Haftor Medbøe | Konrad Wiszniewski

Haftor and Konrad are overjoyed to return to the Scottish Arts Club bringing a performance that draws on a breadth of contemporary sound worlds to create a lush and enveloping cinematic audience experience. With improvisation at its core, electronica meets acoustica head on through high energy feats of musical daring alongside spells of contemplative tranquillity in a rollercoaster ride of emotional depth and complexity. At the heart of this music lies a journey in search of beauty within the human spirit, propelled by bold and strident melodies over sumptuous and textural harmonic soundscapes.

They will perform music from their 2023 album, Poiesis alongside material from their forthcoming recording scheduled for release later this year. Their music has been described as: Ethereal, expansive and thoughtful … improvisation at its finest – UK Jazz News
