Øyvind Brandtsegg

Øyvind Brandtsegg is a composer and musician. His field of interest lies in the use of compositional techniques for improvisation. This has led to the design of custom musical instruments with computers and sensor technology. Musical knowledge or intelligence is implemented as part of the computer instrument, this is sometimes referred to as Compositionally Enabled Instruments. Sound installations have a natural place in his work, and he views an installation as an autonomous musical instrument. Øyvind has performed with the groups Krøyt and Motorpsycho throughout Europe. He has written music for interactive dance, theatre and TV, in addition to the writing of compositional frameworks for improvisation and composition for sound installation.

Emailed Øyvind Brandtsegg today, 9th July. With a keen interest in using sensor technology and computers to create sound, and being a vibraphone player, we hope he may have plenty of suggestions or advice for us. Hope to hear from him soon.
