about

"In today's society we experience a need to hold on to our right to dream and fantasize about the mysteries of the universe. As well as a tool of mirroring society, music also has a unique ability to pull us away from reality when it becomes too demanding of us. ‘I Want To Believe’ consists of music inspired by and named after phenomenons and ideas we want to believe in. We wish to give our listeners the opportunity to get carried away and drift off together with us, through the music." - Billy Meier

'I Want To Believe' is Billy Meier's third album release and marks a difference in their musical and visual expression. The album consists of a number of compositions that each member of the band has contributed to, as well as improvisational ideas that have come about through the creative process. It's a great variety that illuminates the personalities in the band in a wonderful way. The production is the result of a close collaboration with Norwegian producer and studio technician Dag Erik Johansen, working with an approach that draws more similarities to pop production than jazz production. In comparison with Billy Meiers earlier releases the sound on this album includes a greater deal of synthesizers, processed instruments, drum machines and roto toms, as well as the fact that they’ve been working with a dogma of not using any artificial reverb in the mix, but rather actively use of compression and delay. They touch upon the outskirts of their sound - from the soft and naive to the hard and progressive.

For almost 10 years, this band has left its mark on the Norwegian scene with its clear space concept and its colorful performances. The band's members are also heavily involved in other projects doing improvised music, folk music and pop music on the Norwegian music scene, such as Miman, Masaava, Kjorstad Brothers, Reolo and OJKOS
