The members of the acoustic trio
Monkey Plot
have been playing together since 2000. With acoustic guitar (
Christian Winther
), double bass (
Magnus Nergaard
), and drums (
Jan Martin Gismervik
), they have carved out an expressive idiom that evokes other musical references but is at the same time unique. They started out as a raw electric guitar trio belonging to a
Hendrix
-in-the-rough tradition, with a reputation for throwing bananas at their audiences. But at some point they pulled the plug and began to listen their way into a new and uncompromising acoustic expression. Monkey Plot's style is intimate and unpretentious. It would seem more accurate to call it "music for small spaces" rather than the more formal-sounding "chamber music." There is something straightforward and grounded about the band's music. Although dramatic effect has been abandoned, their music has become neither boring nor lifeless. Monkey Plot is an improvisational band, in the sense that improvisation is the tool used by the trio's members to make music. They describe it themselves as a simple method that gives a varied and organic result. The music is always pressing onwards. Nevertheless, it would be wrong to categorize their music as belonging within the improvisational genre. One suspects that
Neil Young
and
Nick Drake
are more influential sources of inspiration for guitarist Christian Winther than, for instance,
Derek Bailey
. Monkey Plot's first album,
Løv Og Lette Vimpler
(Gigafon), was released in 2013. It was recorded at home in the living room of free jazz legend
Frode Gjerstad
. That same year the group won the Jazzintro competition, receiving the title "Young Norwegian Jazz Musicians of the Year" and a grant from Gramo, the Norwegian organization responsible for collecting and distributing music royalties. The band have toured extensively, and have held concerts in Norway, the rest of Europe, and Asia. In 2015 they have had several collaborative concerts with the Swedish poet and sound artist
Pär Thörn
, who is also the source of this album's title,
Angående Omstendigheter Som Ikke Lar Seg Nedtegne
. The members of the band also play together in the experimental rock band
Karokh
. Like previous winners of Jazzintro such as
Urban Connection
,
In the Country
, and
Albatrosh
, Monkey Plot are proving to be a major exponent of Norwegian jazz, both in Norway and abroad.
