Biografie:
Erik
Wøllo was born in Hemsedal, Norway (1961), and he has been a professional
artist since 1980. His
musical
experience covers a wide range of styles from rock and jazz, to experimental
electronic and classical
music.
He has
been composing and performing music for films, theatre, ballets and exhibitions.
As well as composing
for strings,
woodwinds and larger orchestras. As a guitarist he has been leading his
own groups, playing at
clubs,
concerthalls and festivals in Scandinavia , the USA and Canada.
During
the last decades, he has produced solo albums at his own "Wintergarden
Studio". His music has been
released
on CD worldwide. His music has been very well recieved in music magazines,
and his solo albums
have

He creates
music that is both lyrical and rhythmical with emphasizing melodic and
structural formations. With

and electronic ambient music. This synthesis shows on his albums as he
mixes of technology sounds
with
the acoustics gathered from the environment.

reflects the musical currents of our time while offering the listener a
highly original and exciting
sonic
experience.
