Christian Wallumrød
One of the most prominent musicians of Norway's younger generation, Christian Wallumrød has worked as a composer and musician since 1993. He performs on acoustic and electronic keyboards.
He has released several highly acclaimed albums with ECM Records, both solo and with various ensembles. The Christian Wallumrød Ensemble occupies the space between classical, folk and jazz, to create poignant and atmospheric compositions.
Over the years, Wallumrød has performed live in various ad hoc groups within the field of imrpovised music. At Unsound, he will appear with Ricardo Villalobos and Max Loderbauer, presenting their project "Re:ECM," which takes the back catalogue of ECM Records as a starting point to create new music. Wallumrød's participation in this project is in part an ackowledgement of the way fragments of his music feature as key source material for Villalobos and Loderbauer's "Re:ECM" album.
