In a number of CD releases Karl Seglem has made use of traditional Norwegian music, especially Hardanger fiddle music, as a starting point for generating new musical spaces, his own mode of expression. He creates exciting soundscapes that eliminate boundaries between musical genres.
Karl Seglem plays ethno-jazz with roots in traditional music, which is related to free improvisation and world music. His new band has a modern acoustic sound with hints of electronic trimmings. Seglem plays together with a band composed of prominent traditional musicians and top improvisational musicians. This group represents a continuation of Seglem's artistic efforts in various projects since the beginning of the 1990s. The nucleus
of the group consists of Seglem, tenor sax and goat horn; Håkon Høgemo, electric Hardanger fiddle (member of group Utla); Bjørn Kjellemyr, bass (member of T. Rypdal's band and the J. G. Hoff Group); and Helge Norbakken, percussion (singer Maria Joao's and Kari Bremnes bands).
