Metamorfózy

Metamorfózy's "Decasia" is the soundtrack to a film that has not yet been made. It's the soundtrack to the movie that you could make yourself. Metamorfózy is Rune Lindbæk and Øyvind Blikstad. Lindbaek is one of Norwegian music's club pioneers, with one foot in the Tromsø Electronic scene that emerged in the eighties and the other in British club culture. Through two decades; Rune has played a central role in defining electronic music and the internationally acclaimed Norwegian Disko sound. His other achievements include the UK top 40 hit "More to Love", recorded with Bjørn Torske as Volcano, and a collaboration with Lindstrøm. The Meanderthals project along with British Acid-Disco heroes Idjut Boys and celebrated Ambient as Pechenga (both released on Smalltown Supersound). He has remixed for many prominent labels with Kåre Frisvold as 'Frisvold and Lindbæk' and has released records on influental imprints like Noid and NYC's Modal. . With Blikstad and Metamorfózy Lindbæk further explores soundtrack composition, as he has done on several short films and with the celluloid sound prominent on the three Alanïa and Drum Island albums recorded with Röyksopp. Øyvind Blikstad has been trained in musicology and is working as a producer and composer. He has created sounds for art, film and theater. Blikstad never leaves the house without a sound recorder, as he constantly seeks out new sonic experiences for musical inspiration when walking around his native country as a "Norwegian Martin Hannet"! The Metamorfózy metamorphosis happened when Lindbæk and Blikstad met in 2009 at the 'Mungolian Jet Set's' Christmas party in Oslo's legendary Hotell Bristol. They ended up being seated next to each other and before the pudding had arrived Blikstad stated simply; 'I think we have to work together'! "Decasia" is the result of this meeting, people from different places that immediately hit a tone. With references to Brian Eno, Craig Armstrong and Barry Adamson, Metamorfózy daub on a broad musical canvas. From the symphonic melancholy of "Theme from Metamorfózy " to the poetic Pop and Dub sensibilities of "Towlines" and "Fata Morgana" and the slide into iced Nordic ambience.
