Spectrum, Hanne Hukkelberg and Salvatore live at the Oya Festival, Oslo, Norway

Spectrum, Hanne Hukkelberg,Salvatore Oya Festival


The Oya Festival took place between the 7th and 11th August in
Oslo's medieval parc, daytime rock-festival joys giving way to a
plethora of inventive night-time activity courtesy of Oslo's
independent promoters. Kosmische club played host to Sonic Boom
(Spacemen 3)'s SPECTRUM project, combining vintage analogue
electronics and myriad sounds coaxed from an array of mini
keyboards and circuit bent toys. Opening with an oblique homage
to Kraftwerk's 'Hall of Mirrors', before drifting into almost
vintage Spacemen 3 territory, the droning half-light broken by
pulsing neon-bursts of electronics, bathing Pete Kember's warm
tones in a aquatic blue glow. The daytime festival on Saturday
was opened by Norwegian chanteuse Hanne Hukkelberg, whose
haunting songs, orchestrated with glass celeste, sonic-bicycle
wheels, harmonium amongst other exotic instrumentation, tug at
the heartstrings while moving to increasingly oblique
time-signatures. Closing the Saturday night was
Salvatore, whose motorik autobahn-rock moves to a more singular
rhythm, colliding unstoppable Neu! propulsion with dub effects,
cinematic crescendos and shards of astringent
electronica.
