"Splashgirl" are a really great Norwegian Jazz Trio with a great sense for repetitive patterns á la Steve Reich and an affinity for exploring smallest melodies somewhere between Brian Eno, Erik Satie and Morton Feldman. John Kelman wrote on www.allaboutjazz.com about this concert:

"Splashgirl was an exciting discovery and one of Punkt 08's best shows, ranking as the surprise of the year— and not just at the festival.

Featuring pianist Andreas Stensland Lowe, drummer Andreas Lonmo Knudsrod and bassist Jo Berger Myhre, the group was the ideal example of the remarkable maturity and creativity coming out of young Norwegian groups. With a sound that blended spare, near-ambient textures with majestic yet understated neoclassicism and outer-reaching but always captivating free improvisations, Splashgirl is a group that deserves a wider audience and, if it can get some proper exposure, no doubt will."
