Bjørn Rabben

Bjørn Rabben (b. 1959) is one of the most recognized Norwegian percussionists to date and divides his time between the contemporary music scene and working as a freelance orchestral and opera percussionist. Within the contemporary music sphere, he has dedicated his time to Cikada, the Cikada Duo, which he founded with pianist Kenneth Karlsson, and the improvising quartet Point 4 (Cikada Duo plus pianist Jon Balke and percussionist Ingar Zach). Apart from numerous CD recordings with Cikada and Oslo Sinfonietta, Point 4 released the CD Panopticon on Sofa Records and received international acclaim for their refined and structured improvisations.
