JOHN HEGRE is one of the cornerstones of Norwegian noise and experimental music. After working several years as a sound engineer he decided to continue by making his own music since the end of the 1990s. Hegre is the founding member of the famous Jazzkammer group together with Lasse Marhaug. The group was founded in 1998.
Hegre has been an active performer and producer of noise, improvised music and new electronic music since the mid-1990s, with projects such as Jazkamer, NOXAGT, Golden Serenades, Kaptein Kaliber and duos with Bjørnar Habbestad, Nils Are Drønen, Jean-Philippe Gross and Maja Ratkje, with whom he has also released an album. In the concerts Hegre uses a computer, guitar and some ‘small electronic devices’. Hegre lives in Bergen.
