Terje Isungset

Terje Isungset is a Norwegian percussionist, composer, and pioneer of *ice music*, crafting instruments entirely from frozen elements like ice, snow, and glacial water. Born in 1964, he’s spent decades merging environmental awareness with avant-garde soundscapes, performing in Arctic landscapes and global venues alike. His work—like the frosty textures of *Ice Quartet* or the reflective *In Memory of Nature*—captures raw Nordic beauty while highlighting climate fragility. He founded the annual Ice Music Festival Norway and collaborates with nature itself, chiseling drums, horns, and xylophones from ice blocks. Releases like *Arctic Ice Music Ensemble (Live at Vossa Jazz)* and *Glacial Poetry* showcase his eerie, organic compositions, proving music can literally melt away if you’re not careful. 🧊
