Nils Petter Molvær

***Nils Petter Molvær is one of the most prominent performers within an electroacoustic, improvised / composed musical hybrid that has become a genre of its own.***

\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

Few figures in European jazz have traced a trajectory as distinctive and influential as **Nils Petter Molvær**. A pivotal voice in the late-1990s Nordic jazz movement, Molvær helped shape a new musical language that absorbed ambient, electronica, dub, post-rock and jazz improvisation into a sound that feels physical, spatial and digitally charged. His music carries authority – immediately recognisable, deeply controlled, and unmistakably his own.

This trio performance arrives at a significant moment. Molvær’s new relationship with Edition Records signals a shared commitment to long-term artistic vision, depth and evolution. The recent release of Khmer Live in Bergen captures the enduring power of his landmark work in a live context – heavier, more expansive and charged with renewed intensity.

On stage with **Jo Berger Myhre** (guitar, bass) and **Erland Dahlen** (drums), the trio delivers music that is immersive, driven and volatile – shifting between deep groove, fractured electronics and vast open space. This is Molvær in full command: forward-facing, uncompromising, and still defining the terms of what European jazz can be.

***This event will last for approximately 90 minutes with no interval.***
