Inner Ear (established in 2007 in Bodø, Norway) is a Norwegian label initiated and led by the brothers and Jazz musicians, Tore Johansen and Roger Johansen. They opened "Inner Ear" to release their own music, when their former label, Gemini Records, was closed down. The name "Inner Ear" is based on "the fact that all musical creation, without exceptions, arises from the musicians own brains. They hear it by their "inner ear" before they play the music".
