Freeform pianist and electronic musician Anja Lauvdal (born 1987) has an inimitable ability to conjure multiple sonic moods, reflecting on the fragility of the natural world while exhibiting a positive stillness.

She's an established force on the Norwegian scene, with her playful and textural playing running the All Ears festival and collaborating with Jenny Hval, Hamid Drake and William Parker, among others.

‘From A Story Now Lost,’ marked her first solo album. The album was produced by Berlin-based electronic musician Laurel Halo. In July she released ‘Farewell to Faraway Friends’, a collection of improvisations on Wurlitzer. She has written commissioned works for Next Festival Bratislava/INA GRM, Fosseprisen, Henie Onstad Kunstsenter & Ultima.
