Nattens inbrott (The Break of Night) is an ensemble whose music is situated between stillness and unrest, between the wild and the cultivated, between the composed and the improvised. The ensemble consists of Norwegian musicians Vilde Sandve Alnaes (violin) and Inga Margrete Aas (double bass), Swedish percussionist Erik Carlsson and pianist and composer Magnus Granberg.

The members are all active in ensembles such as Vilde & Inga and Skogen and have during the past decade collaborated with musicians, ensembles and composers such as Jennifer Walshe, Jesse Marino, Christian Wallumrød, Jürg Frey, Nate Wooley, Toshimaru Nakamura, Ko Ishikawa, Rhodri Davies, Sidsel Endresen, Apartment House and Splitter Orchester. The members of the ensemble have performed in Europe, Asia and the US at festivals and venues such as Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival (UK), Ultima (NO), Cafe OTO (UK), Edition Festival (SE), Non-Event (US), Bowerbird Foundation (US), Ftarri Music Festival (JP), MaerzMusik (DE), Borealis (NO), Splitter Music Festival (DE) and Kongsberg Jazz Festival (NO).

The debut album of Nattens inbrott, Holde Träume, kehret wieder!, was published by British record label Another Timbre in June 2024.
