Certainty of Tides

The music for 'Certainty of Tides' was initially recorded with the Norwegian Broadcasting Orchestra with Nils Petter Molvaer as a soloist in 2020. He had asked several wonderful Norwegian composers to arrange a set of music from his back catalogue. 'Have a listen to the recordings I did with the orchestra and tell me what you think' he told Norwegian composer, musician, and producer Jan Bang. Since the original recording was close mic'ed for broadcasting purposes, Bang saw an unfulfilled potential in the material due to lack of space in the initial recordings. Bang came up with the idea of re-amping the mixes playing the music through speakers in a concert house followed by re-recording of the result through distant microphones. With 76 speakers (one per instrument) carefully placed exactly like the orchestra would have been seated onstage, 'Certainty of Tides' was recorded from microphones strategically placed in the large hall of Kilden Concert House with phenomenal acoustics. The re-amping and re-recording produced astonishing results. Some of the pieces needed additional colour. Bang invited two of his highly talented electronic music students at the University of Agder (Kristian Isachsen and Even Sefenias Sigurdsen Frodesønn Røsstad). Both given freedoms to create their own sound based on their own personal taste. The final mixes were put together by Øyvind Kurszus at Kilden Studios supervised by both students, Molvaer and Bang. Helge Steen has mastered the recording. Knut Sævik has re-sampled the drum track (played by Peter Baden) on 'Simply so' and mixed the Song as well.
