Ignore started out as a free jazz trio led by guitar player and composer Gaute Storsve, with Jonas Sjøvaag and Henning Sandsdalen on drums and bass. They soon contacted the experienced alto sax player Erik Balke who has worked with musicians such as Peter Brötzman, Don Cherry and Ed Blackwell. In the beginning the sound of Ignore was heavy and intense, as if they where saying: «try to ignore this! ». But the compositions soon became longer and much more lyrical, and so the improvisations changed accordingly. The nature of the music made it necessary to include two additional musicians. The energetic yet lyrical flute player Ketil Einarsen, best known from Jaga Jazzist and the unique composer and singer Hanne Hukkelberg, both joined the group. Gaute Storsve now started to work on music to fit every musician’s personal style, and the group tried to find the right balance between written themes and improvisation. The aim was to challenge the conventions within the jazz idiom in both form and contents, and to make experimental music sound beautiful. The album “Happiness not yet won” was recorded live in a 350 square feet room, which earlier was a T-Ford fabric. Hanne Hukkelberg´s brother Thomas Hukkelberg recorded and mixed the album. The music was altered slightly to fit the big room. The result of the recording is a lyrical and explosive album were six individual musicians' distinctive characters are plaited together to form an entirety through Gaute Storsve's music and lyrics.

Il collettivo Improvvisatore Involontario
sbarca per la prima volta a Roma con il suo progetto più ingombrante e
rumoroso. Naked Musicians si propone al pubblico romano in occasione del lancio

membri tra Roma, Bologna, Venezia, Udine, Parigi e New York), ma non è sola:
Improvvisatore Involontario esce contemporaneamente con 3 nuovi prodotti.
Anche gli altri 2, ossia La commissione D'Ascolto
- l'infuocato duello piano/drums che costituisce l'esordio
di War Duo (Marcello Di Lorenzo e Francesco Cusa), e Origins
of Body Hammer - altra opera battesimale per un mix di elettronica
e improvvisazione con Carlo Natoli, Francesco Cusa ed Emiliano Cinquerrui
- saranno presentati all'INIT in anteprima in questa serata
d'eccezione.
