Arve Henriksen (born 22 March 1968
Stranda,
Norway) is a
Norwegian trumpet player, renowned for his distinctive, flute-like sound on the trumpet, inspired by the sound of the Japanese
shakuhachi flute. He also sings; his unique wordless vocalising was central to
Chiaroscuro, where he often sings in a soprano's range. The control over his
head voice is such that in "Opening Image" he could quite easily be mistaken for a woman.
