“Last year Marhaug’s duo with John Hegre as the ongoing Jazzkammer was in The Netherlands to play the Earational festival and took up the occasion to record a session at the VPRO radio studio and now being released in what should be known by now as the John Peel sessions for underground music: Staalplaat’s Mort Aux Vaches series. This is not the first entry for noise in the series, following Merzbow and the Sensorband. Jazzkammer has one piece to play of sonic overload, building from scratch. A high pitched tone, scraping the surface with a contact microphone and from there building things up by adding layers of nasty frequencies. As the piece evolves the high end techniques of laptop noise start to mingle with low-end electronics. This work, a straightforward, unedited recording is of course more uniform in approach than the edited work of Ratkje/Marhaug, and therefore a bit on the regular side of noise. But even at that, Jazzkammer on an ordinary day is way more interesting than many other noise heads on a good day.” (FdW)
