about

Lasse Marhaug (b. 1974) has since the early 1990s been one of the most active artists in the Norwegian noise/experimental music scene. As a performer and composer he has contributed to well over 300 CD, vinyl, and cassette releases over the years, as well as extensive touring and performing live on all continents of the world. Marhaug was born in the northern regions above the arctic circle of Norway, but currently lives in Oslo.

"I chose this track 'Ends to No Means', because it was the first track that hit me when I first heard the Catacombs demos. In the mix I used both the demo and the album versions. Catacombs is a dark album, even for The Observatory, so my approach for the remix was to go venture further into the darkness. I wanted to obscure the melodies and rhythms and to liquefy the pale skulls of the dusty catacombs into a hallucinogenic elixir. I didn't want the remix to simply be a friendly gesture towards a group of musicians I admire. It needed to be a proper musical statement, built on the foundations of The Observatory's ideas. That's why the track became a 17-minute monster that fills an entire side of this double vinyl set. I'm sorry if I went too far and take up too music space, but some things you just have to go with all the way. (I would have cut the track down had I been asked to, but I'm humbly grateful that The Observatory chose to include the full version for this release). I worked on the track on two trips to North America - first in Mexico, and then a month later when I went to USA (New York). Both sessions were done in a fevered haze of jetlag, which always hits me hard when I travel west. Listening to it now it almost feels like it's the work of someone else."
