  • Description

    With the release of 'Ophelia's Arrival' and 'Minotauros', many listeners will gain access to an unfamiliar aspect of the career of the highly creative Ketil Bjørnstad - his electronic ballet music from the 1980s presented here remastered on one set.

    The eighties was the decade of the keyboard revolution, and through his ballet projects Bjørnstad had an opportunity to collaborate with some of Norway's best sound designers and synthesizer programmers.



    All the music was composed, arranged and performed by Ketil Bjørnstad (Emulator, Korg, Moog, Yamaha and Fairlight keyboards), with Alf Emil, Eik Geir Langslet and Kjetil Bjerkestrand (keyboard and emultaor programming).



    Ketil Bjørnstad is one of Norway's most productive artists. He has an impressive list of achievements, and is a prizewinning author, musician and composer. So far he has managed to have around forty books published, and has released nearly sixty records in a variety of genres. His releases on ECM and Universal have earned him a growing international audience.
