Emmeluth’s Amoeba is a groundbreaking Danish/Norwegian quartet consisting of four of the most exciting musicians on the Scandinavian scene right now. The group has toured extensively for the past 3 years, including live concerts at Copenhagen Jazz Festival, Nattjazz (Bergen jazz festival), Summer Bummer Festival (Antwerp) to name a few. With creative music that moves through characters of free jazz to chamber music like shapes with fierce energy it is hard to be left untouched.
Pianist Christian Balvig has made a mark both as a musician leading his own group and playing with the colossal danish supergroup Efterklang as well as composing music for large orchestras such as Copenhagen Philharmonic Orchestra.
Guitarist Karl Bjorå is a strong voice on the scene of improvised music and has recorded and toured extensively with his own groups Megalodon Collective, Yes Deer and Aperture for years all around Europe, USA and Asia.
Drummer Ole Mofjell is a force of nature, playing with Thurston Moore in duo format, as well as touring with ECM recording legends Jon Balke and Norwegian Powerhouse guitarist Hedvig Mollestad
Last but not least, leader and main composer for Emmeluth’s Amoeba, Signe Emmeluth has made a strong imprint on the scene during the last 5 years, playing with Kresten Osgood as well as being a part of Trondheim Jazzorkester, and has lastest joined Gard Nilssen’s Supersonic Orchestra.
Press:
We can take the problem in any direction, we must recognize that the alto saxophonist and Danish composer Signe Emmeluth is a great musician who has a sense of the collective, the narrative and whose energetic colors are generous. This second disc contains it all. Well, it contains… let’s just say it explodes all of this!
Citizenjazz(FR), Matthieu Jouan
This working quartet reaches new heights and deeper depths by experimenting, searching and taking risks… Signe Emmeluth proves herself, again, as one of the most original and fresh voices in the Nordic scene. Provocative, mind blowing and emotionally engaging.
Salt Peanuts, Eval Hareuveni
Emmeluth’s Amoeba played during the previous edition of Summer Bummer. Even on a very strong second day of the festival, the young band impressed with a long-lasting performance. The expectations around Chimaera were therefore high…They are being redeemed. It also confirms that the quartet, in an immensely crowded scene, has defined its own corner in no time. It is difficult to find better proof of class.
Enola, (BE) Guy Peters
The music carries with it echoes of greats like Albert Ayler and Peter Brötzmann. Emmeluth seamlessly steers the band from uncompromising free jazz in one moment, to more strident jazz in the next. It sounds very tough!
