Niels Munk

Niels Munk Petersen is a danish trumpet player, leading his band Fantasilaboratoriet (The Fantasy Lab). Paradoxically, the band is located completely centrally and out on the periphery of jazz. With great passion for improvisation, the project's musicians use the fundamentals of jazz properties as a ledge for a cultivation of the imagination while deviating from the norms associated with the genre. The project's drummer Jonathan Jull Ludvigsen, known for his innovative drumming in the project “Athletic Progression”, shows a modern and unique rhythmic language which draws clear threads into the universes of hip hop. Bassist Jens Mikkel Madsen has many through his project "I Think You're Awesome" years of experience in the creative and imaginative profession, and has cemented in recent years as one of the country's strongest creative forces. His musical spirit reflects one calm creature, a friend who has been taken with the Fantasy Laboratory on an adventure. Dan Hjort Jensen is a virtuoso pianist, also with many years of experience in jazz. His long-standing collaboration with frontman Niels Munk has given them a unique melodic interactions that could only occur on a strong musical and social bond, bound over many years. The fantasy laboratory is a creative space that explores the today so overlooked imagination. Motivated to invite the spiritual and practical value of art to the Fantasy Laboratory musicians and listeners into a naked, warm, honest and loving community.
