Haftor Medbøe, Konrad Wiszniewski - Poiesis (2023)

The resulting album of ten freely improvised pieces draws deeply from the experiential wells of live and music made in presenting a suite of highly evocative meditations on the human condition and spaces occupied. The pieces are presented in the order in which they were recorded and form a spellbinding narrative arc with the two musicians empathically responding and willfully disrupting, as they seek and find meaning and beauty from chaos and chance.

Haftor Medbøe has previously recorded 13 studio albums with his eponymous group and alongside European and Scandinavian artists including Espen Eriksen, Gunnar Halle, Jacob Karlzon, Eva Malling,
Pete Furniss, Tom Bancroft and others.

Konrad Wisniewski is one half of Scottish duo New Focus and plays for the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra. He is winner of both Scottish Jazz Awards ‘best instrumentalist’ and the UK Parliamentary
Jazz Award for ‘best group’.
