First meeting between two masters of improvised music: Erik Kimestad and Jon Lipscomb.

Erik Kimestad Pedersen (trumpeter), born October 13, 1989, in Mandal, Norway, stands as one of the brightest stars on the European trumpet scene and is among the most distinctive and versatile voices on his instrument. Norwegian-born and based in Copenhagen for many years, he is known from bands such as Horse Orchestra, Kresten Osgood Kvintet, and many more.

With a heavy emphasis on free improv, noise, and free jazz, Malmö based guitarist Jon Lipscomb (USA) conjures dissonant extremes with raw power. The guitar becomes a platform for atonal swirls and microscopic polyrhythmic pangs described by the Wire as “...challenging music ..not to be listened to in a fragile state of mind.”

He performs in the U.S.A. and Europe and has collaborated and improvised with Brandon Lopez, Tim Berne, Anders Lindsjö, Wendel Patrick, Lydia Lunch, Ryan Sawyer, Ole Mofjel...
