Jacob Anderskov
Jacob Anderskov is a pianist, composer and bandleader from Copenhagen. He has released more than 25 albums as a bandleader and co-leader since his debut in 2001. His oeuvre encompasses everything from improvised works in small groups to almost thoroughly composed material for larger ensembles.
Anderskov’s music often incorporates improvisation, instant coloring, or new ways of bridging the continuum between the composed and the undefined. Among the bands he has been forming and leading are ANDERSKOV ACCIDENT, AGNOSTIC REVELATIONS, RESONANCE (formerly known as JACOB ANDERSKOV’s STRINGS PERCUSSION & PIANO), KINETICS, AIRTO MOREIRA – JACOB ANDERSKOV DUO, and PÅ DANSK (“in Danish”).
Jacob Anderskov graduated from the Rhythmic Music Conservatory, Copenhagen in 2002. He was one of the founding members of ILK Music (2003-2004), and the first ILK chairman (2004-2008). Since 2019 he is appointed Professor at Rytmisk Musikkonservatorium (RMC), Copenhagen.
