Norwegian-born saxophonist and performer Bendik Giske creates highly physical, sensual music that utilizes circular breathing techniques, and reflects influences such as ambient, avant-jazz, and club music. While his 2019 solo debut Surrender was played entirely by the artist himself with no overdubs or effects, he's also a prolific collaborator, working with artists such as Nils Bech, Pavel Milyakov, and André Bratten, who produced Giske's spacious 2021 full-length Cracks.
