Led by pianist Magnus Granberg, Skogen is a Swedish ensemble working at an intersection between contemporary chamber music and improvisation. The music, which originates from the interplay between composition and improvisation and between individual and collective processes, is a poetical practice which in subtle and seemingly paradoxical ways unifies order with chaos, unity with diversity and the past with the present.
The ensemble has released seven CDs on the renowned British record label Another Timbre and has performed at festivals such as Ultima (NO), Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival (UK), Splitter Music Festival (DE) and Ulrichsberger Kaleidophon (AT).
