Live: The Geordie Approach feat. IRU: Tetsuya Nagato + Katsuhide Morimoto High Wolf (from Brazil) Chicayoloh (from France) Artist Information: The Geordie Approach  The Geordie Approach is a collaboration between the two Norwegian musicians Petter Frost Fadnes (sax) and Ståle Birkeland (drums), teamed up with guitarist Chris Sharkey, a Geordie born and bred. This uncompromising and experimental trio pursues music within loose improvisational structures, adding a surprisingly broad range of flavors to their overall sound world. Their creative ideas grow within a large and open musical ‘space’, and the trio has a reputation for adapting and utilizing their performance space in an extremely effective and engaging manner. In their untiring quest for brilliant and unusual musical destinations - Birkeland, Frost Fadnes and Sharkey produce musical elements that often are contradictory in shape, moving between melody and noise, ambient grooves and abstract textures. The Geordie Approach released their debut album “Why Eye” on Simon Fell’s French label Bruce’s Fingers back in 2007. The album generated great reviews in both Norway and The UK, as well as several other corners of the world. In 2013 their second album "Inatween" featuring artwork by Tetsuya Nagato was also released on Bruce’s Fingers and was the venerable label's first release on vinyl since 1991. IRU Tetsuya Nagato Katsuhide Morimoto High Wolf  In between Herzog’s Aguirre and Levi Strauss’ Sad Tropics, mysterious and psychoactive, High Wolf’s music mixes cosmic loops, fuzzy guitars, droney synths, mystic vocals and tribal percussions, inspired by primitive and ritual music as well as adventurous modern music. Hyperactive and globalized artist, continuously on the move all around the globe, High Wolf never stops to produce and collaborate from the beginning, in 2009. Revealed with the release of his first tape on the californian label Not Not Fun, starting point of a long term relationship with this influent label (another tape in 2011, 7” and debut LP in 2010, another LP planned for 2012). In 2011 anotheramerican label, Holy Mountain (Om, James Ferraro) released his second Lp album entitled “Atlas Nation”. In the same spirit than Sun Araw, some of the Sublime Frequencies artists and classic Krautrock legends High Wolf opens a mental and synaesthesic window with his equatorial electronic psychedelia.
