Synopsis
A free-wheeling, artistic tour film about the joint 2011 ‘Black Oyster Tour’ of Alexander Rishaug und Erik K. Skodvin alias Svarte Greiner. Two Norwegian musicians, living in Oslo and Berlin, who have been releasing solo albums for many years, decided to go on their first tour together, travelling European cities to perform individual sets each evening, but also to improvise and meet fellow musicians like Kreng or Machinefabriek along the way. The trip led them to performances in galleries, leftfield clubs, stylish culture houses, record stores, etc. Though their music shares a few similarities, Rishaug’s sound palette is more elegant, based on old synthesizers and field recordings, whereas Svarte Greiner performs rough noise sculptures with guitar and lots of effects and pedals.
