Dag Arnesen’s musical journey began with classical piano training, drawing inspiration from beautiful Bergen’s own legacy in music, particularly through composer/pianists like Edvard Grieg.
Ice Breaking is an album where Dag not only breaks the frozen barriers of convention but also delivers a fresh cascade of musical expression with listeners invited to traverse the landscapes of his creativity. With all but two tracks freshly penned, the album serves as a testament to his enduring commitment to pushing the boundaries of his craft and his evolution as both performer and composer.
Dag feels that whereas melodies have traditionally been a focal point of his work, he embraces a more eclectic approach on this album, allowing rhythm and harmony to take centre stage in certain pieces. Tracks like A New One highlight his melodic sensibilities, while After Dinner shifts the focus to intricate chord progressions, showcasing the depth of his compositional prowess.
In a nod to his personal life, Dag pays tribute to his feline companion with Sarah, a charming composition dedicated to his beloved cat. Dag says: “…our family cats are always gifted with a personalised composition”.
Bim Bam Bom, a piece conceived four decades ago under the influence of Miles Davis, finds new life in the trio setting, offering a nostalgic glimpse into Arnesen’s musical roots.
