Emil Palme is an experimental composer and guitarist whose practice is rooted in
Scandinavian folklore and experimental music.
His solo work follows many acclaimed outings with his guitar duo Yngel, as well as
performances with the late Manuel Göttsching and with Clarissa Connelly in her touring
band.
Stroking and scratching the strings of his instrument with self-made bows of stone, the
Danish artist conjures mesmerising ceremonial patterns which unfold in the misty nether
zone between composition and improvisation.
There is a primeval quality to the music, and a vital simplicity which begs comparison to
certain stark turns by Morton Feldman or more recently the Malone/O’Malley coalition.
His debut album “Ripen” was released last autumn by First Terrace Records.

This is skeletal music set to a glacial pace, able to evoke huge plains and moods with the
slightest of touches, which is working well for my morning commute.

Ripen is a kind of mystical treatise on the act of “completing” - the treacherous paths that
nature dictates all living things must walk, and the inevitable disintegration of purpose that
comes after a period of toil.

Henrik Pultz Melbye har de sidste mange år, været aktiv på den eksperimenterende og
avantgardistiske musikscene. Især som medlem af bandet SVIN samt som soloartist og
sideman. Han har været nomineret til DMA Jazz flere gange og vandt for nyligt med SVIN for
deres plade “Introducing SVIN).
Siden starten af pandemien har han arbejdet på ny musik til den kommende soloplade
“Drømmene”, som bliver udgivet i efteråret 2024. Helt alene og ved hjælp saxofoner, EWI
