Amputation from New Constellations by Falkevik feat. Ola Kvernberg

The single "Amputation" is inspired by a play by Jens Bjørneboe by the same name. The play is a warning against abuse of power in the name of science. A horror scenario comes to life. The criminal justice system cooperates with medicine under a common goal; To "normalize" the population to achieve total power.

It is a dark and intense song about being threatened to follow the norm in society and all the consequences that can occur if you dare to break out and be yourself.

Ola Kvernberg has also contributed synth, marxophone, and strings to this song, which gives the piece even greater depth. A few seconds of Greta Thunberg's famous "I shouldn't be up here"-speech is also hidden in between the waves of sound, reversed and distorted.

"Amputation" is accompanied by a brilliant music video made by the graphic artists / animators Clémence Mérouze and Kristine Knapstad, directed by Julie Ibenfeldt Lindvik.

With courage, creativity and love of improvisation and experimentation.

A Norwegian modern piano trio that mixes the nordic jazz touch with quirky and elegant melodies that will linger in your ear. The songs move confidently between singer-songwriter-aestetics, lyrical instrumental passages, riff-based solos and the flexibility of a jazz-trio.
