Info zu What Can We Live Without?

Tore T. Sandbakken follows the critically acclaimed 2023 debut Imperfect Solitude with What Can We Live Without?, together with saxophonist Hanna Paulsberg and pianist Dag-Filip Roaldsnes.

This time, the work began with one clear idea: Sandbakken wanted to make a record about hope. It should feel bright. For a period, the album carried the working title Lux Illuxit – “the light shines”.

For Sandbakken, the trio is less about the absence of a bass than about the people and the interplay between them. He describes Paulsberg as a musician with a unique presence and a tone that “embraces you like a warm hug”. His collaboration with Roaldsnes also extends beyond music, with shared references in literature, art and experiences in nature.

What Can We Live Without? continues the trio’s open, lyrical expression across eight compositions by Sandbakken and Roaldsnes.
