Geir Kjaerland was born in 1975 and raised in a small village in
western Norway, but has for the last 10 years lived in the city
of Bergen, Norway. He started playing bass and guitar at the age
of 14, but his interest in music started before he had even
learnt to talk. His musical background ranges from metal,
improvisational rock, pop and electronica and he has for 10
years been playing bass and guitar in the experimental
impro-rock band Palindrom. He started making “acoustic
electronica” in 2000 and founded the project Electrolurk in
2006.
Even though made halfway digitally, his music is warm and
acoustic sounding. He samples his own sounds, cuts them up and
pastes them together, into beautiful and catchy melodies that
fits as much for the dance floor as for the pure listening
pleasure. His main instrument is the guitar, but he also records
his voice and plays the drums and other kinds of acoustic
instruments for use in his music.
His music stands out from the rest of the electronic music of
today, as his music is a mixture between electronic and acoustic
sounds. The result of this is a warmer and more human approach
to electronic music.
