I Am An Instrument is a Copenhagen-based improvised music collective formed in 2019, whose members first found each other at the Winterjazz Festival at Jazzhus Montmartre in 2018. The ensemble features Morten McCoy, Jonathan Bremer, Steven Jess Borth II (CHLLNGR), Stunn Gunn, Johannes Wamberg, and percussionist Eliel Lazo. Their performances are 100% improvised — no planning or agreements are made before concerts except for who starts the song — resulting in music that leans toward jazz with a dub influence. Closely related to the Raske Plader and Livity Music scenes, I Am An Instrument has built a devoted following through their spontaneous and deeply collaborative approach. Their discography includes four albums, culminating in "Receive" — a fully improvised fourth record that showcases the collective's remarkable ability to create cohesive, elegant, and melodic music in the moment.
