Andvake is an ancient Norwegian word of Old Norse origin. While it can be translated as insomnia, it generally describes a state of wakefulness characterized by heightened awareness. Led by guitarist and composer Stefano Boggiani, the quintet brings together some of the most active young musicians in Norway’s thriving music scene. The group performs original compositions inspired by the concept of contrast: determined and indeterminate, sparse and dense, order and chaos. Atonal and rhythmic structures give way to free improvisation and interplay. Their debut album was released on Losen Records in November 2025. Following several performances in Norway, the quintet is currently on tour in Italy for the first time.
