Kim Myhr

Kim Myhr is a Norwegian guitarist, composer, and improviser whose work lives at the intersection of experimental music, jazz, and contemporary classical. Known for his 12-string guitar textures and immersive sonic landscapes, he’s a key figure in Scandinavia’s avant-garde scene, collaborating with artists like Jenny Hval, Christian Wallumrød, and Ingar Zach. Myhr’s recent releases—like the shimmering *Vesper* or the sprawling *You | Me*—showcase his knack for blending intricate fingerpicking with hypnotic drones and ensemble interplay, often blurring the lines between composition and free improvisation. Whether crafting solo works or leading large ensembles, his music feels both meticulously crafted and wildly spontaneous, like a controlled burn of acoustic and electronic textures. Based in Oslo, he’s become a quietly influential force in redefining what “folk” instrumentation can sound like in experimental contexts.
