Jonas Evenstad

 Jonas is a Norwegian percussionist, improviser, and interpreter. His personal work emerges from a deeply embodied connection to the tangible vibrations of objects. This unique perspective forms the foundation of his creativity across concerts, installations, artworks, and workshops. 

As a percussionist, Jonas carefully considers every frequency he produces, striving for tonal autonomy with each percussion instrument. As an improviser, he emphasizes collective listening practices as a tool for play and creativity. As an interpreter, Jonas approaches performance with boldness, often questioning established norms and traditions of interpretation. He seeks originality and authenticity, exploring the vast possibilities available to the reader of a musical text. 

Together with Ferdinand Schwarz they form the group functions of time exploring extended durations performances and creative listening modes.
