  BBC - Experimental Review - Deathprod, Deathprod
Listeners think of Helge Sten (for that is the name Deathprod was born with) as an electronic musician, and he certainly seems more inclined this way when performing with the Supersilent quartet.
Deathprod homes in on the scraping minutiae, matching it with his swollen mass.
Ole Henrik Moe is Deathprod's other violin foil, and on Imaginary Songs From Tristan Da Cunha, he's captured on wax cylinder, then re-converted to digital, like an ancient found recording, boxed-in and warbling.

  Somnambule ~ Review of Deathprod
Such suspicions are underlined by the packaging of this anthology of mostly rare and long deleted releases: four fl cds housed in four fl digipaks squeezed into a fl case with a fl booklet, the darkness of the whole emphasised further by the white of Rune Grammofon’s trademark sans serif typeface.
Deathprod’s music also resonates with the work of early Faust, the gestural paintings of Franz Kline, the outsider music of Nurse With Wound and the isolationist ambience of Thomas Koner.
With the former Deathprod successfully resists the impulse to embellish, with the latter he gradually applies and dissolves dark clouds of sound, like some sort of vaporous alchemist.

  NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Deathprod
Deathprod is a musical pseudonym used sometimes by Helge Sten for his ambient-influenced music.
Deathprod´s burgeoning drones move relentlessy forward at glacial pace, while ominous crashing and echoes of ghostly choirs are heard from the horizon.
While Deathprod has proven himself to be an engaging improvisor with death-jazzers Supersilent and a talented engineer, he is clearly most at home hovering in his studio allowing his virus to chew away at a world of unsuspecting sound.

  Deathprod - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Deathprod is a musical pseudonym used sometimes by Helge Sten for his ambient-influenced music.
On recordings, he is usually credited with "Audio Virus," a catchall term for "homemade electronics, old tape echo machines, ring modulators, filters, theremins, samplers and lots of electronic stuff." [1]

 KindaMuzik - Albumrecensie: Deathprod - Morals and Dogma
Waarschijnlijk zonder het te beseffen - Morals and Dogma is een compilatie van vier oudere, nooit eerder uitgebrachte stukken - heeft Deathprod aka de Noor Helge Sten (ex-Motorpsycho, Supersilent) een album gemaakt dat een coherente soundtrack zou kunnen zijn bij eender welke oorlogsdocumentaire.
Veel belangrijker is echter het feit dat Deathprod het heeft gepresteerd om hoogst abstracte muziek te voorzien van een enorme dosis emotie, iets dat maar weinigen is gegund.
De luisteraar is dan ook de gelukkige derde, hoe donker en troosteloos de muziek ook is.

In his music laboratory in Oslo Deathprod (Helge Sten) works at the threshold between the latent potential of musical technology and the forms of life that sound assumes: the life of vibrations; the life of imagination.
A guiding principle in Deathprod's laboratory work is that his music should have the capacity to evoke images without becoming excessively programmatic.

In his music laboratory in Oslo, Deathprod (Helge Sten) works at the threshold between the latent potential of musical technology and the forms of life that sound assumes: the life of vibrations; the life of imagination.
Deathprod is suggestive of last and first things, physical decay and the processes of production, decomposition and composition, the breaking down of sound that precedes fresh musical creation.
A guiding principle in Deathprod's laboratory work is that his music should have the capacity to evoke images without becoming excessively programmatic.

 Opus // Music Reviews // Deathprod - Morals And Dogma (2004, Rune Grammofon)
Deathprod is one Helge Sten, a member of Supersilent, a band known for creating intriguing, spacey sounds and otherworldly drones, and like the band he hails from, he uses plenty of interesting sonics and drones to produce heady masses of sound.
Calling it such seems to undermine the craft that Deathprod is working at here, and emotions aside, this is some amazing ambient music.
Deathprod creates soundscapes that are huge, deep, cinematic, and cerebral; this is the kind of music that demands your complete attention, and is just too good—and too overwhelming—to serve as mere wallpaper.

