Asamisimasa

Asamisimasa is a Norwegian contemporary music ensemble known for their bold, genre-blurring approach to experimental sounds. Formed in 2001, this five-piece group (guitar, cello, percussion, piano, and electronics) thrives on collaborating with living composers like Øyvind Torvund and Simon Steen-Andersen, turning abstract ideas into visceral performances. Their work often mixes acoustic instruments with electronic textures, found objects, and playful theatrics, earning them a reputation as sonic adventurers unafraid of quirky or challenging material.

Recent projects like *Neon Forest Space* (showcasing Torvund’s “instrumental sci-fi” works) and *Pretty Sound* (highlighting Steen-Andersen’s mischievous compositions) capture their knack for balancing precision with raw energy. They’ve become festival favorites across Europe, bringing a punkish edge to contemporary classical music while championing Nordic experimentalism. Whether riffing on pop culture references or diving into avant-garde noise landscapes, Asamisimasa keeps audiences guessing—and leaning in.
