Jo Berger Myhre : Live and video Manoeuvres

The music of Jo Berger Myhre‘s Unheimlich Manoeuvre mostly originated from solo bass improvisations, which  were first run through a glitchy chain of analogue effects, triggering further noises and  rhythmic tapestries from the bass itself, then augmented and layered with strata of other  musicians’ responses (Iranian tombak player Kaveh Mahmudiyan, Icelandic Ólafur Björn  Ólafsson on organ, vocalist Vivian Wang, Norwegian guitarist Jo David Meyer Lysne, pianist  Jana Anisimova and keyboard player Morten Qvenild), themselves also at times processed.  The resulting nine tracks sculpted eerie arcs of analogue patterns slowly melting into  industrial soundscapes, being there reassembled into familiar yet alien forms.  

Live Manoeuvres is the outcome of taking the natural next step: to take Unheimilch Manoeuvre out on tour, in formation with Morten Qvenild on piano and keyboards, Kaveh  Mahmudiyan on tombak and Jo David Meyer Lysne on acoustic guitars and self-made robotic percussion, allowing it thus to grow and develop on stage.
