About the artists
Extended Ground creates beats unlike anything you’ve heard before. Ten drummers stretch ideas of groove and rhythm in every direction. The ensemble performs compositions by Strønen, arranged spontaneously through signs and signals during the live performance. Although much of the music is composed in advance, it continuously shifts direction through the interaction with Fredrik and Håvard, using cues and a carefully rehearsed methodology. This gives the ensemble an elasticity and human dimension that can only be performed by living beings.
Both as an actor and playwright, Fredrik Høyer is best known for his monologue-based works, including Grønlandsūtraen and Jordopphimlesang at the National Theatre. As a playwright and author, he has written numerous stage productions, music albums, films and books.
Håvard Aufles is one of the strong younger keyboardists in the Norwegian jazz scene, working at the intersection of electronica, pop and jazz.
