MOTIF was founded in the fall of -99, and have since that time been working continuously with the creation of their own sound, a sound that echoes the acoustic outings of Miles Davis, the structures of Ligeti, and the electronic collage of Aphex Twin. The band members met studying at Trondheim Conservatory’s Jazz Department, and are now key players in the young European improvising scene.
Their two records on the indie label AIMrec received great reviews all over, and with their third record, Apo Calypso they are moving to their favorite label; JAZZLANDrec, and at the same time taking their music further into a world of intricate rythms and beautiful harmonies.
