Norwegian sextet Motif in concert, plus Kit Downes and Lucy Railton's Tricko
Led by bassist Ole Morten Vågan, Motif have been shaping their sound over the last decade, bringing together some of the best players from the young Norwegian improvising scene. Vågan's intense writing allows pieces to spiral from a central phrase or idea, whether it be an urgent groove, a melodic exploration or propulsive free-play. The bassist is joined by Håkon Mjaset Johansen on drums and Håvard Wilk on piano in a powerhouse rhythm section, while the rich frontline features the paired clarinets of Atle Nymo and Michael Thieke alongside trumpeter Eivind Lønning.
The concert also featured a set from Tricko - pianist Kit Downes and cellist Lucy Railton. Their thoughtfully crafted pieces journey through stately themes, brooding melodicism and beautiful, slowly evolving soundscapes.
