, June 2006, Germany]] Arve Henriksen (born 22 March 1968, Stranda) is a Norwegian trumpet player, renowned for his distinctive, flute-like sound on the trumpet, inspired by the sound of the Japanese shakuhachi flute. He also sings; his unique wordless vocalising was central to 'Chiaroscuro', where he often sings in a soprano's range. The control over his head voice is such that in 'Opening Image' he could quite easily be mistaken for a woman. He has played among others with Misha Alperin, Jon Balkes Magnetic North Orchestra, Nils Petter Molvær, Audun Kleive, Trygve Seim, Terje Isungset, Christian Wallumrød and recently with Iain Ballamy's Food for Quartet and Supersilent, both bands signed on Rune Grammofon. He has also contributed to David Sylvian's Nine Horses project and his latest work, "When Loud Weather Buffeted Naoshima." Discography · Sakuteiki 2001 · Chiaroscuro 2004 ·
