Arve says: "An interest in sound-making was there from the beginning of my work with the trumpet. I have spent many hours on developing a warm sound, for instance, but not only that. In my opinion, the trumpet has vast potential for tone and sound variations that we still have not heard. At one point, I think it was in 1988, Nils Petter Molvær lent me a cassette of shakuhachi flute playing. Then things changed."
Arve Henriksen began collecting recordings of Japanese music, with koto, biwa, shakuhachi and other instruments: "I let the music 'ring' and develop in my head. I was astonished by the sound of this flute..." The shakuhachi's roots in the tradition of Zen Buddhism fascinated the trumpeter, as did its "meditative and minimalistic expressive quality. "This has made me work with tone and sound making in a new direction.”
But his interest doesn’t stop with this. He has been inspired by all sorts of folk music, also the Norwegian. He is now interested to work with more contemporary and composed music. He has also spent time on electronics and different treatments on the trumpet. And during the last years has also been focusing on his singing.

Thank You for the add. We love You in Estonia and Your music can be heard on our radio quite often, i've also played it several times on classical radiostation at latenight alternative-music broadcast Fantaasia, like here for example http://klassikaraadio.err.ee/helid?main_id=951633
My
purpose was to combine the trumpet with another instrument or with
voice. There are some unusual duos like trumpet and recorder, trumpet
and melodica, cornetto and gadulka (bulgarian folkstringinstrument) ...
Besides three important pieces from the new music repertoir you listen
to some pieces written for me, others are improvised. And I am glad
that 3 bulgarian songs are part of the cd.
