Isungset was a percussionist playing drums in various bands for many years before his music took a sudden new direction. He explained that his interest in ice music started when he performed at a concert behind a frozen waterfall. While playing, he wondered about the sounds that could be produced from ice. 11 He then proceeded to create other instruments from ice, such as horns, harps, and trumpets. He has even crafted ice guitars, ice harps, and an ice didgeridoo. Isungset is recognized as the world's sole ice musician, creating music specifically for ice instruments. Terje refers to his ice music as 'chill-out music.'
