Henrik Munkeby Nørstebø - acoustic and amplified trombone Nørstebø chose the trombone and began playing in the local marching band at the age of seven. Twenty some years later, he's still riding the ups and downs of an instrumental long term relationship, using the trombone's crudeness as a creative challenge. Through a technical distillation process, he has developed a vast personal sound vocabulary, spanning from pure long tones to noise and the almost inaudible. Lately, he has been combining the power of brass tubes with additional sound sources like half-clarinet and various noise generators.

His working projects include: the amplified voice and trombone duo BEAM SPLITTER with Audrey Chen, a duo with Austrian sound artist Daniel Lercher, the longstanding all-in improvising unit Lana trio, a duo with experimental turntablist JD Zazie and the acoustic trios Whirl (with Adrian Myhr and Tobias Delius) and Nørstebø/Strid/de Heney (with Nina de Heney and Raymond Strid). www.henriknorstebo.com
