Pjusk

Pjusk is a Norwegian electronica duo featuring Jostein Dahl Gjelsvik and Rune Andre Sagevik. Jostein is surely a familiar name to many, both from his work as Circular more recently and before that Neural Network back in the early 90s. Rune is a former promoter from the west coast of Norway and has being composing electronic music well over a decade. Rumours has it Pjusk was formed when Jostein heard one of Rune’s tracks on radio and the result of their ensueing contact was Pjusk, with their critically acclaimed debut album Sart released on Taylor Deupree’s credible New York-based label, 12k back in april 2007.

Their music is minimalistic and atmospheric, evocative and with a cinematic character, with vast, floating expanses and flavoured with lots of found sounds and field recordings. This evening Soundscaping Records has the great pleasure of presenting Pjusk in concert for the first time on Norwegian soil for a live performance including both familiar songs and teasers from their much anticipated follow-up.
