Lasse Marhaug

Member of: Tongues Of Mount Meru

Lasse Marhaug, born in 1974, is a Norwegian musician who has worked mainly in noise since the early 1990s but drifts freely into improvisation, jazz, rock and extreme metal. He has appeared on more than two hundred releases and collaborates widely: Jazkamer with John Hegre, duos with Merzbow and Kevin Drumm, records with Jenny Hval and Maja Ratkje. He runs the Pica Disk label from Oslo and designs many covers of the Norwegian underground.
