Stine Janvin
Norwegian vocalist and interdisciplinary artist Stine Janvin works with the voice as a tool and as raw material. Janvin explores the potential of the voice, challenging conventions, traditions, and formats, in a sound universe that warps and bends musical genres from electronica to folk. In this podcast, we talk to Stine Janvin about needlework, about family memories and medieval stories, and about the pleasures of gossip, against the backdrop of Norway’s modern identity-building project. We also look at Janvin’s recent immersion in and updating of the liksong (sung funeral service, literally, “corpse song”) tradition from south-western Norway. In her practice, tradition, popular culture, and identity are reinterpreted, updated and stretched through multiple strategies.
