JENNY BERGER MYHRE
b. 1991
lives in Oslo, Norway.
Jenny 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 performances “The Practice of Love” throughout 2019, "Classic Objects" in 2022-2023, "I want to be a machine" in 2023-2024, and "Iris Silver Mist" in 2025-2026.
In 2019 Jenny 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. 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 July 2022 Here is always somewhere else was released on Breton Cassette. She has since done commissioned work for festivals like Insomnia (Tromsø), Radiophrenia (Glasgow), Skanu Mezs (Riga), OnlyConnect (Oslo), and BEK symposium (Bergen), released the album Interstitial with Oh Noh No and F.S.Blumm, Flutter Ridder with Espen Friberg, and You could totally be next to me with Opuntia.
In 2021, 2023 and 2024 she received the Norwegian Arts Council’s work grant for young artists.
Jenny is also curating F/eks - a concert series for electronic music and experimental pop in Oslo.

Review of Here Is Always Somewhere Else at Attn:Magazine (UK):
Review of Lint at Variable Character (DE)
"Each of the eight pieces is a tribute to the moment. Jenny Berger Myhre gives them a new context that is so different from the original one - and yet: it feels right, the feeling of intimate openness remains. A wonderful album."
Interview and write-up at Soup Of The Month (IT)
"We were struck by the freshness, the sincerity and the footprints of humanity present in this album."
