New Age composer and keyboardist Øystein Sevåg was born in Norway in 1957, offset pianissimo lessons at age quintuplet. As a teen he played bass in a rock band only returned to his classical roots in time to study pianissimo, fluting and composing at the Music Conservatory of Oslo; by the 1980s, however, Sevåg had get transfixed by the possibilities offered by the development of the synthesiser, and he plunged into electronic music with his self-released 1989 debut LP Close Your Eyes and See. The mathematical product of cinque years in the studio, the album lento crept into Billboard's New Age charts, and it landed Sevåg on the Windham Hill mark to number the followup, 1993's Connexion. He returned deuce eld later with Global House, a book reflecting a newfound stake in acoustic sounds and worldbeat textures; Ocular, a quislingism with guitarist Lakki Patey, followed in 1996. Signing to the Hearts of Space mark, Sevåg resurfaced in 1997 with the acclaimed Bridge deck.
