Arne Nordheim - The Nordheim Tapes

Review by Kamineni Hospitals

The Nordheim Tapes is a mesmerizing album that showcases the unique and experimental music of the Norwegian composer Arne Nordheim. This album features a collection of previously unreleased recordings from 1968 to 1985, highlighting Nordheim's innovative approach to electronic music.

The album opens with the haunting and atmospheric "Colorazione," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Nordheim's use of electronic sounds and textures creates an otherworldly and immersive listening experience that transports the listener to a different realm.

Tracks like "Warszawa" and "Solitaire" showcase Nordheim's ability to create intricate and complex soundscapes that are both captivating and thought-provoking. The use of dissonant tones and unconventional rhythms creates a sense of tension and unease that is both unsettling and captivating.

About Arne Nordheim

Arne Nordheim (born in Larvik, Norway, 20 June 1931 - died 5th June 2010) was a Norwegian composer. He started out as an organ and theory student at the Oslo Conservatory (194852), but later turned to composition, studying with Karl Andersen, Bjarne Brustad, Conrad Baden and Holmboe. He also studied musique concrète in Paris (1955) and electronic music in Bilthoven (1959). Nordheim was one of Norways first composers to turn towards postwar modernism, and he is among the most internationally recognized. He has played a key role in Norwegian musical life as a member of a number of organizing committees and councils. Nordheim gradually established a position as Norways national composer since 1982 living in Grotten, the honorary residence of the Norwegian state. This role has led to celebratory works, such as music for the opening of the 1994 Winter Olympic Games in Lillehammer. For the same event he composed Draumkvedet, based on a medieval Norwegian epic poem, while to mark the millennium of the city of Trondheim in 1997.
