Terje Isungset

Terje Isungset is a pioneer of ice instruments, extraordinary feats of sculpture, crafted from solid blocks of pure ice brought direct from the mountains of Norway. He opens Ice Music with Tribute to Nature, a set dedicated to his birch and granite percussion. The sublime Norwegian singer Lena Nymark then joins him for a set with his ethereal ice instruments including ice horns, an iceofon and ice percussion.

These beautifully resonant sounds and whimsical songs are performed with the evocative backdrop of a film created by Lumen, Idea of the North. The film of the Ice Music project at Somerset House, London, will also be shown where the sold out performances were housed in a geodesic igloo.

“Percussionist Terje Isungset is one of those Norwegian musicians who can make beguiling sound out of almost anything...[he] makes fascinating music.” «««« The Guardian
