Unmothered
The five musicians of Unmothered combine elements of metal, prog rock, and art rock with free jazz, improvisation, and contemporary music. The Trondheim-based band was formed in 2024 as Tuva Olsson’s bachelor project at NTNU Jazz Program and has since developed into a cohesive, distinctive ensemble at the intersection of composed and improvised music. Their sound alternates between heavy riffs, improvised text, and free passages — representing a style that is both uncompromising and accessible.
Unmothered is:
- Tuva Olsson – trumpet and compositions
- Siv Aurlund – vocals
- Odin Fiskvik – guitar
- Bendik Lundsvoll – double bass and Moog
- Øyvind Leite – drums
Ingeborg Sollid Quartet
The Ingeborg Sollid Quartet combines acoustic jazz and synth-driven pop, where jazz harmonies and swing meet floating melodies and textured soundscapes. Their musical expression is marked by attentive interplay, dynamic shifts, and a warm band sound blending vocals and vibraphone. The music explores the balance between lyrical and instrumental, modern and traditional, subtle and powerful, with lyrics about love, planets, and mighty waves. The quartet consists of musicians already highly active on the Norwegian jazz scene.
Ingeborg Sollid Quartet is:
- Ingeborg Gravem Sollid – vocals, synth, and compositions
- Amund Stenøien – vibraphone
- Håkon Huldt-Nystrøm – double bass
