Lana Trio

Lana trio is an experimental ensemble and a forum for continuous personal and social process. Andreas, Henrik and Kjetil started playing together quickly after meeting in 2007, and extensively explored how parameters like density, velocity, texture and dynamics could be stretched in order to create different possibilities for musical interplay. The trio have worked both with graphical notation and so called free improvisation, and plays music that draws inspiration from many of life's aspects.

When thinking about a collaborator for the trio's third record, Sofia Jernberg became a natural choice, holding the ability to both merge seamlessly with the trio's music, and provide her strong personality to push the trio in different directions. The quartet in real time is a continuous energy stream, like an organism on the edge of breakdown, only controlled through a great collective calm and an acceptance of the unpredictable.
