Arve Henriksen at Moers Festival, June 2006, Germany

Arve Henriksen (born 22 March 1968, Stranda) is a Norwegian trumpet player, renowned for his distinctive, flute-like sound on the trumpet, inspired by the sound of the Japanese shakuhachi flute. He also sings; his unique wordless vocalising was central to 'Chiaroscuro', where he often sings in a soprano's range. He control over his head voice is such that in 'Opening Image' he could quite easily be mistaken for a woman.
