Two new album releases have been added to the discography section! I'll try to add some audio samples soon.

Audun Automat - Inside the Beehive (PLING Music)
This is Audun Automat's second release and consists of 8 pieces composed by Audun Ellingsen. The pieces varies from high-energy modaljazz to contemplative soundscapes - from chaos to perfect order. The music is based on strong melodies, complex structures, virtuosic improvisations and small hints of inspiration from far and near. The album is recorded on analogue equipment to get that organic sound of the 70's.

The Rainbow Band Sessions (Logen music)
The best from recent sessions at the famous Rainbow Studio in Oslo with musicians like Jan Erik Kongshaug, Erlend Slettevoll, Knut Riisnæs, Atle Nymo, Frode Nymo, Roy Nikolaisen, Stig Hvalrygg, Roger Johansen, Andreas Bye ao.
John Surman and John Warren has arranged and composed most of the songs. John Surman is playing on all tracks.
