Uhørt! Evju Quartet + Falmende Horisont

Innovative improvisations + vocal jazz over eclectic sounds - Free entry - Evju Quartet is a newly formed band of four remarkable musicians who met on the jazz program at the Norwegian Academy of Music. In the vibrations between trombone and vibraphone, a modern expression of resonant textures and a strong rhythmic drive shimmers. With a shared passion for improvised music, the quartet explores the meeting between strong melodic lines and a playful approach to free interplay and dynamics. The quartet draws inspiration from bands and musicians such as Dave Holland, Out Of/Into, Marquis Hill and Wayne Shorter.

Falmende Horisont is an electroacoustic band where synths merge with warm vocals, warm saxophone tones and frenetic drumming. The result is a symbiosis of organic currents, where the musicians move seamlessly and quickly between light soundscapes, lively free jazz passages and danceable club beats. The lyrics explore the love of life, the sunny days that come and go and the uncertainty that awaits tomorrow. The eclectic expression contains elements of song, club music, free jazz and electronica, resulting in a blend of fragile, intense and melodic moods. On May 15, Falmende Horisont released their debut album, Vektløshet, recorded at TOU in Stavanger. The recording captures raw improvisational moments, crackling synth sounds, and vulnerable stretches where the music truly shines. Now the band is heading out on a release tour to Haugesund, Oslo, Trondheim and Stavanger where the album can be experienced live.
