"The first time I experienced a large multichannel sound system, it felt like I could finally breathe after being in a space without air. That sensation is what I strive to capture in my music."
b. 1995 - Tromsø, Norway/Stockholm, Sweden
I am a
composer, artist, and digital orchestra conductor. In my work I combine
electronics, electroacoustics and 3D sound technology to create immersive audio
experiences. My compositions are characterized by evocative and contrasting
soundscapes, exploring the transformative impact of manipulating and
spatializing sound on the perception of space. Drawing inspiration from Arctic
nature, I delve into social phenomena through the lens of the Arctic gaze,
often incorporating field recordings into my compositions.
My work has
quickly gained recognition, leading to presentations at venues across Europe,
including Inkonst in Malmö, Palace of the Grand Dukes in Vilnius, Sentralen in
Oslo, Insomnia Festival, 3:e Våningen in Göteborg, and Verona Resona. I
frequently engage in collaborative projects and have partnered with various
artists, such as Per Martinsen, Mental Overdrive, Arve Henriksen, and Toby
Kassell, a dancer and choreographer.
In 2023 I
got the prestigeous title Emerging Artist from the Arctic Arts Festival and was
also electected to be part of KUPP 2.2. KUPP is a development program for
young, promising composers under the age of 35.
Ambisonics is a full-sphere surround sound format. It covers sound sources around, above and below the listener. Contrasting other multichannel surround formats, it allows audio production and playback without using the traditional channel-based methodology. This enables reproduction on any number of speakers in different configurations.
