Ingri Høyland
The Norwegian composer and interdisciplinary artist Ingri Høyland works at the intersection of sound, text, and form—creating immersive musical worlds where voice, language, and electronic textures dissolve into one another. With a background from the Rhythmic Music Conservatory in Copenhagen, she draws on a diverse practice that includes writing, sculpture, and filmmaking to build compositions that invite listeners into shifting atmospheres of shape, sensation, and story.
At ALTER 2025, Høyland presents pieces from Duvet, her forthcoming collaborative album with Ida Urd, set for release in September. The music is rooted in repetition and mood, where subtle electronics and fragmented vocals create porous boundaries between body and imagination—dwelling in spaces that feel both interior and expansive.
In recent years, Høyland has created commissioned works for institutions such as Gong Tomorrow, The National Gallery of Denmark, CPH:DOX, and the Organ Sound Art Festival, and has performed widely across Scandinavia, Europe, and Japan. Her work consistently reflects a deep commitment to interdisciplinary creation and an intuitive exploration of sound as both medium and material.
