Norwegian sextet Motif in concert, plus Kit Downes and Lucy Railton's Tricko

Led by bassist Ole Morten V氓gan, Motif have been shaping their sound over the last decade, bringing together some of the best players from the young Norwegian improvising scene. V氓gan'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 H氓kon Mjaset Johansen on drums and H氓vard 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 L酶nning.

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.
