Kenneth Bager was invited to the cinema by
his dear friend, the movie enthusiast Peder
Pedersen. They watched the classic ‘The Thief’
by Michael Mann starring James Caan in the
lead role. The soundtrack was made by the
legendary German electronica band
Tangerine Dream. The music was pumping and
made an immense impression on Kenneth.

A few days later Kenneth had a visitor, Tolga
Böyük from the Turkish band islandman. The
two watched William Friedkin’s ‘Sorcerer’
once again Tangerine Dream delivered the
soundtrack.
Post watching the movie Kenneth and Tolga
felt the inspiration to do the soundtrack for a
non-existing. They started out composing five
tracks before going to bed.
The next day, still excited about yesterday’s
movie, the two came up with the album title
‘East of North’ (Tolga being from the east and
Kenneth from the north). Together they kept
up the good work and manage to produce 10
tracks within 24 hours.
They imagined that the music told a story
about two people on the ice sheet. One of
them treasonously tries to fool the other.
The album cover picture was captured on a
windy day near a beach in Hellerup, Denmark.
The music is a tribute to some of history’s most
significant electronic film composers: Vangelis,
John Carpenter and Tangerine Dream.
