Nils Petter Molvaer - Fluidity

Fluidity is a landmark album in Nils Petter Molvær’s evolving body of work, bringing together the different sides of his music in one defining trio statement. His trio with Erland Dahlen and Jo Berger Myhre provides a direct and flexible setting for Molvær’s music, shaped through years of playing together. Drawing on jazz, rock, trip hop, electronic and ambient music, Fluidity combines the rhythmic intensity of KHMER with the atmospheric depth of Be Quiet, while pushing both worlds into a new trio setting. Powerful grooves, electronic textures, space and improvisation meet Molvær’s distinctive trumpet sound, creating music that is physical, expansive and emotionally charged. More than a continuation of his recent work, Fluidity brings together the core elements of Molvær’s musical language in a single, fully realised album. It captures the trio at the centre of his creative and touring life, and presents a clear statement of where his music is heading next.
