Avatar is a sextet that blends tabla player Sanskriti Shrestha's background in classical Indian music with the western jazz tradition. The result is colorful and boundlessly beautiful.

Sanskriti Shrestha – tabla, vocals, Magnus Wiik – guitar, Adrian Waade – violin, Magela Herrera – flute, Erlend Albertsen – bass, Andreas Wildhagen – drums

 

Ant Farm Boogie dives into experimental reverberations, psychedelic effects and noise, all the while holding it all tightly together within composed frames. The music is energetic, outgoing and even joyful, in a kind of Ornette Coleman joyous way.

Alf Hulbækmo – synth, Martin Miguel – guitar, Signe Emmeluth – sax, Ola Djupvik – drums
