Since its opening in 1991, the Museum for Contemporary Art in Roskilde has
focused on new music, sound art and the classical Avantgarde. In the
museum's collection it is possible to absorb video, sound works and
different forms of written and photographic material throwing light on time
based art - i.e. art forms without a lasting nature such as performance,
dance, spatial installations, experimental concerts, etc.

krydsfelt was founded in 1998 on the initiative of curator Hans Sydow in
collaboration with the museum's director Marianne Bech in order to widen the
focus the museum already had brought in with regard to the sound art scene.
From November 1999 to October 2000 krydsfelt has thus arranged a series of
happenings where artists from the Nordic countries have produced new and
original sound works at the museum on computer, and presented them for an
audience at the same place afterwards. The aim was to carry out a musical
and journalistic investigation of the Nordic electronic music and sound art,
across borders and genres.

On the CD 'krydsfelt-norpol' you can listen to seven of the works - new
sound from Denmark, Norway and Iceland - and furthermore, the enclosed
booklet contains statements from the artists taking part as well as two
fresh articles by Jakob Weigand Goetz and Rune Sochting, aiming at pinning
down the roots and substance of the new digital music.

Have a pleasant journey to the poles in the Nordic soundscape! And thanks to
the Development Fund under the Ministry of Cultural Affairs, the Danish
Federation for Musicians and the State Music Council who have contributed to
the realisation of the journey.

The cd is released on the label RESONANCE.DK, and is distributed by
MisLabel, telephonenumber: 0045 9838 0404. You can also send your order
directly via http://www.resonance.dk/RCD03.html .
