AEMONA

new release on Sound of Niche

Arve Henriksen (Norway, 1968) is internationally acclaimed for his ethereal, shakuhachi-inspired trumpet style. A founding member of Supersilent, he has released on ECM & Rune Grammofon and worked with David Sylvian, Jan Bang, and Trio Mediaeval.

Bram Stadhouders (Netherlands, 1987) blends jazz, ambient, and classical influences into genre-defying projects. With 13 releases and over 800 concerts in 60+ countries, he’s known for groundbreaking work like Orbit and collaborations with Netherlands Chamber Choir, Nils Petter Molvaer, and B.O.X.

Aemona is the third vinyl release by Podium JIN, recorded live and mixed by Sebastiaan van Bijlevelt, and released on the Sound of Niche label. Hand-numbered, 300-piece edition. For collectors, jazz lovers, and seekers of sound beyond genre.

A haunting, one-take live encounter between two sonic visionaries: Norwegian trumpet master Arve Henriksen and Dutch guitarist-composer Bram Stadhouders. Recorded in front of a live audience at Galloway Studio (Nijmegen), Aemona captures the raw essence of improvisation — no overdubs, just pure, intuitive sound. Ethereal trumpet tones float through ambient guitar textures and electronics, sculpted into a seamless, meditative soundscape.

Note: Although there are 7 tracks to download, you’ll actually hear 9 as the title tracks Eklon and Wister, and Nersti and Koplu flow seamlessly into each other.

Jan Bang | Arve Henriksen – New Album on Punkt Editions – After the Wildfire

Commissioned by the Skopje Jazz Festival for its 42nd edition in 2023, After the Wildfire — the new album by Jan Bang and Arve Henriksen — was first performed in Skopje with the FAMES Institute Orchestra and Macedonian voices, arranged and conducted by Džijan Emin. That premiere revealed a music that hovered between genres, at once ambient, folkloric, and symphonic, “with its main feature being innovation and creativity,” as Nenad Giorgevski wrote.
The album itself grows directly from those premiere recordings. At its heart is the quartet of Bang (live sampling, electronics), Henriksen (trumpet, voice), Eivind Aarset (guitar, electronics), and Ingar Zach (percussion), their elemental dialogue set within the orchestral textures shaped by Emin and the FAMES musicians. To this foundation, new studio recordings made at Punkt Studio were later added — including “Seeing (Eyes Closed),” “Halfway Between Noon and Sunset,” and “Remnants” — featuring Bang, Henriksen, and Aarset. The result is a work that moves between live and studio, collective and intimate, each piece emerging as a scene, an apparition, a fragment of survival: the sound of performance transformed into lasting resonance.
