Norwegian innovator, trumpeter and producer Nils Petter Molvær presents Be Quiet – a duo collaborative album built across nine tracks with nine distinct artists including Imogen Heap and John Paul Jones, recorded in cities spanning Bangkok, Rome, Berlin and London. Across landscapes of electronica, ambient textures and jazz improvisation, Be Quiet unfolds as an intimate, spatial set of recordings – built on proximity and contrast, where different cultures, disciplines and sonic identities meeting Moalvær’s unmistakable trumpet voice.

The album is accompanied by a documentary film directed by celebrated Norwegian filmmaker Per Manning, capturing the process, environments and relationships behind the music, and informing the project’s visual world. Be Quiet unfolds as Molvær steps into each collaborator’s space, responding in real time and shaping a body of work that remains fluid, intimate and constantly in motion.
