Toneregn is an ensemble that performs newly written music by Vibe Ulbrandt and Niels Ulbrandt.
We are inspired by nature, philosophy and the cosmos, and we love the magic when music collaborates with other art forms and disciplines.
The musical language is a crossover between folk music, jazz and classical.
Some compositions are sound collages that are a little harder to define a genre, using, for example, sounds recorded in nature. We play both acoustically and electro-acoustically.
Our passion is to create encounters in art, and our projects have involved art forms such as dance, visual arts, textile design and gastronomy.
