Artist picture
I am a musician in the electronic music genre (some call it New Age or Ambient, but I prefer to simply call it electronic music).
All songs composed and performed by Rieg. I am a musician in the electronic music genre (some call it New Age or Ambient, but I prefer to simply call it electronic music). I only uses hardware synths, no pc's except for writing the compositions using musical notation for my songs. I composes by using a combination of both musical notation and my keyboards until a project is finished. I have issued 3 cassette tapes in 1980/81 in the early underground days of todays electronic music. ("Source", "Music for Wind", "Voices") and one CD "Return" in 2007. The two last of the early cassettes was later re-issued in 1998, as CD's from the original master tapes. All covers are created by the art painter and my brother, Jarl-Hugo (Jarli) (also the father of Akeron). My older brother, Jarli -did also run an underground electronic music magazine those years, called "Agitasjon". He also helped other artist releasing their works via his magazine, including the UK artist Mark Shreeve (Redshift), which some of you may have heard of. This was a fine time and we also personally learned to know Klaus Schulze from Germany when he and Rainer Bloss visited Norway as a part of Klaus Schulzes biggest europe tour in the 80's. Discography: Source (1980 cassette), Music for Wind (1980 cassette), Voices (1981 cassette), Music for Wind (1998 re-issued as CD), Voices (1998 re-issued as CD), Return (2007 CD), Absynth (release 2009 CD).

Story behind the song
Ending of my 20 minutes mini concert at the Boheme Party in Os County, Norway, the 7'th June - 2008. The yearly Boheme Party is mainly a party where art and culture are in focus, at the same time as the party is going on. This song was special made as an intro/regards to the about 100 guest "Bohemes" and it was also the start of my mini concert. This song's name (AbSynth) is derrived from the alcoholic drink (Absinth), popular in the Bohemes epoke around the time (1900) when August Strindberg (one of the fathers of modern theatre) and Edward Munch (the Norwegian art painter) lived. The problem with Absinth is that it was believed to cause madness if consumed regularily over a long period of time. As far as I know Strindberg's pshychological problems was at least partially believed to be caused by his Absinth use over long time.
