Njål Ølnes (saxophone) and Ole Fredrik Norbye (piano) present Bird Food, an album born from countless hours of rehearsal and exploration. Together, they have worked tirelessly to find a shared musical language, creating a space where improvisation feels both natural and deliberate.
The track titles draw on a bird theme, mirroring the music’s freedom and unpredictability. Like birds in flight, the duo’s interplay shifts effortlessly between grounded melodies and soaring improvisations, inviting listeners to join them on a journey without a fixed destination.
