In the German Ice Hockey League , the Schwenninger Wild Wings and the Düsseldorfer EG used this piece as part of their intro for the 2014/2015 season, and it is also used in various television commercials. This is also the case in some of Segmüller's commercials .
Several albums were also made available to the public or released as a buyable album. Illusions , originally referred to as Nemesis II , was published as a standalone publication under the name of Bergersen. The same applies to Sun . Tracks from these independent albums were found e.g. B. in trailers for Cloud Atlas and Interstellar use.
Origin of name
When it was founded, Bergersen was looking for a name that would attract attention, based on the motto “all PR is good PR”.
The idea for the name came from a Norwegian nightclub, which, according to Bergersen, was probably pursuing a similar goal.
