Ytterlandet means outer country. Emanating from the remote north of Europe, three explorers are mixing their own brew of improv. Curious listeners are invited to experience the discoveries of their sound chemistry - where the ear may be exposed to unknown landscapes, as well as reminiscences of free-jazz and noise. A sound palette with ingredients like: edgy guitar, sax/clarinet optionally prepared and/or deconstructed, and an extended field of percussion with things intended or unintended for music. Each time a new sonic picture is drawn on the blank canvas of time. And, interestingly enough, the picture that is manifesting itself will not look/sound the same for any two listeners...
The trio has performed at a large number of clubs and festivals in Denmark, Norway, Sweden and The Netherlands, as well as a 2-week tour to Japan in 2018.
In this “special edition” concert the trio will join forces with the Lithuanian saxophone wizard Liudas Mockunas.
