Improvised Set, Part 2

Since entering the music scene in the late 90ies Nils Petter Molvaer has been one of the innovators of European jazz melting jazz influences with electronic, ambient and house, and creating unique and dramatic soundscapes of deep intensity – one of the reasons why he has also been very much sought after to compose for film, movies and advertising.
Hamada is Nils Petter Molvaer´s most angry and darkest album up to date with climaxes in the songs “Friction” and “Cruel Altitude” where he and his fellow musicians, Eivind Aarset (g) and Audun Kleive (dr), leave the paths of ambient, electronica and improvisation and get the axe out to poach in the fields of indie- and 70ies-prog-rock, before they cool it down to end the album on a more conciliatory note.
