Norwegian electronic producer, Lindstrøm, presents new single “Blinded By The LEDs,” a commissioned work to preview his forthcoming performances later this month celebrating the 50th anniversary of Henie Onstad Kunstsenter, Oslo’s famous futuristic waterside modern art center gallery and live venue. The sold out performances happening August 23rd, 25th & 26th take place exactly 50 years after the legendary Norwegian contemporary composer Arne Nordheim performed “Solitaire,” an electro-acoustic contemporary composition, on opening night in 1968. For these performances, Lindstrøm will do an entirely analogue performance of 10+ songs live on more than 20 analogue synthesizers and drum machines with visuals.
Out today via Smalltown Supersound, “Blinded By The LEDs” is a reference to both Bruce Springsteen and Manfred Mann’s Earth Band. And rather than riff on Nordheim’s musique concréte, Lindstrøm has woven his own signature tapestry of influences and inspirations into the song, including Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill,” ESG’s “Moody,” Queen’s “Back Chat,” Liquid Liquid’s “Cavern,” Sheryl Lee Ralph’s “In The Evening,” John Carpenter’s “Assault On Precinct 13,” and Lindstrøm’s own “Fast & Delirious.”
