BIO

Pettervagan

Petter Vågan (b.06/07-1982) is a versatile and ever-searching guitarist based in Trondheim, Norway.

He has an expressive style rooted somewhere between jazz, freejazz, rock, freeimprov and electronic music, and utilizes an array of effects in a delicate manner to mangle and distort reality in his own way. He also uses prepared guitars and unorthodox methods to bring forth new sounds from the guitar.

In addition to have toured extensively all over Norway, Sweden, USA, Canada, Russia, Serbia, Germany and the Netherlands, he´s cooperated with many of the most exciting musicians in Norway and has drawn notice to himself through many records over the last years.
