Biography

Erlend Apneseth Trio
at the 2016 Nattjazz in Bergen, Norway.

Apneseth studied traditional Norwegian folk music at Ole Bull Academy under the guidance of Håkon Høgemo, and became Norwegian elite fiddler in 2012. He released the album Jølster 2012 with Sigmund Eikås, Synnøve Bjørset, and Gro Marie Svidal the same year. This album was nominated for 'Folkelarmprisen' as best solo album.[1]

He has established himself with a more modern sound, where he is moving in landscapes of more improvised and contemporary music, becoming the basis of timbres from fingerboard and folk music. This has resulted in collaboration with the dance ensemble Carte Blanche and several improvised musical constellations, including folk and jazz based bands. This also led to extensive performing in Norway and abroad, and at the 2016 Nattjazz he performed with his own trio including Stephan Meidell and Øyvind Hegg-Lunde.[1][2][3]
