LIVE MUSIC: Soft Noise Ensemble (Norway) / ADRA / If Planes Were Comets

SOFT NOISE ENSEMBLE / ADRA / IF PLANES WERE COMETS

fountain arts presents an evening of wonderful long-form sonic explorations from Norway, Yorkshire & Lincolnshire.

Soft Noise Ensemble

Soft Noise Ensemble (SNE) are a Norway-based trio operating somewhere at the

junction of jazz, free-improv and (soft) noise. Expect sonic explorations of objects

hidden sounds, double bass rumblings, and textural synth layers. Think Taj Mahal

Travellers playing in the belly of an old Norsk fishing vessel, perhaps.

living in Bergen. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Jazz from the Grieg Academy in
