mono-log er eit lite, uavhengig lydlabel / a tiny indie recording label
Ian
Ian Kolstad driver Monolog, et lite uavhengig plateselskap hvor han produserer og spiller inn musikk for lokale og fremvoksende artister. Gjennom selskapet gir han mindre kjente musikere muligheten til å uttrykke seg kreativt, samtidig som de beholder full kunstnerisk kontroll.
Ian Kolstad’s label, Monolog, is a small independent platform where he produces and records music for local and emerging artists. Through the label, Kolstad helps foster the careers of lesser-known musicians, offering them a space to express their creativity and share their work with a broader audience, all while maintaining full artistic control.
I tillegg til plateselskapet er Kolstad tungt involvert i å arrangere Monolog-festivalen, som samler artister til et intimt og samarbeidsorientert arrangement. Festivalen, lik plateselskapet, speiler hans lidenskap for grasrotmusikk og fellesskapsdrevne initiativer.
In addition to his label, Kolstad is also heavily involved in organizing the Monolog Festival, which brings together artists for an intimate and collaborative event. The festival, like the label, reflects his passion for grassroots music and community-driven initiatives, making it a cherished event for artists and audiences alike.
Som frontfigur i Goldlog har Kolstad utforsket introspektive lydlandskap og bygget en hengiven tilhengerskare. Han er også engasjert i musikkterapi, der han bruker musikkens helbredende kraft i sitt arbeid. Gjennom sitt engasjement for både plateselskapet og festivalen viser Kolstad sin dedikasjon til uavhengig kunst og kreativ utfoldelse.
As the leader of Goldlog, Kolstad has explored introspective soundscapes while building a devoted following. Beyond his work with the band, he is committed to music therapy, integrating the healing aspects of music into his broader efforts. His work, both through the label and the festival, highlights his dedication to independent art and fostering creativity in all its forms.