The revolving record player that is my ipod has been churned and tossed this week; both physically out of a locker and musically through rotation of multiple fantastic discoveries.
Helge Sten offers up the darkest and most absorbing soundscapes with an isolation and eeriness akin to the haunting worlds of artist Zdzislaw Bekinski.

 DEATHPROD Deathprod 4CD Box Set
Intertwined with these are two 1995 pieces by the Jürg Mager Trio, with Deathprod and Snah, aka Motorpsycho guitarist Hans Magnus Ryan, on Hammond organ and Bent Sæther on drums and percussions.
Beautiful, dense and emotional, Imaginary Songs From Tristan Da Cunha is certainly Deathprod’s most ambitious and complex record to date, demonstrating that, despite his young age, Helge Sten already had an incredibly clear vision of which direction to head to and the determination to establish his sound.
Although Deathprod is not actually credited at all for this track, his touch is still perceptible, if only in the contextualisation of sounds.

And as Julian Cowley writes in his liner notes: This is an invitation to listen, to see, to feel and grow.
His music is composed and thoroughly prepared, and much of the material in this box set has without doubt a complex, evocative and grand character not unlike that of classical music.
The sounds vary over the four discs, but it may be necessary to take a break from the sometimes overwhelming atmosphere of the dark and lonely places that dominate this release.

 Aquarius Records: Search Results for Keyword: Deatbox4cd
Deathprod is the solo experimental audio project from Supersilent and Motorpsycho member Helge Sten of Oslo, Norway.
Previously the only work by Deathprod we stocked here at Aquarius was the split cd with Biosphere on Rune Grammofon in which the two artists reworked fellow Norwegian Arne Nordheim's electronic compositions.
Often it is the very limitations of the equipment that Sten uses that become the sources for the beautiful timbres he produces: an oversaturated tape input, a primitive sampler that never reproduces the same note the same way twice, or the uneven decay from primitive tape delays.

 Norsk Musikkinformasjon: Deathprod: Deathprod
This massive four-volume CD box compiles Deathprod’s (aka Helge Sten of Motorpsycho and Supersilent fame) most central works: reference frequencies (selected works 1991-2001), treetop drive (works from ’93-’94), imaginary sons from Tristan da cunha (1996) and morals and dogma (works 1994-2000).
The box documents the sound artist (and self-described “audio virus”) development from the early ‘90s lo-fi cassette tape experiments to later years minimalist excursions in open sonic fields.
‘Deathprod’ represents a potent distillation of Sten’s music, simultaneously concentrated and diffuse, mining seams of potentiality in mood and slow movement, at once finely detailed and vast, microscopic and boundless, breaking open temporal cells to access zones of timelessness.

 Brainwashed - Deathprod   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Deathprod, though long and diverse, is an excellent introduction to Helge Sten's work.
These two songs, released as a 7" for Christmas in 1995, are not only comedic and fun to some degree, but they're both moody and atmospheric enough to outline the scene of a hazy bar in a David Lynch film, populated by only the strangest of his characters.
Recorded between 1994 and 2000, Morals and Dogma is Sten's newest Deathprod release and proves itself to be his most emotional and enthralling work.

On his own, he has released a trio of records under his Deathprod moniker as well as a split album of Arne Nordheim remixes with like-minded Norwegian artist Biosphere.
He's also made a name for himself as a member of the experimental rock group Motorpsycho, with whom he was nominated for a Norwegian Grammy in the late-'90s.
Morals And Dogma is also available as part of a box set that includes both of Deathprod's long out-of-print prior albums and an entire CD of previously unreleased material.

On the one hand, it seems a shame that Susanna and the Magical Orchestra and Deathprod, to cite two examples, are represented by single songs, in this case the devastatingly beautiful “Believer” and predictably funereal “Twin Decks” respectively.
But in the next breath, one realizes that while, yes, the practice is strategic—the label presuming that an enticing teaser of an individual artist will draw the listener further into its catalogue—it's also reasonable, as it's the one way the label can showcase its roster within a 100-minute running time.
It's ultimately moot, however, whether the contents are originals or interpretations when it's all shrouded in Deathprod's signature gloom; anyone listening for traces of Molvær's guitar playing, for example, will hear little trace of it.

