Finally
available to the public this week, is Terrestrials, the
expansive, ghostly, collaborative works created by the members of SUNN
O))) and ULVER on an improvisational nocturnal whim.
Following
their 200th gig, playing before 2000 people at the Øya Festival in Oslo,
Norway, August 10th, 2008, SUNN O))) ended up in ULVER's
studio, Crystal Canyon, and over the course of the night they created three
live pieces which faded out at dawn as the northern sunlight began creeping
into the space. Featuring the shared efforts of Stephen O'Malley, Greg
Anderson, Daniel O'Sullivan, Kristoffer Rygg, Jørn H. Sværen and Tore
Ylwizaker, with ghost appearances by Ole-Henrik Moe and Kari Rønnekleiv (viola/violin),
Stig Espen Hundsnes (trumpet) and Tomas Pettersen (drums), Terrestrialswas
produced by Stephen O'Malley and Kristoffer Rygg, mixed by Anders Møller at
Crystal Canyon during February and March 2013, and mastered by Jaime Gomez
Arellano at Orgone, London. Art direction was handled by Stephen O'Malley,
featuring a portrait of our sun, captured in the wavelength of hydrogen alpha
light -- 656.3 nanometers in the deep red -- on June 10, 2012 by Alan Friedman.
