A Ripple Song

The colorful improvisations of the Norwegian quartet Avian Art explore the musical spectrum through beautiful thematic developments, abstract soundscapes, and intense musical tension.

After two releases and numerous concerts, the ensemble has established an expression where musical ideas are developed, twisted, and turned, like an ecosystem in slow change. Small nuances in the music create a foundation for a living and organic soundscape, which grows in harmony with the ensemble’s attentiveness and presence.

On March 21, 2025, the band will release their third album A Ripple Song on Musicwelike Records, this time in collaboration with multi-instrumentalist and Edvard rize winner Stein Urheim. This meeting resulted in a collection of improvisations colored by fragility and beauty. With a wide variety of electronic and acoustic instruments, Urheim also opens up a door to explore new sonic worlds. As a unique musical entity, Avian Art continues to tread a fresh path in the free-improvisation landscape.
