Morten J. Olsen

Morten J. Olsen is a Norwegian percussionist, composer and improviser whose work ranges from drum kit and vibraphone to electronics and computer-based sound. His playing brings together rhythm, noise, experimental rock and freely improvised music, with a particular interest in texture and physical energy.

He has participated in Norwegian groups including MoHa! and Ultralyd, and has worked with musicians from European experimental scenes. Creative Sources recordings document his contribution to this broader field of improvisation, where percussion functions as an independent sound source as well as a rhythmic instrument.
