ORCA - Í MÍNUM ÆÐRUM (DEADVERSE RMX)
ORCA - VOLMAR LETUR EYGAÐ AFTUR
(THE THIRD EYE FOUNDATION RMX, FEAT. COM-DATA)
ORCA’s debut album ‘Livandi oyða’ (CD+DVD) was recorded at Niels L. Thomsen’s farm Innan Glyvur, Faroe Islands, by ORCA founder Jens L. Thomsen. All instruments heard on the record were built during Christmas 2005 by Jens, family and friends using scrap material and power tools found at the farm. After finishing building the instruments Jens started composing and recording together with Jógvan Andreas á Brúnni, Magni Højgaard, Bogi á Lakjuni, and Kári Sverisson. Five days later they ended the recordings with a concert in the farm’s machine hall on New Year’s Eve as well as an additional recording session in January 2006.
As well as the original live material, the record features remixes by The Third Eye Foundation, Bookworms, Oktopus/Deadverse, and Com-Data. Included with the release is a DVD with two music videos, two live videos, from the concert on New Year’s Eve and a short documentary explaining how the instruments were made.
