I am currently rehearsing with Tore Brunborg, Steinar Raknes and Per Oddvar Johansen. For what exactly? The answer is "Ym", Tore Brunborg's commissioned work for Vossajazz 2013. Ym is a local vossa expression meaning "Sound from afar". Tore has made some fantastic new tunes. The concert will be March 23rd at Gamlekinoen, Voss. I hope to see you there!

Hey, only a short update here. An interview with me came out recently in Guitar Moderne. Feel free to check it out here!

I am very happy and proud to present my new album Dream Logic and my newly redesigned homepage! The record is a result of the fruitful collaboration between live sampler/producer Jan Bang and myself. I find it hard to describe my music in words so I would like to borrow a quote from ECM which gives an impression of how the music could be perceived:

"With its drifting planes of sound-texture, built from layers of processed guitar, sometimes supported by subliminally-throbbing bass, and its otherworldly ambience, it attains an almost hallucinatory quality, underlined by its avoidance of stressed time. Rhythms are as liquid as Aarset’s phrasing. “Dream Logic” is an album of sound-painting which begins with guitar but goes beyond it"

The web design is made by my son, Øystein Aarset, I hope you like it too! I do :)

I am currently on tour around Europe, playing the material from the new record with my band constisting of

• Erland Dahlen on drums & percussion
• Wetle Holte on drums & percussion
• Audun Erlien on bass
• Johnny Skalleberg on live sound
