He’s a drummer, percussionist and composer who mainly works within the field of improvised music and progressive jazz music.

Dag Magnus Narvesen’s sound can be described as very energetic with lots of different textures developing simultaneously. There is a very strong melodic quality in the way he approaches the drums and his playing is also very influenced by what he calls elliptic grooves, – sequences of rhythmic elements which are resembling grooves and creating a forward motion without playing “in time”. He is a very versatile and creative drummer who always is very much present in the moment.

Dave B. –
A beautiful anarchy assumed where everyone finds his place, his part, his space. The pianist makes harmonics vibrate by adjusting the strings while it rubs, sings, squeaks, with high-pitched sounds floating and interfering in the dilated or contracted atmosphere according to the mood and the state of mind of the moment.
