Seek explore get lost surrender meet share play sing love love have fun put down roots unfold.
Everything is mixed up. Between writing and improvisation, words and sounds, concrete and abstract. Then everything comes together, around poetry, free expression and musical dialogue.
We travel. At the borders of reason. And we invite you to come with us.

WHATEVER HAPPENS DON'T BE YOURSELF is a project initiated by Nils Are Drønen, drummer, conductor and composer who studied at the Academy of Music in Bergen, Norway.
With his orchestra, he explores the many facets and possibilities of jazz and improvised music. Here are free improvisations, nourished and underlined by magnificent Nordic melodies, all executed with great sensitivity and an exceptional richness of timbres.
