| Supersilent with John Paul Jones |
 |
|
| In the course of its 14-year-history, Supersilent has become one of the world’s most acclaimed improvisation ensembles.

They have an extremely dynamic expression: from the almost inaudible via lyrical sections to the hard and brutal. Their instrumentalisation is also extremely flexible. It therefore came as no surprise that the multi-instrumentalist John Paul Jones seized the opportunity to play with them when given the chance at last year’s Punkt Festival (where he presented a large ballet production for which he composed the music).
Bassist and multi-instrumentalist John Paul Jones has had a long and eventful musical career. He started his first band at the age of fifteen, and a few years later he played in a jazz band along with John McLaughlin, among others. Following a successful collaboration with musicians from The Shadows, he almost joined that very popular pop orchestra, but instead ended up joining the band that would later become every bit as famous, Led Zeppelin. Even today, almost 50 years after his career began, he continues his success in projects such as the rock supergroup Them Crooked Vultures.
The spontaneous and 100% improvised collaboration with Supersilent left both sides wanting more, and now they are set to play together again at Kulturhuset in Molde. And we look forward to hearing the result.
