I had the time to develop my own musical language.” – Øystein, Feb. 1999.
