Crime Scenes

The Norwegian musician/producer team Jan Bang and Erik Honoré’s first release under the Punkt logo is the album “Crime Scenes”, featuring guests like David Sylvian, Sidsel Endresen, Nils Petter Molvær, Arve Henriksen, Eivind Aarset and Audun Kleive. The album was launched at this year’s Punkt Festival in Kristiansand (August 24-26), which was curated by Bang/Honoré and featured many of the musicians who appear on the album.

The starting point for ”Crime Scenes” was a collection of short texts written by Honoré. These lyrics were used in various ways to trigger both vocal and instrumental tracks. The result is 13 “crime scene snapshots” beautifully sketched by means of voices, instruments and electronics.

Bang/Honoré have worked together for a long time and produced and remixed albums and tracks for a wide range of Norwegian and international artists, including those who appear on “Crime Scenes”. When the duo isn’t collaborating on records or festival projects, Bang is an active live musician performing with Molvær, Endresen and Jan Garbarek, among others, and Honoré works with other projects and productions besides being an author who has published three novels to date.
