The collaboration between Lemur and Ståle Storløkken brings together some of the most distinctive voices in Norwegian improvisation and contemporary music, set in the frame of church acoustics. At the core of the project is a shared, radical approach to the instrument as a sounding body, and a musical practice rooted in improvisation, deep listening, and collective form-making.

Ståle Storløkken is one of Norway’s most influential sound explorers, known from projects such as Elephant9, Supersilent, and his long-standing collaboration with Terje Rypdal. His work is driven by timbre, texture, and harmonic freedom, and by a persistent curiosity for the hidden possibilities and limitations of his instruments. Whether working with Hammond organ, church organ, or electronics, Storløkken seeks out unconventional playing techniques and emergent sonic details, always attentive to the moment and the space in which the music unfolds.

Lemur and Ståle Storløkken work within a shared improvisational space defined by intensity, openness, and attentive listening. Delicate melodic material may develop into dense sonic textures; mechanical structures intersect with organic movement; lyrical or sacred sonorities meet more raw and abrasive elements.
