Freeform pianist and electronic musician Anja Lauvdal (born 1987) has an inimitable ability to conjure multiple sonic moods, reflecting on the fragility of the natural world while exhibiting a positive stillness. She’s an established force on the Norwegian scene, with her playful and textural playing running the All Ears festival and collaborating with Jenny Hval, Hamid Drake and William Parker, among others. ‘From A Story Now Lost,’ marked her first solo album. The album was produced by Berlin-based electronic musician Laurel Halo. In July she released ‘Farewell to Faraway Friends’, a collection of improvisations on Wurlitzer.
Anja Lauvdal is an artist of the SHAPE+ platform for innovative music and interdisciplinary art, co-funded by the European Union and Pro Helvetia.
