C.O.U.
Staying up all night with the C.O.U.
Made for dance-floors and home alone parties; this is one hour of high-octane Pastis and expresso-fuelled C.o.u. Electronic pop tunes beatmixed into eachother starting at the ridiculous speed of 160 bpm (disco is 120) and then it just gets faster and faster and then Dag Stiberg is playing freejazz-saxophone over them wild breakbeats and that deep bass.
C e n t e r o f T h e U n i v e r s e
Center of the Universe (C.O.U.) started as a reaction to the solitary feeling of beeing the only guy around who was equally crazy about Eastern European folk music, jungle, French progressive rock from the seventies and lo-fi. The musical climate in Oslo's suburbia was so depressive in the early nineties that any attempt to make happy and experimental music at the same time was bound to be unpopular. Sissyfus, the only member of C.O.U., gave himself ten years to achieve cult-status.
↓ more ↓The first years he spent as a "casette only" artist in the spooky village Skjetten, then he moved to Oslo. Unwilling to send demos and even more unwilling to drink beer with the "right" people, Sissyfus made the very first Metronomicon-CD-R and the rest is history (but it’s not this history because this is a text about the Center of the Universe not the story of Metronomicon Audio, even if these stories have pretty much in common).
Being rejected by the conservative Rock n' Roll hegemony in Oslo (at least the first years), the Center of the Universe was "discovered" by the famous playstation-duo Töyen, and they played his songs on the radio. Finding an audience in techno clubs, art spaces, illegal parties and in people’s homes, the C.O.U. made a lot of concerts and released a lot of CD-Rs the following years. Sometimes alone and sometimes together with drummer Dj Jubel, singer and accordionist Sara, violinplayer Moriarty(tm) and Ergo; the paganini of the tone-generator.
The C.O.U. has played concerts all over Europe, and in many cities in Norway. C.O.U. has also made a lot of remixes for different artists, made some music for the performances of Monica Winther, some installations with the Sister of the Universe, done a lot of Dj-ing as Dj Sissyfus and played many concerts as support act for the nice band Salvatore.
