Emilio Gordoa – vibraphone
Dag Magnus Narvesen – drums
Dag Magnus Narvesen (Norway/Berlin) is a drummer, percussionist and composer who mainly works within the field of improvised music and progressive jazz music. He’s sound can be described as very energetic with lots of different textures developing simultaneously. There is a very strong melodic quality in the way he approaches the drums and his playing is also very influenced by what he calls elliptic grooves, – sequences of rhythmic elements which are resembling grooves and creating a forward motion without playing „in time“. He is a very versatile and creative drummer who always is very much present in the moment. Dag Magnus has throughout the years collaborated with many profiled musicians, among them: Evan Parker, Andrew D’angelo, Marilyn Crispell, Alexander von Schlippenbach, Keith Tippet, Steve Beresford, Didrik Ingvaldsen, Johannes Bauer, Fredrik Ljungkvist and many more.
