About Trinacria

Trinacria was initiated by Rikskonsertene as a commissioned work by Ivar Bjørnson from Enslaved, Maja Ratkje and Hild Sofie Tafjord, both from Fe-mail. The compositions are performed by the heavyweight line-up of Grutle Kjellson (Enslaved), Arve "Ice Dale" Isdal (Enslaved, Audrey Horne), Iver Sandøy (Manngard, Emmerhoff & The Melancholy Babies) and Espen Lien (Barbie Bones, Slut Machine). Trinacria premiered live at the Inferno Festival 2007 Thursday April 5th, followed by an appearance at Kongsberg Jazz Festival 2007 on July 4th. This first round was concluded by a Norwegian tour during the last parts of September 2007 going into October. Trinacria is a composition turned into a project turned into a band. -Will it be a short-lived saga or will it continue? -Does it lead a life of its own, or are there other intentions behind it?
