ABOUT

The relationship between the human race and nature, storytelling, and exploration of materials are some of the inspirations that shape the works of the Norwegian interdisciplinary composer Tine Surel Lange (b. 1989, Vesterålen, Norway). Her works have been presented around the globe. Based in Lofoten, Northern Norway, she is currently exploring how visual materials and movements can be interpreted sonically, and how sound can be visualised using video, light, movement, painting, and sculpture.

Surel Lange studied composition at the Norwegian Academy of Music with an exchange semester spent studying digital composition at the Lithuanian Academy of Music. Additionally, she studied sound design and sound art at Sonic College, along with studies in early music and viola da gamba at the Royal Danish Academy of Music in Copenhagen.
