Lars Bech Pilgaard has, over the course of a decade, made a name for himself with his energetic and consistently sonically exploratory guitar playing. Whether as a sideman with Bisse, Anja Jacobsen, Maria Faust, or in some of Pilgaard’s own ensembles—SVIN, Klimaforandringer, or Slowburn—there is never any doubt about the identity of the guitarist.

Lars Bech Pilgaard’s music exists in the borderland between noise, sacred intensity, and organic improvisation, but at its core his musical expression is ever-changing. He cultivates, without reservation, a space that allows for both the absolutely abstract and the perversely concrete.
