NordicLife Culture + Taste + History + Events + Personalities Mette Henriette Musician T rondheim-born saxophonist and composer Mette Henriette fi nds musical inspiration nearly everywhere, be it in architecture, scents, dance or sports. Her debut album was released last November and features her signature, delicate sound alongside collaborators ranging from pianist Johan Lindvall to cellist Katrine Schiøtt to members of the Cikada Quartet. When it comes to collaborating, Henriette identifi es Manfred Eicher and Marina Abramovic as standouts but relishes in the " pleasure of being creative with unique people almost every day. " " I grew up on the east side of Trondheim near a chocolate factory. " " I believe every sensory impression and personal experience has the power to infl uence and inspire. " " My saxophone is a dear companion. I bring it wherever I go. " " A beautiful thing about Norway is the wild weather and how it changes with the seasons.
