RØYENG, Marthe

Marthe is a composer, performer and lyricist working within the fields of contemporary music, popular music, theatre and dance. Her work as a contemporary composer alternates between acoustic chamber music and the realisation of musical ideas through an expanded concept of composition with elements drawn from visual theatre and visual art. She has worked on combining sonic materials with video with animated drawings, moving scenography, sculpture, lighting, choreographed movements for musicians, and puppetry.

Marthe studied Composition at the Norwegian Academy of Music (2016-2021) and writes acoustic and electroacoustic music for solo performers, chamber groups, large ensembles and choir. She also holds a BA in Musicology from the University of Oslo and Goldsmiths, University of London. Her works have been performed by Oslo String Quartet, asamisimasa, Pinquins and Damkapellet, among others. As a singer-songwriter she has released the album "Reach" (2019, Oslo Session Recordings) produced by Even Ormestad, and the EP “No One” (2017, Groundling) produced by Thomas Helland (Thom Hell) featuring musicians Olaf Olsen and Ole-Henrik Moe.
