Current / Robert Solheim.
Robert Solheim, a self-taught musician, composer and dreamer since forever. Born on a small island on the west coast of Norway, he grew up between the sea, the mountains and the music; His mother playing guitar and singing and his father playing the accordion. Not quite sure what instrument to play he started out learning the organ, then played drums in a band for a while and eventually moved into the world of electronics and started to paint his own musical landscapes.
Since then he has released 5 critically acclaimed albums, the first 3 on the famous Norwegian label Origo Sound and the last ones on his own label CurrentMusik.
“Ghost Trip” from the album “Communion” was voted the 7 of 100 best Electronic Music tracks in the magazine E-dition together with other artists like Kraftwerk, New Order, David Sylvian, Biosphere and Ugress, and it became editors pick when it came out in 2003. Derek Sivert said “For the ambient electronic fan, these liquidy, rich and imaginative tracks are like a bubble bath for your brain.”
In 2005 “underCURRENTs”, a double album of unreleased material was nominated best ambient album and a track from the album “Waking up slowly” nominated best ambient track by “Just Plain Folks Music Awards 2006”.
Now resident in Spain, as well as working on several other projects and as a DJ, he releases his 5th album “The Dream Cabinet”:
“Exquisitely crafted genre music of a particularly fetching sort, The Dream Cabinet explores willowy ambience and plush velvet rhythms with equal aplomb, the sort of record which rewards endlessly enjoyable dividends.” review by Darren Bergstein, e/i Magazine
