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.

Electrolurk "Non Capisco Ep"
available for free via Stirsound!
"This Ep opens
with the big beat and crash cymbals of
Kinetic Kenosis. The title track,
Non Capisco, follows bringing in more
melody but keeping in step with the glitch.
Green Leaves Turned Brown builds
slowly into a wall of harmony with each
layer of guitar. Clapping Hands is
energetic with vocal harmonies and a
whistled melody. On the last track, Shut
Up and Dance, he shows us his
versatility with a solid straight beat and
arpeggio bassline."
