Hans P. Kjorstad

Hans P. Kjorstad is a musician and composer informed by Norwegian traditional music and experimental improvised music. His main artistic interest is to work towards an increased sensitivity to the sensual potential in subtle tonality changes: how do different tonalities influence what we see when we hear sound and what we hear when we see something? He performs solo, with ensembles, and for film and other audio-visual projects. Kjorstad has performed in some 30 countries, and has contributed to records issued by labels such as Leaving Records, Motvind Records, Talik, Hubro, SOFA, Drag City and others. He has toured and recorded with Sam Gendel, Ernst Reijseger, and Alasdair Roberts among others.
