The ensemble was specially put together for the premiere of Eivind Buene’s composition Asymmetrical Music. The musicians were carefully selected because of their capabilities to improvise and also the fact that they happen to be amongst Norway’s finest interpreters of contemporary music. The musicians come from ensembles like Spunk, Poing, Kyberia, Affinis, Ensemble Ernst to name a few. Asymmetrical Music is conducted by Lene Grenager.
