RYMDEN *live

In the organizer's words:

Rymden (Jazzland/SE/NO) *live*

Rymden: melancholic-atmospheric songwriting, dramatically charged rhythms and virtuoso jazz at the highest level

The Swedish-Norwegian trio combines influences from jazz, prog rock, film music, classical music and elements of Scandinavian folk music to create a stylistically sensational crossover sound. Rymden consists of the former musicians of the Esbjörn Svensson Trio, Dan Berglund and Magnus Öström, as well as the Norwegian jazz pianist Bugge Wesseltoft. The three like to describe themselves as a "supergroup" - not just of jazz, but of European music in general. This is no exaggeration, as their music is sophisticated and accessible at the same time; for them, experimental means nothing other than that their approach is full of contemporary ideas.

Rymden's sound is characterized by the combination of acoustic virtuosity with electronic sound processing: piano, bass and drums remain clearly recognizable at all times, while the electronic effects are never an end in themselves, but serve exclusively to enhance the sound. Characteristic are clear melodic motifs, complex rhythmic structures and dynamic arcs of tension between calmness and compression.

After the albums "Reflections & Odysseys" (2019) and "Space Sailors" (2020), the trio consistently developed its style further. With the album "Valleys & Mountains", released in 2023, their focus shifted to more open, atmospherically denser sound spaces. Reduced structures, subtle electronic surfaces and a more collectively oriented interplay characterize the overall sound. With surprising time changes, thunderous bass lines and shimmering synth pads, they present themselves from a previously unknown ambient-influenced side and clearly show that this band has found itself in hundreds of concerts - that's how relaxed they sound.

Rymden have filled rock clubs and classical concert halls, lost themselves in mind-expanding improvisations and mastered prog riffs. If you're looking for virtuosic musicality, surprising moments and spherical intensity, you shouldn't miss Rymden.
