ICH BIN N!NTENDO, a young fresh “in-your-face” trio playing improvised noise-punk, is now out with their debut album on the Oslo-based label Va Fongool. On board they have two of the most critically acclaimed noise-improvisers Mats Gustafsson and Lasse Marhaug.
ICH BIN N!NTENDO is a hard-hitting Oslo-based trio consisting of Christian Winther (electric guitar), Magnus Negaard (electric bass) and Joakim Heibø Johansen (drums). During the spring 2012 they teamed up with Mats Gustafsson (winner of the Nordic Council Music Prize 2011) at a concert organized by the Concert Series "Lillesalen Konsertserie" at the Norwegian Students' Society (Chateu Neuf). The meeting was particularly fruitful and has resulted in a release, that musically finds it self in the intersection between free jazz and Grindcore and a focus on the free improvisation as well as a powerful rhythmic drive. It represents a very exciting generation and development within the innovative music. The trio really pushes the boundaries of the what the expression "sound" can handle, which is only heightened by the extreme lung capacity of the experienced Mats Gustafsson.
Mixing and mastering is done by Norway's "noise-king", Lasse Marhaug, who was delivered the music with no strings attached, so he could do exactly what he wanted with the raw material. The result has been that all the already powerful sound has been pushed to (and beyond) their absolute maximum, which makes the whole thing even more massive and "in-your-face".
