Andreas Røysum Ensemble - Andreas Røysum Ensemble with Marvin Tate (2025) [Hi-Res]

The collaboration between Chicago spoken word artist Marvin Tate and clarinetist Andreas Røysum is built on contrasts: harmony versus chaos, and profound philosophy versus humor. The project's music is characterized by sharp dynamic shifts, moving from majestic heights to rapid descents. A large ensemble featuring both acoustic and electronic instruments, including notable jazz figures like Signe Emmeluth and Christian Meaas Svendsen, supported the recording. The work represents a synthesis of poignant lyricism and expressive instrumental improvisation.
