From the one-sheet:
“Re-Make Re-Model is the result of a five-year dialogue between Norway and New Zealand sound artists Lasse Marhaug and Bruce Russell.
What first started as a friendly challenge during the Covid19- lockdown to re-work selected works from each other’s catalogue – using different techniques and experimental approaches, challenging each other to go to extremes – extended to what is now a double-CD and a 100-page book package of writings and photos.
Each CDs has eight tracks, a total of 100 minutes of music. The book has extensive notes to each track (often with comments by the corresponding artist).
In addition there’s a lengthy essay by Bruce Russell on the project’s origins and the nature of collaboration and noise making; a photo series by Lasse Marhaug; a series of stills by Bruce Russell taken from a video piece; as well as cover artwork and biographical notes.
“It quickly became apparent to me that the distinguishing aspect of this collaboration wasthat it was a competitive exchange, an ongoing game of ‘one-upmanship’ in which we each sought to outdo the other in terms of the inventiveness; the baroque and pointless complexity; or the sheer bloody mindedness of the studio processes which we were inventing to transform the other’s work into something ‘rich and strange’”
– Bruce Russell from his essay
