The Fires of Ork

The Fires of Ork (sometimes incorrectly referred to as Fires of Ork) was a collaboration between Pete Namlook - the mastermind behind the Air and Syn aliases and an illustrious, diverse composer who has dipped his toes in almost every genre - and Geir Jenssen of Biosphere, an icy, isolationist ambient techno outfit that metamorphosed into unmitigated Artic-ambient adventures by the end of the 90's, and has evolved that style substantially well into the next decade. With tFoO both musicians incorporate their straight-up techno pedigree and an aura of science fiction to create plodding cosmic epics, inciting images of extra-terrastrial conurbations and machinery - the samples from movies such as "Dune" accentuate this effect. Namlook adopts a less rigorous approach to songwriting often preferred by Jenssen, and thus the pieces blast off into space with no friction or inertia to hinder their progress.
