Star Turbine is the long-distance duo of Sindre Bjerga from Stavanger, Norway and Claus Poulsen from Copenhagen, Denmark. They have never met.Sindre Bjerga is a very active live musician, touring 2-3 times evey year since 2006 all over Europe, and have released more than 200 records, mostly known from the hyper-productive duo Bjerga/Iversen. Lately he has mainly been playing more solo gigs, including improvised voice as a new element in the mix.Claus Poulsen is a ”formal” multiinstrument musician as well as noise improviser and music producer, who enjoys working in very different music styles. Claus has worked for 8 years in Sound ensemble Alarm112, and now with Small Things on Sundays (amongst many other projects).The long-distance collaboration seems to work very well, producing 3 records in the first few months. Bjerga and Poulsen have different musical styles, sound and instrumentation, but as Star Turbine these differences seem to balance out to form a creative forcefield. They share an interest in experimental music and improvisation and have worked with drone, noise and ambient, but might very well do other things on the future as well.Equilibrium is the condition of a system in which competing influences are balanced. Equilibrium is also the first of Star Turbine's work to be released - proud to be on the Striate Cortex label with extraordinary handmade covers by head honcho Andy Robinson. Equlibrium is a box with two 3” CD's. The first CD starting off with a string of powerful drones rising in intensity, the second CD contrasting it with two longer ambient pieces - in equilibrium.
