Fevereiro
1 fevereiro Arve Henriksen, trompete, voz e electrónica
"Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, Don Cherry and Jon Hassell redefined the sound of the trumpet. It may be possible to see Henriksen joining this lineage (...) "His sound is unmistakable: breathy, impassioned and alternately earthy and ethereal." BBC
"Extraordinary trumpet player and vocalist" New York Times
"Everything flows together so beautifully from track to track, it’s mesmerizing." Free Jazz Collective
"The world's new favorite trumpet player (...) this Norwegian shaman of sound bridges the gaps of styles and forms with his unmistakably unique control of the instrument. Arve Henriksen doesn't simply play the trumpet, the brass is merely an extension of his breath. " Popmatters
"Norways' top brass" The Guardian
"Henriksen has always been able to tap the deepest of emotions in the subtlest of ways, creating overarching narratives that go far beyond mere collections of discrete pieces. With reference points ranging from Jon Hassell to Brian Eno's ambient works and the neo-classical, Henriksen uses sound as much as melody to create a series of tone poems where virtuosity is irrelevant and the vast, resonant potential of texture is paramount. His horn is the most recognizable instrument throughout, though his embouchure lends it a rare, vocal-like quality that, while still referencing the Japanese shakuhachi, has surpassed such simple comparisons to approach a clear, unmistakable and instantly recognizable aesthetic." All About Jazz
In addition to playing trumpet into one of two mics (one had more distortion than the other), Henriksen also sings wordlessly, high and close to how I'd imagine an adult castrati would sound. Unlike a chamber singer, he sounds untrained, airy, and wholly naked: a broken plea stops your breath." Pitchfork
Arve Henriksen is one of the most innovative and creative artists in a golden generation of Norwegian jazz musicians. He has played with artists such as David Sylvain, Jon Balke, Trygve Seim, Imogen Heap, Nils Petter Molvaer or Motorpsycho and is the founder of the legendary avant-garde band Supersilent.
