PIP is a duo playing improvised and semi-composed pieces of music, with Torstein Lavik Larsen on trumpet and Fredrik Rasten on guitar. The music is focusing on small variations in tonal and timbral colour often utilizing just intonation, extended playing techniques and repeating musical patterns.Sometimes the music includes electronic elements, never abandoning the core sound of acoustic guitar and trumpet as a point of departure.