 Deathprod // Helge Sten
Deathprod / Deathprod (2004; Rune Grammofon; RCD 2036)
Deathprod こと Helge Sten のセカンドアルバムで、彼の芸術アカデミー卒業製作でもある。1996年3月9日、オスロの Rockefeller という大きなホールでのライブ録音。トータルで40分弱、全5曲のうち最初の4曲はいずれも2分弱程度の短いスケッチ風の短編で、乾いた手触りの無国籍でミニマルな音楽。メインとなる5曲目 "The Contraceptive Briefcase II" は Helge Sten らしいアンビエントで、ゆらりゆらりとした音響の中、女性ボーカルもまるで「音」の1つのように響く。どこまでも深く底が見えない淵を覗き込んでいるかのような感覚を覚える。揺れながらも静かに盛り上がったり、またすうっと引いていく、それが30分以上も緊張感が途切れず、時間が経つのを忘れた頃にどっと拍手と歓声が沸き起こる。名作。 (2003/01/14)
Supersilent のメンバーとして、またロックバンド Motorpsycho の元メンバーとして知られる Deathprod こと Helge Sten が、トロンハイムの芸術アカデミー在学中にリリースしたファーストアルバム。その Motorpsycho のギタリスト Snah こと Hans Magnus Ryan がギターではなくヴァイオリンで参加している以外は全て Helge Sten による音。静かなストリングの短いモチーフで始まり、それが何度も繰り返されるようでいて、実はらせん状に進み、少しずつ変化していく。音響系とかアンビエントといった種類の音楽でとても寒々とした幻影が浮かび、ムンクの「叫び」を彷彿とさせるような(特にヴァイオリンの音)、静かな狂気がだんだんと広がってくる。アルバムタイトルにあるように4曲のみで、52分。 (2003/01/10)

Five Deathprod remixes of other artists, some of them difficult to find, one of them never before released, plus ”Deerstalker” from our ”Money Will Ruin Everything” compilation.
This is all prime Deathprod, all Deathprod one might say, as it´s virtually impossible to detect traces of the artists being remixed.
Printed in 1000 copies only and bound to become a collectors item, this is also an extremely rare occation of Deathprod on vinyl and a must have complement to the Deathprod box set.

Although they don’t represent the full development of the corroded “audio virus” sound that Deathprod is known for, this stuff still strikes my ear as almost stunningly prescient; they could hold their own against any contemporary example of abrasive electronic minimalism.
Deathprod collaborator Hans Mangus Ryan ornaments each iteration of the loop with a pained calligram scribbled out on a violin and boosted with spaced-out effects roar.
The four tracks which comprise this project evoke all the pleasures of anthropological recordings—they summon an unknowable, alien culture to mind precisely as vividly as a Sublime Frequencies or Nonesuch World release does—only it also manages (by virtue of its overtly fictional nature) to avoid the thorny issues of exploitation that complicate such recordings.

A member and producer of Supersilent, he also records under the name Deathprod (which was originally the name of his own underground cassette label) and until this year hadn't released any material on CD despite having been working on the creation of different sounds for nearly the past 10 years.
With this 4CD self-titled boxset, he lays bare almost 3 hours of music that range from simple frequency experiments to what is some of the deepest, darkest ambient music I've ever heard.

 Biosphere / Deathprod - Nordheim Transformed
Biosphere and Deathprod took turns "transforming" and manipulating fellow Norwegian (and electronic music pioneer) Arne Nordheim's original recordings.
I think Biosphere's influence restrained Deathprod, as there isn't as much of the noise and dissonance associated with their other releases.
It's also a landmark Biosphere release because it was the first release after the masterpiece "Substrata" and saw Jenssen turning even further away from his origins in pop electronica and more towards experimental and classically-influenced music.
