Lasse's past collaborators include Merzbow, Kevin Drumm, Peter Rehberg, Otomo Yoshihide, Russell Haswell.
"Marhaug has an impressive range at his fingertips, veering wildly from shock-tactic maximal noise, to near-silent contemplative drones. Much of the time loud and noisy, but also playful and even quiet, wintry and respectful of space and silence" (Ed Pinset, The Sound Projector)
"It basically sounds like your speakers are damaged, or are going to be damaged soon if you don't take the fucking cd out of the player" (unknown online review)
220hex / Gisle Frøysland has for over a decade been one of the key figures of the Norwegisn electronic arts scene. He is a founding member of BEK - the Bergen Centre for Electronic Art, initiator/maintainer of the FLOSS videoapp MøB, and main organiser of the Piksel festival in Bergen, Norway. Since the early 80ies he has been working as a musician, VJ and visual artist, building installations where modern technology and communications is in the main theme and often using various kinds of sensors and cameras to interact with the audience.
