Ole Henrik Moe

Ole Henrik Moe

Ole Henrik Moe has been played on NTS shows including Mosca, with Tre Persefone (Excerpt) first played on 1 April 2015.

What the label says: This is probably among the most extreme solo violin music ever written, performed and recorded. Two pieces lasting 40 and 43 minutes, both pushing the performer to the edge when it comes to endurance and concentration. Being one of the reasons why composer Ole-Henrik Moe, himself a more than capable violinist, was happy to leave the difficult task to his wife, Kari Rønnekleiv, an accomplished player perfect for this kind of challenge. Ole-Henrik Moe (1966) is a composer and musician of extraordinary talent and originality who has never been afraid to follow his own path. He has worked with a wide selection of musicians and artists and dived into the most unlikely collaborations. At times too extreme even for the most openminded in academic music circles, his likeminded will most likely be found among followers of sound artists like Deathprod, Maja Ratkje and Lasse Marhaug or composers like Giacinto Scelsi, Morton Feldman and Edgar Varese. Born into the art world, Moe´s father, also named Ole Henrik Moe, was a pianist and an art historian and was the first director of the famous Henie-Onstad Kunstsenter from its opening in 1968 until 1989. He was responsible for bringing many cutting edge experimentalists from contemporary music, jazz and rock to perform at the centre. OHM studied violin at the Music Conservatory of Oslo and composition at the State Academy of Music in Oslo. He also studied composition with Iannis Xenakis at the Sorbonne University in France and at the Conservatoire Superieur de la Musique in Paris. He has written orchestral works, electronic works, chamber works and for art installations and has worked extensively with the Arditti Quartet. He has also worked and recorded with Deathprod, Nils Økland, Magne Furuholmen (Hermetic) and Motorpsycho. In 2006 he was awarded the Arne Nordheim composer price. Kari Rønnekleiv (1972) studied at the Trøndelag Music Conservatory in Trondheim with Bjarne Fiskum and with Levon Chilingirian at London Royal College of Music. She co-founded the internationally acclaimed Trondheimsolistene orchestra in 1988 and has worked with them as assistant concert master and soloist touring Europe and Japan and recording several cds with them. She has also played with and been attached to Trondheim Symphony Orchestra and Bodø Sinfonietta and has worked extensively with contemporary music and chamber music in several countries and for long periods in the northern parts of Norway.
