Jenny Berger Myhre
Jenny Berger Myhre is a multidisciplinary artist working with sound, video and photography. Her work explores and exposes the personal in an honest and curious manner.
Her music is created from field recordings, fragments of melodies, computer generated sequences, modular synths and lo-fi electronics — resulting in soundscapes with references to both the electro-acoustic tradition as well as experimental pop music.
She seeks to remove the expectations of virtuous musical gestures by focusing on the sounds in themselves, and the mental images they produce in us, inspired by listening as a relational act — a way to connect to the world and to other beings.
Jenny's work revolves around personal documentation and archives, intimacy, memory, reality and re-contextualisation. Since the release of her debut album Lint in 2017, she has been working with musician and novelist Jenny Hval, contributing to, and touring with the performance The Practice of Love throughout 2019. In 2019 she premiered the commissioned piece Notas y Notas y Notas... created for Borealis - en festival for eksperimentell musikk in collaboration with video artist Manuela de Laborde. The piece was developed during a residency in Mexico City and was shown in its early stage at El Nicho festival in 2018, before its world premiere at Borealis in March 2019. In 2020, she premiered her first piece for radio, named Here Is Always Somewhere Else. In 2021 she premiered two public space music compositions: Chidoribashi for Spikersuppa Lydgalleri, and Music for Swimming for Borealis. In 2021 she received the Norwegian Arts Council’s work grant for young artists.
In July 2022 Here is always somewhere else is released on Breton Cassette.
Jenny is also curating F/eks - a concert series for electronic music and experimental pop in Oslo. (2025)
