Dans les arbres have released two critically acclaimed albums on the coveted record label ECM and have performed at notable contemporary music and jazz festivals around the world. Parallel to their quartet work, they have collaborated with music luminaries including Jim O’Rourke, Otomo Yoshihide and Yumio Tanaka. In 2015 they performed “About Nature” in the Norwegian Opera House with Oslo Sinfonietta for the Ultima Festival. In that same year, they were nominated for the Nordic Council Music Prize.
