Miman
Hans Kjorstad: fiddle
Andreas Røysum: guitar and clarinet
Egil Kalman: bass and synth
With over 75 concerts in 16 countries since their debut in 2016, Scandinavian trio Miman have forged their improvised interplay into an all-consuming expression – crystallized fragments of music styles presented mysteriously and inexplicably as in a dream.
This expression strives for an imminent just tuned ideal and is not afraid of being neither head-nodding groovy nor strict and slow-flowing, as captured on their latest record ‘1000 bitar’.
Miman is an improvising trio consisting of fiddler Hans Kjorstad, guitarist and clarinetist Andreas Røysum and bassist and synthetist Egil Kalman, three of the most distinct and active young voices on the thriving Scandinavian jazz and improv scene. Their sound is shaped by their diverse backgrounds and influences – Norwegian, English and Indian folk music blends seamlessly with sentiments aching to free jazz and contemporary music in an organic fashion that steers clear of the dogmatic.
