Marius Igland (assistant professor in music education) is a guitarist specializing in jazz and popular music. He was born in Grimstad, Norway, in April 1989. After completing his master's thesis Music as Art - A Reflection on Experience, Function, and Meaning (UiA, 2015; supervised by Professor Knut Tønsberg), he has taught in various educational settings, including schools of music and performing arts, upper secondary school, private music schools, and higher education institutions.

Through the jazz sextet Mirage Ensemble, he released the album Memory Happens Now (LOS 128-2) in 2014, and in 2017, the guitar-based quintet URO released the album OR (LOS 159-2). Composition and improvisation are central to his music, which can be described as architectural and melodic with a sense of melancholy.

As a music researcher, he is interested in the relational nature of music and its significance for human beings. As a member of the research group Art and Young People he contributed as a chapter author to the anthology Kunstens betydning? published by Cappelen Damm Education in 2022.

Igland works as an academic coordinator in UiA's co-creation lab Art & Aesthetics in Contemporary Society within the European university alliance FORTHEM. The lab aims to create new arenas for meaningful exchange through the arts and aesthetic approaches in society.
