Juhani Silvola

Juhani Silvola is a composer, musician and producer working across multiple genres and disciplines. He has a master’s degree from the Norwegian Academy of Music, where he studied electroacoustic music with Natasha Barrett. Silvola’s music often explores the themes of post-humanism, mediated nature and virtual reality, and draws from the rich history of electronic and experimental music, resounding with traces of French electro-acoustic music, Japanese harsh-noise, Finnish minimal techno and C20th chamber music. He has worked with everything from acoustic folk to free improv, from doom to sound art, and is a sought-after performer, producer and mixing engineer. He has released three critically acclaimed solo-albums, two highly successful and forward-thinking folk-music albums with the violinist Sarah-Jane Summers, and produced and mixed albums for pop-bands such as Highasakite. He currently plays with Sarah-Jane Summers, Frode Haltli Avant Folk, The SISKIN Quartet and Sjøvaag & Silvola, and has worked with, among others, Splashgirl, Sam Lee, Adjagas, Erlend Viken Trio, Erlend Apneseth, Sigrid Moldestad, Unni Løvlid, Jenny Hval & Jessica Sligter.
