Musician

Hein Westgaard

Born:

Hein Westgaard is a guitarist, improviser and composer from Oslo, currently based in Copenhagen.  He can be heard in the post-minimalistic quartet Ototoi, his own genre bending project Hein Westgaard Trio, in ad-hoc free improvised constellations, or in the solo acoustic guitar format where he focuses on his own instrumental songs in the fingerpicking tradition.
