"Of course Sindre Bjerga needs hardly an introduction, I would think. He's in the pages of this weekly a lot, either with new releases, or with touring information (which part of the world didn't he travel?), who works here with Robert Skrzynski. He works with "no-input mixing board, old VHS tapes, classic analogues and field recordings" and has had releases on Already Dead and Amplified Music Pollution. He also designs covers for labels such as Monotype and Bocian. The two of them already had a release on Aurora Borealis and now there is 'Momentum'. There is no indication as such on the cover, but I strongly believe this is the work of collaboration through mail. I am unaware of Skrzynski's output, but I wouldn't be surprised if he had the final say in this work, as it doesn't sound much like what I heard of Bjerga. Two long pieces, both almost thirty minutes, of highly minimal ambient music, with sparse in- and output of sounds and what seems a total absence of sound collage, Bjerga's more favored working methods. Two pieces slow liquid sound, which work very well on a slow day."
