Moon Inhabitants: Canned Luna

by Daniel Mège
September 4, 2026

Is there anybody up there?

Åsne Fossmark

Åsne Fossmark, born 2002, is a tenor saxophonist and composer out of Trondheim, in the Trøndelag region of Norway. She picked up jazz around 2019 and splits her time across several active groups.

She plays in When I Return, a septet that came together in the early 2020s inside NTNU Trondheim's jazz program. Their debut record, The Weight of Bloom (Jazzland Recordings, 2026), builds open melodic lines that give way to tightly wound improvised counterpoint.

She also holds down the saxophone chair in Moon Inhabitants, a quintet rounded out by Mikkel Dahl Amundsen on trumpet, Sondre Moshagen on piano, Johannes Lykkås on bass, and Jørgen Fiske on drums. The band leans on 1960s free jazz but plays fast and loose with it; their label calls the results "an energy bomb with unpredictable cosmic improvisations and down-to-earth naivety." Canned Luna, the band's debut, also came out in 2026 (Sauajazz).

Jørgen Bjelkerud

Norwegian born Jørgen Bjelkerud, has excelled from the earliest age as trombonist and composer in the jazz and improvised music genre. He has performed extensively throughout Norway, Europe, South Africa and India, with bands such as When I Return, Evidence, Trondheim Jazz Orchestra, Dafnie, Galumphing Duo, OJKOS and Cosmic Swing Orchestra. Bjelkerud is regarded as one of the new voices on the Norwegian jazz scene performing in a variety of musical styles with a profound technical craftsmanship on his instrument.

Aside from playing jazz music Bjelkerud also emphasizes the importance of borrowing musical knowledge from the world and classical music tradition both in an instrumental technique aspect and the language and theory of for instance Indian Classical music and composers such as Messiaen, Threadgill and Lehman.
