Stavanger born, Berlin based vocalist Stine Janvin works with experimental music, sound and audiovisual performance. Through a diversity of projects such as the live radio play In Labour, the performative installation The Subjective Frequency Transducer, field recording adaptations duo Native Instrument, alter ego Stine II and her latest solo project Fake Synthetic Music, she explores and challenges the physical features of the voice, the acoustics of her external/internal surroundings, and new performance strategies.
Alongside her own work, Janvin is a performer of contemporary music, and contributes as a composer and performer in a number of interdisciplinary projects, such as the performance Prelude (Janvin Motland/Sickle/Leguay). Her interest in the ambiguous and unrecognizable qualities of the voice pushes her to constantly search for new ways to expand her vocal repertoire. Her recent work significantly involves imitation and abstract storytelling through sound collages inspired by a variety of genres and traditions of electronic music, sound poetry, folk music and languages of various peoples, birds and animals. Recent presentation of works include Berlin Atonal, Météo Festival, Mulhouse; NMASS, Austin TX; Rokolectiv, Bucharest, CTM festival, Berlin, Issue Project Room, NYC.
