About Patrick Shaw Iversen

Patrick Shaw Iversen’s playing spans classical, jazz, improvised, and traditional music. He trained first in Western classical music. An early interest in the flute music of West Java led him to study extensively in Bandung. These experiences shaped a new way of thinking about music that he brings to his playing. His work has led to commissions from Oslo World, Arts Council England, and CODA Oslo International Dance Festival.

Alongside this, he explores electronics and live sampling. He is driven by a desire to create a modern, expanded sound for the flute. Together, these elements have established him as a true innovator of his instrument.

His passion for exploring traditional styles of music has brought him from the south-east Asia to the polar regions of the Sami people of the north. He has composed numerous scores for theatre, film and dance productions. He has been commissioned for several festivals and released and produced numerous CD productions, including 4 releases on Jazzland Rec/OK World Records.
