██ From the press-release:
██
██ Espen Joergensen is an acoustic guitarist and
██ composer. Wait; that is too modest. Espen
██ Joergensen is a virtuoso.
██
██ He started out playing drums at the age of nine,
██ making the switch to electric guitar at fifteen,
██ and beginning a professional career five years
██ later. In 1995 he won a Norwegian Grammy with his
██ rock band Green Cortinas, and a # 2 spot hit
██ single on the national radio charts. He did not
██ like the razzle-dazzle of the music business and
██ walked out of the band two years later. He joined
██ songwriter Unni Wilhelmsen for a four-year stint,
██ immersing himself in the music of Pentangle, Nick
██ Drake, Richard Thompson, Michael Hedges, Jeff
██ Buckley and especially the Canadian Daniel Lanois.
██ In 1999 the two made it to New Orleans to cut an
██ album with long-time Lanois collaborator Malcolm
██ Burn. A crossroad to Espen, who at this point
██ decided to leave the rock behind and walk into the
██ desert.
██
██ "On the Great Alkali Plains" is the result of the
██ seven years since. The pieces were there, but not
██ the master. It has been a long road. On his own.
██
██ This is Espen Joergensen's music.
██
██ Recorded at the legendary Rainbow studio Oslo,
██ with five fine mics and straight to analogue tape.
██ One man and his instrument, no overdubs, no
██ appendage, except the distinguished guest,
██ percussionist Terje Isungset [ECM], famous for
██ crafting his own instruments out of Norwegian
██ nature: Arctic birch, granite, slate, sheep bells
██ and even ice.
██
██ Forget folk and let new age be. The Church City
██ Mission has already ordered 300 copies to be
██ handed over to Oslo's many street junkies, along
██ wih clean needles and a hot cup of coffee. A
██ little comfort in times of distress.
