Øresund Space Collective | FESTIVALPHOTO
| Øresund Space Collective The Øresund Space Collective was formed in April 2004. It started off as a collective of Danish, Swedish and American musicians that got together as often as possible for free form improvised space rock music. The flavour of the music is different with each session. The jams can often combine complex interplay between guitar and synthesizer as well intense drumming and bass playing. We have always had two guitar players and two or three synth players as the core to compliment the bass and drums. We enter into the genre of funk, jazz, reggae and space rock as we improvise our way along. The jam sessions used to alternate between Malmö and København across the Øresund bridge! The collective of nearly 20 musicians features current and former members of the Danish bands Mantric Muse and Gas Giant as well as the Swedish bands Bland Bladen. Additional musicians from the Swedish bands the Carpet Knights, Drahk von Trip, Siena Root and Sgt. Sunshine have also played with us. The collective records all of the jam sessions and concerts and makes these available to fans via the web site in MP3 format. We currently have over 35 hours of material on the web site for free download. Our debut CD was released on the Malmö, Sweden based Transubstans label (http://www.transubstans.com) from Malmö, Sweden in January 2006. It was a limited edition of 500 hand numbered copies, which is now sold out. The band’s space rock masterpiece, the 2½ hr double CD, It’s all about Delay was released in Oct. 2006. The bands next studio CD, The Black Tomato was released as a deluxe digipack in August 2007. The band released its 4th CD called Inside your Head on the Sulatron Record label in Austria in August 2008. The bands 5th CD was released in Feb 2009 and is called Good Planets are hard to Find. The band has also released a series of 12 CD-Rs called Picks from Space which feature the best of the jam sessions 1-20 as well as some studio outtakes. The band has also released a double DVD “live at Loppen” in 2008. The next OSC release is due out on vinyl in late 2009 on the Pariah Child/Kommun2 label. The band has played concerts in Germany, Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Norway in the last few years and played the Kildemose Festival in Denmark for the last two years and headlined the Slottskoggen goes Progressive Festival in Göteborg in August 2008.
