"This is a duet for electric guitar (Olsson) and trombone (Rubin) and much of the time it sounds like something else" - Vital Weekly number 1215

2024 stock. Henrik Olsson and Ola Rubin are two well acknowledged swedish improvisers active on the experimental/improv scene in Europe. Currently with a base in Copenhagen/Malmö where they are involved in several projects that frequently appears on the international scene. In this duo, they both immerse themselves in a hearty improvised musical dialogue that is full of energy and expressivity. They work their way towards the unheard by meticulously exploring mind-boggling sounds, rhythms and abstract sonic shapes, often rapidly shifting between these. Curiosity are at the core of this duos identity and their interplay is reactive and dynamic. They both utilizes a way of playing that takes advantage of extended techniques which they both developed on their respective instrument.

"14 concise and urgent dialogs – the longest is over five minutes but the other around two minutes, full of uncompromising energy and expressive sense of invention...Olsson and Rubin also emphasize their unique deep listening, have an eccentric joy of playfulness, especially in colliding and clashing their sonic inventions, and share a constant need to explore, sculpt and shift their dialogs, without attachment to common dynamics or clear sonic narratives" - Eyal Hareuveni, Salt Peanuts

"Creative communication with multiplied perception levels with innovative articulation as well as technical freedom and invention well rooted in the free tradition, but in the same time parallel exploring patterns and new lines of communication via melody and sonic poetry" - jazzpress.gpoint-audio.com
