 The interest in pelagic seabirds, arctic sound environments and coastal cultures was the reason why sound artist and composer Elin Øyen Vister, decided to travel to the Røst archipelago, in Nordland, northern Norway, in 2010 and 2011, to document how the sound environments are changing when seabird populations are declining, while simultaneously colleting  sound of a living coastal culture. This resulted in the record release Soundscape Røst - Spaces And Species Vol I, released on Leynar Recordings earlier this year.

In the wake of the release Elin Øyen Vister, clarinet player Kristine Tjøgersen, doublebass player Ola Høyer and cellist Inga Grytås Byrkjeland formed the biophonic ensemble WeDoMagic. They go in free dialogue with the recorded sounds. In the meeting between electronics, field recordings and acoustic instruments, arises a new sonorous universe, switching between the recorded and the improvised. Through intense listening to the field recordings and eachother, the musicians creates improvised music with a distinctive shape and expression.

Drivhuset - the foundation for creative music workshops - est. 1998. Works to promote the creative workshop with both compostition and improvisation and everything in between - as an artistic method in its own right, as well as a means to communicate and spread the understanding of music as a form of art. The projects are based on close collaboration between a team of music professionals/artists and groups of children, young people, students or adult amateurs. Most of the links lead to pages in Norwegian language - please don't hesitate to take direct contact if you want to know more , wants to participate or to have Drivhuset workshops in your region.
