Erlend Viken, “Storpolsdansen,” live
This guy I stumbled upon the other day, as I do so many things, listening to the radio (Transpacific Sound Paradise, WFMU-FM, Sat., 6-9 p.m. [EST]). His studio performance, and interview, can be heard here.

Sigbjørn Apeland, harmonium
“Blond blå,” live

Who are we, if not a combination of experiences, information, books we have read, things imagined? Each life is an encyclopedia, a library, an inventory of objects, a series of styles, and everything can be constantly reshuffled and reordered in every conceivable way.
—Italo Calvino, Six Memos for the Next Millennium (trans. Patrick Creagh; 1988)
