Stine Janvin Motland

Vocalist Stine Janvin Motland (b. 1985) lives in Stavanger and Berlin and divides her time between experimental music, sound art and audio-visual performance. Through projects such as Fake Synthetic Music, In Labour and The Subjective Frequency Transducer, she challenges and explores the physical range of the voice as well as new performance contexts and strategies. Motland has presented her work at festivals, galleries and on stage in the USA, South America, Europe and Africa; she has released two solo recordings and has a third underway for PAN Records.
In addition to her own work, she frequently contributes as a composer and performer to a wide variety of inter-disciplinary projects. She is a member of the vocal ensemble Song Circus and the musicians’ collective Konzert Minimal; with these ensembles and as a soloist with Ensemble neoN she has performed works by composers including Cathrine Lamb, Øyvind Torvund, Antoine Beuger, Maja Ratkje, Cornelius Cardew and Ruben Sverre Gjertsen. Motland has collaborated with Øyvind Mæland since 2010, and performed the first version of Ad undas – Sci-fi-Lieder fra Nordsjøen! together with Sanae Yoshida in 2011.
