About Eivind Aarset

Norwegian guitarist and composer Eivind Aarset, born in 1961 in Kolbotn, Oppegård, has established himself as a pioneering figure in contemporary jazz and experimental music. Inspired early on by Jimi Hendrix, Aarset broadened his musical horizons through classic rock bands like Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, and Santana, before immersing himself in the works of jazz legends such as Miles Davis, Weather Report, and Norwegian icons Jan Garbarek and Terje Rypdal.

Launching his solo career with the groundbreaking album "Électronique Noire" (1998), Aarset skillfully blends rock, jazz, and electronic soundscapes, redefining the guitar’s role with innovative textures and intricate sound design. His critically acclaimed releases on Jazzland Records—including "Light Extracts" (2001), "Connected" (2004), and "Sonic Codex" (2007)—showcase his evolving artistry. After signing with ECM, he released "Dream Logic" (2012) and "I.E." (2015), albums noted for merging rock quartets with brass and woodwind elements.

Beyond his solo work, Aarset’s collaborations span a wide range of artists and projects, from his involvement with the progressive group Ab und Zu—featuring his wife, vocalist Anne-Marie Giørtz—to partnerships with Bugge Wesseltoft, Nils Petter Molvaer, and the Oslo Jazz Underground. Recent projects like the improvisational "Lost River" (2019), with percussionist Michele Rabbia and trombonist Gianluca Petrella, and the ambient "Snow Catches on Her Eyelashes" (2020) with Jan Bang, further demonstrate his versatility. His 2021 album, "Phantasmagoria, Or a Different Kind of Journey," marks a return to more traditional guitar sounds while maintaining his reputation as a boundary-pushing sonic architect.

Eivind Aarset remains a vital force in modern music, continually challenging and expanding the guitar’s expressive potential.
