Burning Tree are Dag Stiberg and Dag Erik Knedal Andersen. Andersen is perhaps best known for his "hyperactive, take-no-prisoners" approach to drumming. He has been a ubiquitous presence on the Norwegian improvised music scene over the last couple of years, and has toured all over Europe with groups such as Golden Dawn, Cunt Rash, and the now-inactive Supersonic Rocketship. Dag Stiberg has been studying alternative approaches to the saxophone sound for a decade, both solo and with his band Maranata. Mostly known for his wide use of guitar effects, he has taken another approach in the band Burning Tree, which explores the sounds of the acoustic realm. Burning Tree decided to go into the studio in February 2011 and record an acoustic session. They had recently done a lot of noise stuff with their noise bands Cunt Rash and Maranata and wanted to bring that energy to this recording. The result is a very harsh free-jazz tape with five tracks -- total 35 minutes -- with extremely dirty saxophone and ecstatic drums. Cover features an illustration by Florian Hetz. 200 copies only.
