Cipher is a new quartet bringing together four of the most active voices on the Norwegian jazz scene. Their eponymous debut album, recorded at Neby Studios in Oslo in June 2025, showcases a group built on deep musical complicity, collective energy, and a shared curiosity for the directions music can take. The name Cipher reflects the group's central idea: that of a coded language, a form of internal musical code developed over years of playing together in various formations. The quartet relies on an intuitive understanding of each other's phrasing, rhythmic placement, and improvisational reflexes. This shared vocabulary not only shapes how the music comes alive on stage but also the very writing of the compositions, conceived from the outset with the unique interaction between the group members in mind.

Martin Nodeland: guitar
