Camille Norment Trio features artist Camille Norment on the glass harmonica, electronics and voice with musicians Vegar Vårdal on Norwegian Hardanger fiddle and Håvard Skaset on electric guitar. This unique trio of voices investigates the visceral qualities of resonance, noise, and overtone, creating music that enacts and deconstructs cultural and historical positions relevant to each of the instruments. Each of the instruments have been simultaneously revered and feared or even outlawed at various points in their histories. The sonic worlds they create resonate through a tantalising union of the instruments’ voices and their often-paradoxical cultural histories. Their performance is an organic movement between the composed and the improvised, creating a dynamic soundscape that defies a fixed genre reference. Their mysterious sonic environments hover at the meeting points of folk, rock, classical, experimental music, and more.  The Camille Norment Trio has been performing internationally since is founding in 2010.

The vocal ensemble Oslo 14 was founded in 2014 by Elin Rosseland and fourteen singers. Today, the ensemble consists of a pool of up to 20 improvising vocalists:

Gro-Marthe Dickson, Åshild Bergill Hagen, Live Foyn Friis, Petter Hauglum, Guro Eliassen Kverndokk, Hedda Hammer Myhre, Marika Schultze, Karoline Ruderaas Jerve, Sean Bell, and Bendik Sells (artistic director).

Oslo 14’s mission is to explore movement, experimentation, and improvisation. By incorporating both collective and solo improvisation elements into composed works, the ensemble aims to expand the boundaries of vocal music in choral and ensemble formats. Additionally, Oslo 14 frequently works with free improvisation, presenting several concerts each year with entirely improvised material.

Oslo 14 made its debut at nyMusikk’s Only Connect Festival in 2015, performing the commissioned work “Mass for the Witch Woman” by Susanna. Since then, the ensemble has collaborated with a wide range of Norwegian contemporary composers in developing and performing new music, including Lisa Dillan, Sofia Jernberg, Wenche Losnegård, Jessica Slighter, Ole-Henrik Giørtz, Guro Skumsnes Moe, Andreas Backer, Tone Åse, Tine Surel Lange, Eric S. Egan, and Agnes Ida Pettersen. Oslo 14 has also contributed to performances and recordings for Camille Norment’s installation at the 2015 Venice Biennale, and worked with Jøkleba for a tribute concert of John Coltrane’s A Love Supreme at the Oslo Jazz Festival the same year.

Since autumn 2021, Oslo 14 has performed at several prestigious events, including the official opening of the MUNCH museum in Oslo, the Bergen International Festival, the Tonehimmel concert series in Volda, and multiple tours across Eastern Norway. The ensemble has also premiered new works by Camille Norment, Elin Rosseland, Guro Skumsnes Moe, and Bendik Sells.
