harlequins enigma announces 6 cd testament due for release in january 2014.

harlequins enigma the band is now back with a hot 6 cd set album release
covering the very best of all material produced from 2008 till december
2013. the albums are released as a 3 part double album series. the first
called "tears". the second "at the standstill", & the third called
"thinking of the future". harlequins enigma owner åge riisnes was
introduced to music in 1991 via protracker on the amiga platform. he
had like all others a hard time starting from scratch producing music.
his goals in the 90`s was to become boom jinx, atjazz & mantronix`
equal in skills but ended his career in 1998 with a footnote claiming
to have reached an above intermediate state in music. his comeback
in 2006 through 2007 was also tracker based, untill 2008 where he
started his 16 bit career in the 16bit professional league. later in
his career he refers to an incident that happened at haukeland sykehus
in bergen, norway (a psychiatric hospital) in 2000 or 2001. here a
senior doctor called him a medium & he was was quite stunned to hear
such a message. in music åge riisnes has made mental/spiritual contact
with professional musicians such as vangelis, tangerine dream, jean
michel jarre, klaus schulze, jan garbarek, kate bush, dave weckl,
kitaro & many others. in 2009 harlequins enigma produced 400 tracks,
both 8 bit & 16 bit, & many of them made it to finished masters. åge
reports these new compilations to be top of the line masters from his
solo & coop career with others. the music included is a hot topic how
a brainchild have coped in his struggles to reach a professional level
as a composer, & also how the material will be received by the media &
critics for apprentice åge riisnes. åge sees himself as an apprentice
compared to vangelis, jan garbarek, jarre, schulze, tangerine dream,
kate bush, garbarek, kitaro & dave weckl, but admits that some of the
pieces have evergreen potential & should not be missed by fans of
electronica, dance & new age music, & fans of jarre, vangelis, schulze,
tangerine dream, kate bush, kitaro, jan garbarek, dave weckl & others.
åge reveals a secret about the 3 double albums, where most of the
material was sessions made in record speed, & how he took challenge
after challenge with jean michel jarre one day to kate bush or
tangerine dream another day.. it was for him a big challenge, but
despite lots of headaches & trouble with hackers, he has succeeded &
release this 6 cd set digitally with a glad heart. åge recalls the track
lite side of the moog which lured klaus schulze to him where later a
coop of 15+ tracks were made by him, klaus & others totally. vangelis
was the first person to appear mentally in a coop that got complete
with harlequins enigma in mid 2008, when the band was very young &
saw the making of the track 3 footsteps. kitaro was first man aboard
with help for a struggling åge who made a track called brown eyes,
where kitaro shared his expertise. åge also played a series of solo sax
sessions with jan garbarek & many drum sessions with dave weckl.
sara jensen, katie leung, elin berge & other members of åge`s family
were somewhere around the corner during the making of this 6cd testament.
åge has in real life little or no contact with the busy composers that
has been in sessions with him during the harlequins enigma period, that
came to life in may 2008, when the band was founded. åge has a milestone
or two for the record. one is being recommended with his 8 bit track
90`s waves featuring jean michel jarre, sara jensen & elin berge on
junodownload.com under leftfield in april 2012. the other is the
jean michel jarre track "bells" from metamorphosis, that åge partially
made in 1991 as a protracker module. the track was used by jean michel
jarre in 1998 under a time of worldwide engagement when åge was
hospitalized in a survailance case, which led to the resignment of prime
minister jens stoltenberg in norway. åge`s life has been spent in his
municipality fjell since 1995 where he still lives. åge feels though
as he has been living in taboo city while he was there, & wishes for
the media to take interest in what is going on. åge is a medium, an
agnostic, &
left the state church in 2010, & believes strongly in god, & that certain
religions can be horribly fanatic like christianity. åge is a
member of dyrebeskyttelsen norway & amnesty international & has wished
for piece for a long time during his career in music & poetry. he has
made a joke about it seeing his mind as the globe. where hurricanes
runs wild, but earthly as he is he says he survives & like the breeze,
the quiet life & the more feminine values as his life`s path.

åge urges journalists & music/media/radio personell to take contact for
reviews and/or interviews around harlequins enigma`s latest 6cd set
that is a remarkable piece of history, all made for the people of our
world.

the tracks on this 6 cd set were mastered in various mastering studios
