Private Collection

Øystein Sevåg

This is the exclusive collection of Øystein Sevåg’s electronic soundscapes created between 1983 and 1990. It was made in the time before the birth of his first solo album Close Your Eyes and See. Sevåg is working with humor, precision and a sense of playing with the human consciousness.
Most of the pieces were made for collaborations with visual artists.
