Industrial Noise by Count Pukebeard & The Poppy Seeds!

As part of the sound art collective BallongMagasinet (1996 – 2006), starting off at the Oslo feminist radio radiOrakel, Færøy and Jørgensen became vital contributors to the emerging Nordic sound art scene of the 90´s, initating sound and radio productions involving artists, composers, writers etc. The last years working as a duo, they have worked in formates such as radio programs, podcasts, and live radio happenings, all based in their interests concerning human coexistence. Their work often evolves from meeting people in their environment, and processing this into impressionistic portraits and documentary collages composed using voices and concrete sound.  Færøy/Jørgensen has done productions in cooperation with National Broadcastings of Norway and Sweden, Konsthall C Stockholm, Tenthaus Oslo, Notam, Galleri F15, among other art institutions of Norway. Søssa Jørgensen b. 1968, is based in Øvre Ringstad farm. She works in many formats, with anchor points in video, performance and sound. She is one of the artists behind the initiative Sørfinnset skole/ the north land, and was recently co-curating the exhibition-project Skiptvet Agricultural Stories at Gallery F15, Moss. Yngvild Færøy b. 1970, works with drawing and is active as a writer, curator and project manager for public art projects for Public Art Norway (KORO) and the City of Oslo.
