Bente Leiknes Thorsen's music brings together everyday sounds and instrumental poetry, politics and the private, musical instrument and human voice. Her use of voice often emerges as the very interface or bridge between the musical and the social. Voices occur in her music in many forms: as classically trained singing, in recordings of children's voices, when instrumentalists are asked to sing while playing or when the composer herself comments on her own musical sequences.
