2220 Arts and Black Editions Present a night with Norwegian musician and composer **Bendik Giske.** Renowned for his avant-garde approach to the saxophone and his unique blending of music, movement, and conceptual art, Giske is an artist and saxophonist whose expressive use of physicality, vulnerability and endurance have won him much critical acclaim. With his live performances drawing from the repertoire of material found on his three albums to date for the *Smalltown Supersound* label, Giske draws his audience into an arresting display of musicality, bodily stamina and rich, unfettered humanity. Every element - be it microphone placement, light arrangement or creative sound design - is carefully considered for maximum resonance. Born in Oslo, Norway, Giske developed a passion for music at an early age. His early years were shaped by exposure to jazz, electronic music, and traditional Scandinavian and Balinese sounds, an eclectic foundation that paved the way for his experimental and genre-defying career.
