Circular was conceived during the autumn of '95. The project is visioned as a melting pot of sonical textures and music, taking the listener on a journey into undiscovered realms. A lot of music nowadays is "frozen" in style and expression. Circular tries to avoid this by using a multitude of musical blends and colours.

Circular consists of two experimental artists, Bjarte Andreassen and Jostein Dahl Gjelsvik. Living in Bergen, Norway, they have known each other for quite some time and have contributed on various projects. Jostein is also a part of Neural Network which has been put on ice for the time being.

Their debut album Nanotopia was released on Origo Sound in 1997 to critical acclaim. Since then, Circular has also a.o. written and produced music for Norwegian national television (NRK1) and for commercials broadcasted on TV2.
