MICRONOISE

About Me


MICRONOISE is the music from Sigmund "Micro" Espedal, guitarist in the Norwegian Pop/Rock band MAIKA . MICRONOISE is contemporary music, ambient, noise, soundscapes - mostly based on intuitive improvisation, either alone or in collaboration with other artists, such as in the project VARDE.
Micronoise uses mostly guitars and different analogue and digital stompboxes and occasionally computers to manipulate and generate sounds, building soundscapes ranging from beautyful ambient harmonics to heavily painfull noise...
Micronoise is inspired by his own fantasy and by Norwegian and international artists like Maja Ratkje, Deathprod (Helge Sten), Keith Rowe and others.
Micro has worked with music on different levels since 1982, in different genres spanning from traditonal classical music, punk, pop & rock, metal and electronica. He is currently working full time with his musical projects, and is happy to share his music to the world!
