Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Norwegian guitarist pushes contemporary jazz into distinctly modern, technology-driven territory on his debut solo release for Jazzland Recordings. The project eschews traditional jazz instrumentation in favor of heavily processed guitar textures, trip-hop drum programming, and dark ambient soundscapes, crafting a moody, nocturnal fusion.
