Thomas Stronen: The Tin Drum
by Adriana Carcu
One of Norway's most prolific drummers, sampling percussionists and composers, Thomas Strønen is the co-founder of Food, along with British saxophonist Iain Ballamy.

Subsequent touring around the world, including a number of North American dates, honed ...
Marvel Machine: Volt / Revolt
by Eyal Hareuveni
Volt / Revolt brings together three highly gifted Norwegian jazz musicians who wanted to try something completely different. All the music is spontaneously improvised, but its ingredients owe more to raw metal, punk, noise and electronic experimental sounds than to the rich jazz legacy. This is by no means an attempt to create cerebral, forward-thinking music, ...
