Mari Kvien Brunvoll
After several years of solo concerts in Norway and Europe, Mari Kvien Brunvoll released her first album under her own name in 2012. Since 2006 her Solo project has been exclusively a live concept, and she has chosen to use live recordings exclusively to document this musical work. The distinctive, evocative, constantly surprising music ranges from a subdued acoustical expression to intense vocals and electronic sound worlds, with everything performed live in concert. Brunvoll is responsible for vocals, sampling, electronics and various instruments like zither, percussion and kalimba. The recordings made by NRK Radio, Radio NPS in Holland and Clusone Jazz Festival in Italy. The second track, "Everywhere You Go" was taken by Ricardo Villalobos and turned into what Resident Advisor described as "what might be this decade's most stunning remix". Together with Stein Urheim, Brunvoll has released to duo albums on Jazzland Rec, "Stein & Mari´s Daydream Community" (2011), "Daydream Twin (2013), and "For Individuals Facing The Terror of Cosmic Loneliness" (2015).
