Collection: Mark Solborg

Mark Solborg (b.1972) is a Danish/Argentinian guitarist, composer & teacher. Mark strives to create contemporary music that requires presence, and in different ways - with respect - challenges tradition, listener and musician. Music where the sum of the collective efforts is greater than the individual performance. A personal and unpolished approach is a key ambition. The main focus has been on Improvisation and texture in combination with complex contemporary writing. Solborg has, since 2000, as composer, leader or co-leader released 17 internationally praised albums with original works. Besides that a substantial amount of music for plays and film.
