About Me

Isak Anderssen is a composer, musician and producer. Previously he has been releasing records under the alias of Upper Rooms , with two album-releases and more on the Norwegian label Beatservice . He has also been making music for/produced releases with Edit Rooms and Pointus Piratus on his own label Letzton , and he is also a member of the multimedia-duo Båndvidda (with Jon Halvor Bjørnseth). Isak Anderssen deals with a wide variety of styles and expressions. But whatever the setting might be, he deals with the simple and immediate and the hidden complexity that lies within the material he's working with.
In addition to a variety of electronica-projects, he's been working with ballet music, chamber music, music for theatre productions and sound-sculptures.
All Upper Rooms' releases can be purchased digitally on iTunes , MSN Music US , and Musiconline.no . Letzton releases can be purchased via the Letzton Shop
