Jonas H. Sjøvaag
is a multi-talented artist and musician, working with everything from musical improvisational structures, pop music, photography, linographic and other prints, carving, digital artwork and editing, composing, drumming and web developement, to combinations of these or something completely different.

While listing David Hockney, Uta Barth, Tom Waits, Jan Garbarek, Jan Johansson and Hiroshi Sugimoto as major sources of inspiration, Sjøvaag has a unique touch and mode of expression, both in his visual work, as well as in his compositions and lyrics.

Jonas was born in München on Nov. 03, 1978, started playing classical piano at age 5. He had his solo debut with Vestfold Youth Symphony Orchestra at age 11. He started playing drums at age 10, and switched main focus to jazz drums at age 17.

Visual expression through drawing, painting, photography or other outputs has always been a big part of Sjøvaag's daily routine. An autodidact in the field, countless hours has been spent digesting books of technique, perspective, color, anatomy and art philosophy.

Juhani Silvola
I work at a high level in a wide variety of styles. My main areas of expertise are electro-acoustic contemporary music, acoustic traditional music and experimental jazz, rock and electronica. I have a masters degree in composition from the Norwegian Academy of Music, where I studied with Natasha Barrett.

My music is characterised by expressive energy and visceral impact, melodic invention and multilayered and highly detailed soundscape. I both record and mix my own music, and have a studio in downtown Oslo. I play plucked instruments, synthesizers and percussion, and have access to extremely high level musicians who play various styles and instruments.

My experience of composing for visual media has been mainly within theatre (Norwegian National Theatre) and contemporary dance. I am now expanding to write for film & tv, and I wish to meet relevant people for that purpose. I have mixed and produced many high profile albums and worked with amongst others: Highasakite, Sarah-Jane Summers, Jenny Hval, Sam Lee, Frode Haltli AvantFolk, Unni Løvlid, Splashgirl, Erlend Apneseth, Poing, Erlend Viken Trio, Sigrid Moldestad, Joachim Badenhorst, Sver, Hayden Powell and Jessica Sligter.
