An experimental Nordic jazz work that reconstructs the poetic world of the late Olav H. Hauge—Norway’s preeminent national poet—as a new musical composition by transforming his voice through sampling, cut-up techniques, and effects processing, based on an archive of his own readings. “Black Hauge,” a commissioned work for the Ulvik Poetry Festival—a celebration of literature and poetry—was co-produced by writer and poet Erlend O. Nødtvedt and the Erlend Apneseth Trio, known for their releases on the Hubro label.

Olav H. Hauge, a Norwegian poet who lived as an apple farmer and was deeply devoted to haiku and Chinese poetry. Using audio recordings of his recitations made during his lifetime as source material, this work places the acoustic and rhythmic aspects of his poetry at the core of the music, boldly transforming the poems through sampling, morphing, cut-ups, and effects processing to create a new artistic form. A unique and ambitious work, released in 2025, that fuses these poems with a highly improvisational ensemble incorporating elements of traditional music, centered around the Hardanger fiddle. 140g vinyl. This is the first release in Japan, and stock is extremely limited, so please order soon. (Original Japanese text by Adachi)
