Co-founded in the early 2010s by Danish guitarist Mikkel Ploug, Norwegian singer and saxophonist Sissel Vera Pettersen and Flemish saxophonist and clarinettist Joachim Badenhorst, the Equilibrium ensemble is one of the best-kept secrets of European post-jazz. Mostly basing their work on the combination of extremely delicate sound textures and the sense of immensely dilated space that is characteristic of Scandinavian improvised music, the trio creates atmospheric, dreamlike music, playing with the virtuosity of Badenhorst's lunar sonorities and Pettersen's sensual, evanescent voice, to better take sudden forays into moods of gloomier energy, haunted by poisonous pulses and beats.
