Ice concerts reviews

Musikken og stemningene er helstøpt, og bærer i seg en sensibilitet for naturens tilstand om vinteren.

It's a chiming, intimate and utterly beautiful world of sound that entrances as much as it avoids any notion of 'novelty'.

Likevel vet du at Terje Isungset har truffet noe med sin ismusikk, da du tar deg i å få gåsehud.
http://www.oa.no/kultur/ny_musikk/article3319905.ece

the percussion is the real treat musically, sparse and reverent, of an intense purity.Pretty unique.

Resultatet er eksotisk, imponerende og grenseløst originalt.
http://www.nordlys.no/kultur/musikk/article3346344.ece

Med denne plata lever Terje Isungset opp til ryktet han har fått som en av kongerikets mest nyskapende perkusjonister.

Det er noe veldig norsk, og magisk over soundet på platen.
http://www.ta.no/pulsen/Musikk/cd/article3312632.ece

Det er så uendelig vakkert, så personlig og ekte
http://arkiv.side2.no/Nyhet/284940/Ismannen.html

it's a fascinating, atavistic, other- worldly experience to hear Isungset "liberate" these haunting, enigmatic sounds from nature at its harshest and put them at the service of art - and beauty.

Per Jørgensen and Terje Isungset unite forces in Agbalagba Daada
with a raw, cut to the bone expression. It’s improvisation in the wider
landscape of jazz where the elements melt and travels to the core of
the music. Music far beyond words. AGBALAGBA is an African word
(Yoruba-language) for old person. As a result of age and experience this
person acquires a certain level of knowledge, and is given the title
AGBALAGBA DAADA – meaning old, wise person. In a figurative sense, the
working musician – starting out as young and promising – gradually attains the
status of AGBALAGBA DAADA, adjusting musical perspectives in accordance
with the growing process of life. This double album is filled with strong and
powerful music.
Per Jørgensen started his musical career in Bergen, Norway in the seventies and is today one of
the most acclaimed and sought after jazz musician. With the trio concept Jøkleba! developed
together with Jon Balke (keyboards) and Audun Kleive (drums), he reached a wide audience in
Scandinavia, playing together for over ten years. He has also been a regular member of Jon Balkes
Magnetic North Orchestra, from its start-up in 1992.
Terje Isungset is one of Europe’s most accomplished and innovative percussionists. With over two
decades experience in jazz and Scandinavian music he is taking these types of music far beyond
their traditional boundaries, becoming more like a cross between a sound artist and a shaman.
Using sounds from natural elements such as arctic birch, granite, slate, sheep bells and even ice,
he is highly recommended to those sensible to the poetry and simplicity of sounds.
