The Danish trumpeter and composer Niels Munk received great recognition and critical acclaim when he in 2021 debuted with his first project; Fantasilaboratoriet.
The title, which translates to “Laboratory of Imagination” captures the essence of the project; a process and a space of experimentation, seeking for meaning in the mysteries of undiscovered musical territories.

While staying relevant to the cultural and social context they have been placed within, Fantasilaboratoriet finds inspiration in their musical heritage. They are influenced by everything from European classical music to the American jazz and hip hop scene.

Fantasilaboratoriet always aspires to create texture-rich emotional landscapes and tell stories that move the audience. By insisting to be both in the center and in the periphery of jazz, Niels Munk harnesses tradition while focusing on the future.

Fantasilaboratoriet will release its second album “Fantasilaboratoriet Vol. 2” in 2024.
