"... she lays to waste preconceptions often attached to her instrument. After all, it is she, not the instrument, that is expressing beauty in turbulent and epic times.”
- Paul Rauch, All About Jazz
For the past decade, flutist, composer and band leader Elsa Nilsson has explored unlikely connections among tendencies of human nature, contradiction and pluralism and the natural world. A conceptualist from every angle, the Gothenburg native left Sweden for Seattle in 2005 before settling in Brooklyn in 2010. Her breadth of work engages urgency, high-level improvising and layered, cinematic orchestration; her artistry, an earnest and actionable desire to collaborate with multimodal artists and the changing world around her.
A lifelong scholar, Elsa approaches each new project with curiosity and inquiry. She allows kernels of an idea to alter and develop her perspective. Her openness and refinement have prompted collaboration — often leading to recordings — with a roster of visionaries, including Jon Cowherd, Chris Morrissey, Karl Berger, Robert Dick, Jamie Baum, Jessica Lurie, Rodrigo Recabarren, Marty Kenney, Santiago Leibson, Mark Ferber, Sebastian Noelle, Tina Raymond, Emma Dayhuff, the CMS improvisers Orchestra, Vinny Golia, Brad Shepik, Jovino Santos Neto, Chuck Deardorf, Jim Knapp and Bill Frisell through the CMA Performance Plus grant with Dawn Clement.
In 2022, Elsa issued Atlas of Sound - Coast Redwoods, the first in a series of trio releases inspired by human connection to locations of the natural world. Before entering the studio, she spends time communing with each location, learning from its environment and ecosystem, to draw inspiration for each composition plus the recording as a whole. “Because of the abstraction of instrumental music, what I put out into the world doesn’t belong to me anymore,” she says. “It belongs to the listener. That doesn’t mean that all of the thought and all of the processing and all of the growth…everything that goes into creating art is gone. It just means that it’s taking on its own life.” In fall 2024 she’s poised to issue Project Oasis, the second Atlas of Sound release, researched in Patagonia.
