Sondre Moshagen Audio Guide

Audio Guide is an expressive and genre-crossing sextet led by pianist and composer Sondre Moshagen from Vinstra, Gudbrandsdalen.

Ketija Ringa Karahona – flute
Guro Kvåle – trombone
Brede Sørum – alto saxophone
Sondre Moshagen – piano, synthesizer
Nicolas Leirtrø – double bass
Veslemøy Narvesen – drums

The music is pictorial, inspired by the program music of Romanticism, and draws inspiration from the avant-garde, classical impressionism, singer-songwriter and cubism.

The compositions challenge expectations in various ways regarding the relationship between composed and improvised musical material in a modern, improvising ensemble, and move between the beautiful and painful, to the dissonant and outrageous.

The musicians, all very active voices on the European scene, color the music with character and energy, and come together in a dynamic and contrasting soundscape. Flute, trombone and alto saxophone as a sonic expansion of the timeless piano trio format provide room for unique orchestrations and a versatile sound palette.

The ensemble is currently busy with their self-titled debut album “Audio Guide”, which will be released on the Norwegian record label Sauajazz ahead of this launch tour. Both in physical and digital format. This Sunday evening you can hear the music live, as well as brand new song sketches!
