Nils Petter Molvær's trumpet technique

Nils Petter Molvær is a Norwegian trumpeter known for his innovative approach to trumpet playing. His technique blends traditional brass playing with modern effects and electronic soundscapes. He often employs extended techniques such as breath control, flutter-tonguing, and half-valve playing, which produce unique sounds and textures. Molvær also uses effects pedals to manipulate his trumpet's sound, adding reverb, delay, and distortion. This fusion of jazz, ambient, and electronic music creates a distinctive style that challenges conventional trumpet playing and broadens the instrument's expressive possibilities. His work exemplifies the evolution of jazz into contemporary realms.
