Sula, Norway (1960 – present)
Molvær completed his debut album as a leader in 1997, Khmer, which focuses on a previously unknown blend of improvisation and hypnotically spinning beats, receiving extraordinary public and media response, and was honoured with the German Record Critics Award and a Norwegian Grammy.
The follow-up to Khmer, released in May 2000 entitled Solid Ether, intensified Molvær’s dialogue with club culture. The idea behind the Solid Ether concept is that a piece of music is never really finished and that composing and producing are an ever-evolving process. “‘Ether’ does not exist, so how can it be solid? It’s a paradox - like life”.
Molvær’s album NP3, released in 2002, sees him continuing the concepts that were developed through Khmer and Solid Ether by putting significant differing elements together to combine contrasting structures. A strong presence on NP3 is Molvær’s soulful and creative use of new music manufacturing technology.

Ohr16 If you like the electronic Molvaer, you might also like Brink Man Ship, who are making interesting experiments between Jazz & Electronic.

-
Mbuti3 Nice music, but if you want listen his music, you must listen loud!!!
-
edanielsen Wow! Just wow! I am norwegian and though I had heard of Molvær before, never heard his music until today. Bought Khmer on iTunes store on a whim and was instantly hooked - perhaps the most interesting work I have ever heard! Immediately bought "Solid Ether" and "Hamada" as well, Nils Petter - you're going to be expensive for me!
-
facingeast If you like Hamada, Re-Vision is the next album to go to. And, of course, his début, Khmer. If you wanna venture out, although it's a pretty different style, try Ki-Oku by DJ Krush & Toshinori Kondo.

JustChillMan The trumpet is hypnotising ... Spiced up with electronic sounds causes some heavy chemical reactions in my brain ... Damn ...
-
cmusic007 :-)
-
stevekeiretsu ditto that
-
MarcPandaBear i'm in love with Hamada, another album to suggest ? (:
