With this comprehensive project Solborg wishes to elaborate the intimate listening experience, and develop methods and tools for the creative work at hand.

Mark Solborg - TUNGEMÅL I-III has been praised all over:
“The melodies are beautiful, and behind them you sense an open door, straight out and up to the dark and unknown universe.. ..disturbingly beautiful and huge ambitious accomplishment.”– Thomas Michelsen, Politiken.
“Unique would be an understatement..... beautifully crafted with passion, love and creativity and the listener is constantly rewarded by surprise and the unexpected juxtaposition of sounds, instruments and space. It is a work of art.” – Ian Lomax, JazzJournal, UK
..en gigantisk og ambitiøs forskning i musikkens indre, mystiske og emotionelle ytringer. Men også vi lægmænd kan se os belønnede og samtidig anerkende Mark Solborgs pionerarbejde. Mark Solborg leve længe; det kommer der godt ud af både for det lyttende menneske og den lyttende musikforsker.” – Bjarne Søltoft, Jazzspecial (DK)
4,5/5 “Extensive and profound artistic study […] rich and organic […] fascinating sonic koans” – Eyal Hareuveni, The Free Jazz Collective
“It’s refreshing when an artist dares to think so deeply about music and documents the process so others can be inspired ... a sprawling multimedia work of art that opens new vistas for the guitar and Solborg’s own music.” – Jakob Bækgaard, All About Jazz
“Dette er overbevisende! Konsistent! og ganske åbentlyst ambitiøst … bemærkelsesværdigt og beundringsværdigt.” – Ivan Rod

Nezelhorns is an experimental jazz quintet that plays original compositions by Petter Hängsel and Nana Pi Aabo-Kim. The music has harmonious freedom, creating sound images that both have a diatonic and dissonant character, where traditional and abstract grooves meet tonal and anti-tonal melodies. The band plays with great emphasis on sound and improvisation, and they are known for their raw and powerful expression.
Nezelhorns released their second album, Sentiment in April 2021 on the record label Barefoot Records. The album was nominated for DMA Jazz 2021 in the category "Jazz Release of the Year '' and in April 2021 it was named "The Best Jazz on Bandcamp '' by Dave Sumner. Sentiment is the sequel to their debut release Nezelhorns In An Elephant String.
"Their mesmerising new release 'Sentiment' sits high amongst Barefoot's finest." - Imran Mirza, Blue In Green Radio, 2021...
