Welcome
Welcome to the online home of Terje Isungset, one of Europe’s most accomplished and innovative percussionists.
Here you will find a comprehensive guide to Terje’s creative output, including his world famous, decades’ long Ice Music project, role as All Ice Record label owner, Nature’s Percussionist, composer, drummer and Associate Professor of Jazz - all roles which fulfil a lifetime’s quest to harness nature’s rhythmic forces. Comfortable as both solo performer and collaborator, Terje pushes the boundaries of melodic structure and artistic expression.
Terje cares deeply about the environment and constantly seeks ways of communicating the immense challenges that climate change presents (through his music) by working with many scientists and environmental NGOs - all perfectly highlighted in the film below recorded with Greenpeace International in Svalbard, called Ocean Memories.
