1982 (Nils Okland, Sigbjorn Apeland, Oyvind Skarbo) - Pintura

Modern, improvised chamber music from the trio 1982, comprising of fiddler Nils Økland and organist Sigbjørn Apeland (who together recently released a critically acclaimed homage to Norwegian violinist/composer Ole Bull on ECM) alongside drummer Øyvind Skarbø.

 

The group’s instrumentation is unusual. As far as we know there is no other ensemble playing improvised music using the combination of harmonium, drums and Hardanger fiddle. This gives 1982 a distinctive sound, but in a purely musical sense, too, the group follows its own path.

 

Personnel: Nils Økland (Hardanger fiddle, violin), Sigbjørn Apeland (harmonium, Wurlitzer organ), Øyvind Skarbø (drums)
