Erik Honore releases the final album in a trilogy that started with 'Heliographs' (2014) and 'Unrest' (2017). On 'Triage', Honore's sonic collages are constructed from contributions by a stellar ensemble: Sidsel Endresen, Nils Petter Molvaer, Arve Henriksen, David Toop, Eivind Aarset, Bjorn Charles Dreyer, Jan Bang, Kirke Karja, Mats Eilertsen and Anders Engen.

Erik Honore's solo album emerges as an intriguing exploration of sound, narrative and emotion, intertwining advanced sample-based techniques with literary inspiration and the distinct musical virtuosity of artists like Nils Petter Molvaer, Arve Henriksen, and Sidsel Endresen. The compositions are carefully woven together by Erik Honore, who in addition to live-sampling and other laptop based strategies also worked extensively with synthesizers, treatments and field recordings. Although most of the album is created by Honore's restructuring and rearranging of instruments and voices that seldom existed in the same room at the same time, the album maintains the seamless quality that he always strives for in his productions.

Delving deeper into the realm of artistic fusion, "Triage" also intricately weaves text extracts from writers such as Helen Coale Crew and Emily Dickinson, alongside poignant passages from World War 1 medical manuals, and texts by Erik Honore himself. Like on the Jan Bang / Erik Honore album "Uncommon Deities", produced by Honore and featuring David Sylvian, Arve Henriksen and Sidsel Endresen, texts serve as starting points for "Triage". Only fragments have survived on tracks like "The Bone Setter" and "The Cantos" - the rest has been sacrificed after serving as inspiration for the soundscapes. But in some pieces, the texts are featured in their entirety: Two Emiliy Dickinson poems, a poem by the lesser known American writer Helen Coale Crew, and the two pieces where Jan Bang sings Erik Honore's own lyrics.

This amalgamation creates a rich, metaphor-laden narrative that delves into the often-blurred lines between dissonance and harmony that is also evident in the music.

"Triage" is produced, arranged, edited and mixed by Erik Honore, mastered by Stephan Mathieu, and the cover design is by Nina Birkeland. The album will be released by Punkt Editions on CD and digitally.
