Morten para el VG: "It's been a strange experience to be on stage without my singing voice, but absolutely fantastic to be met by such overwhelming support from the entire audience during the concerts in both Brasilia and Recife. a-ha is definitely more than just me, and the band has performed brilliantly in the absence of my voice, singing along instead of me"

Su mánager (Sverre Flatby): "His condition is being continously monitored. Morten has to a large degree managed to avoid these problems through a 25-year career and has an impressive track record of not missing many concerts. Ideally he should be giving his voice complete rest at the moment, but Morten is weighing this up against a strong wish to not disappoint all those who have been waiting for a-ha in South America" ...

"Den Stilleste Timen" es un nuevo singel de Ole Paus en el que intervienen muchos artistas noruegos entre ellos nuestro querido Morten como cantante principal como obra benéfica para los damnificados de Haiti...

Un versión demo fue grabada ayer en "Amadeus Studios" y hoy empezaron a trabajar en la versión final en "Rainbow Studios".

Joachim Lund, responsable del proyecto comenta al periódico Dagsavisen:

"It's an absolutely beautiful song, which has the right balance between sober lyrics and a melody which will appeal to a large audience. You have to be pretty callous if you aren't touched by this song". ...

El próximo domingo 24 de enero Morten actuará en un concierto en el 'Opera House' de Oslo, en beneficio de los damnificados en el terremoto de Haití y será retransmitido por la NRK1.

Esto es lo que cuenta Morten en Dagbladet hoy:

"It's important that we react as one people, across all layers of society, where everyone contribute where they can"

"I have for a long time felt powerless in relation to the problems in Haiti, because the problems are so huge that it will have to involve a determined and longterm effort on a global scale. But if the world society really makes an effort, we can get Haiti back on its feet",Morten says. ...

The beginning of the end

In a little over a year, a 25 year long Norwegian pop adventure will come to an end. - Getting the opportunity to end things while you're on top of your game is a privilege, Morten Harket says.

On Tuesday night, Morten Harket and a-ha will enter the stage at Lanxess Arena in Cologne. That's the start of the Foot Of The Mountain Tour. But the new album and tour will soon be in the background. Because next year the farewell tour will start, and in December 2010 things are coming to an end. After 25 years in the spotlight a-ha will enter the books of history.

"All things do eventually come to an end. We can look back at a fantastic 25-year career, and we're now experiencing success once again. We're riding on a really good wave. Getting the opportunity to end things while you're on top of your game is a privilege. We've been at it for 25 years with a lot of highlights, where the artistic life, working as an artist, has been the most important thing. Because that's what we set out to do when we left for London in 1983", Harket tells Aftenposten from his hotel in Cologne.

It's been a good year for a-ha. The album Foot Of The Mountain reached the top of the charts in Germany and was number five in the UK.

"The success we've experienced until now has not happened just by chance. We've set a few goals for ourselves and wanted to achieve something with the music", says the Norwegian pop star, who is now looking ahead.

"We're seeing this as a creative move, where you clean the table and set a new starting point - which is also the beginning of something else", he says.

But it's not the first time a-ha are going away. The last time was in 1993. It took seven years before they came back with Minor Earth Major Sky in 2000.

"People will always speculate if this is really the end, but we're not going to give any comments about that. None of us know how things will be in the future, but that's kind of the point, opening up for some fresh air. But a-ha has a farewell tour and a year of celebrating in 2010."

- How is the chemistry within the band?

"That's something I won't bother to comment on. This is something the media has always been asking about, and the media has its own views on it anyway, so I'm not going to waste any time on it now. I just want to say that having had a 25-year international career also proves that things have functioned. Not many bands can look back on such a career."

- But does the chemistry between you have something to do with the break-up?

"I don't want to say anything about it. It's meaningless speculation, and it's depressing having to answer such question constantly. It doesn't build things up. All of us want to build, create things. That's what we do."

- Is it hard to be old in the game when you're making pop music?

"And what is pop music? Is it Britney Spears? We're creating music that has many layers and aspects to it, music that's challenging to perform and compose, challenging to analyze.
a-ha's music has always had a complexity to it, as well as an ability to reach a larger audience. There a much finer-woven layer of complexity to a-ha's music than most of what you'll find within the rock genre", Harket says.
