"First non-Norwegian artists on the label, needless to say we really love this record and are proud to have it in our catalogue. With cello, guitar and electronics our Swiss friends weave a beautiful, detailed and fragile soundscape. References to ambient, electronica and contemporary music but basically beyond categorisation. We seem to be hearing Eno in here somewhere, but can't really say why. Both Archetti and Wiget have been involved in several groups and projects over the years, both as recording artists and touring in Europe, Japan, Russia and USA. Archetti is a member of vintage German psychedelic band Guru Guru since more than 10 years and appear on 4 albums including their triple CD set from 1999."

Title:	Low Tide Digitals II

Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	RCD 2046CD

Low Tide Digitals II is the sequel to this non-Norwegian duo's acclaimed 2001 debut album of the same name (RCD 2019). As with the debut, this is an Eno-esque, extremely fine-tuned mix of acoustic instruments and electronic elements. Switzerland-based musicians Luigi Archetti and Bo Wiget have created an album of sensitive, electronically-tinged free improvising. With cello, guitar and electronics, Archetti and Wiget weave a beautiful, detailed and fragile soundscape. Most see references to ambient, electronica and contemporary music but basically this release is beyond categorization. Archetti is a multi-media visual and sound artist, who has been active in both free improv groups and experimental rock since the late 1970s. Currently known as a member of the psychedelic group Guru Guru and also acclaimed for his work as a painter, Archetti has improvised with artists such as Urs Voerkel, Ellen Christi, Magikami Koichi and many others. Possessing a similar rock background, the last decade has seen Bo Wiget working with numerous improvisers including legendary Swiss free saxophonist Werner Lüdi, Czech singer/violinist Iva Bittova, and Japanese guitarist Taku Sugimoto.

Catalog #:	RCD 2087CD

This is the third and possibly final installment in the Low Digitals series by non-Norwegians Luigi Archetti and Bo Wiget. Low Digitals is a series of extremely fine-tuned pieces that mix acoustic instruments and electronic elements in a subtle and unforced way. The third volume is an album of sensitive, electronically-tinged free improvising, and is the work of two Switzerland-based musicians, guitarist Luigi Archetti and cellist Bo Wiget. Archetti was born in Brescia, Italy, but has been a resident of Zürich for more than 30 years. He's a multimedia artist, well-known for his work as both a painter and as a musician. Active in both free improvisation and experimental rock since the late 1970s, Archetti joined the influential German psychedelic band Guru Guru in 1990 and he has since appeared on three new albums as well as a live album. Bo Wiget was born in Wattwil, Switzerland in 1971 and studied classical cello in Austria at the Feldkirch Academy. Over the last decade, he has worked with numerous improvisers including legendary Swiss free saxophonist Werner Lüdi, Czech singer and violinist Iva Bittova and Japanese guitarist Taku Sugimoto. Wiget also works occasionally as an actor. Bo Wiget first played with Luigi Archetti in 1995 in the improv band Affront Perdu before the Archetti/Wiget duo was launched in 1998. Luigi Archetti: guitar, mandolin, electronics; Bo Wiget: cello, electronics, vocals.
