Stetson Westerhus & Dahlen share debut single End This Now

Colin Stetson is not just making music; he is orchestrating an entire sonic landscape, weaving intricate threads between avant-garde composition, cinematic scoring, and powerful instrumental collaboration. This highly engaged musician is currently navigating a vibrant schedule packed with creative endeavors, proving himself a force in experimental sound design.

Earlier this year, Stetson showcased his unique voice through a compelling trio project. He teamed up with fellow experimental artists Greg Fox and Trevor Dunn to release the album Nethering, an album that captures the essence of his distinctive sound. Beyond studio work, Stetson’s talent extended to film, where he provided the musical soundtrack for Netflix’s Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen, demonstrating his versatility across media.

But Stetson’s creative journey is far from limited to solo endeavors. He is also a key member of the dynamic group 10¹⁷, an ensemble that brings together formidable musicians from the Norwegian jazz world. This trio includes Stian Westerhus and Erland Dahlen, adding an additional layer of depth and complexity to Stetson’s musical explorations.

The collective energy of 10¹⁷ recently made waves with their debut single, “End This Now,” which has garnered attention for its raw and compelling sound. Looking ahead, Stetson is gearing up for another exciting collaboration. Next month, he will join forces with experimental bagpiper Brìghde Chaimbeul to release their new collaborative LP, All The Light In The World, promising a unique blend of instrumental and atmospheric textures.

Whether scoring television dramas, collaborating with jazz masters, or creating immersive experimental albums, Colin Stetson continues to push the boundaries of what music can be. His ongoing projects underscore a remarkable ability to fuse disparate artistic worlds into something genuinely fresh and unforgettable.
