Arve Henriksen - Cartography

180-gram double LP, made in Germany

A shifting cast of characters, with live sampling man and album co-producer Jan Bang at the center, provides a series of soundscapes, an ambient-experimental map of moods, for the uniquely liquid, singing trumpet lines of Arve Henriksen to scale and explore. Some tracks are recorded live in concert, others are studio creations. Singer David Sylvian reads his own poetry on two cuts.
