A slow moving vessel in a dream like world

About Me

You have been marked on my profile map! Click to zoom-in.

make your own map at: www.modmyprofile.com Origami Galaktika first saw the light during Christmas 1994 when Benny Braaten in cooperation with younger brother Kjell Øyvind recorded what was to become the first lp "Stjernevandring".Since then there has been many tours, playing in Churches, galleries, festivals, squats, concert halls etc. in Europe, Canada and the USA, and many releases in various formats.An evening with Origami Galaktika is an evening of mainly organic sounds, as field recordings and lots of different acoustic instruments, electronically performed through samplers and minidiscs. A slowly moving vessel in a dream like world.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.1
