Hans Fredrik Jacobsen - Ore

ORE is the 4th solo album from Hans Fredrik Jacobsen and is an homage to every musician's most important organ: the ear (ore in Norwegian translates to ear in English).

This album consists of a combination of solistic material, trick-recordings where Hans Fredrik Jacobsen plays all the instruments, as well as different ensembles. Hans Fredrik explains the process behind the album like this:

Playing solo is another way of listening. You listen in a more inward way, into yourself. After having worked alone in the studiofor a while, it was good to be joined by the others who are included here. Solo playing is exciting, but the most fantastic things happen when you are playing in an ensemble.Music is a language. Improvising is like conducting a conversation you have never had before. The ear takes you on unfamiliar journeys, and sometimes you can find that you are doing something intuitively without really being able to explain afterwards what actually happened. This is a source of endless fascination.
