Sofia Jernberg (SE)
Sofia Jernberg is a Swedish experimental singer, composer, improviser and performer. She was born in Ethiopia. One of her deepest interests as a singer is to investigate and explore the “instrumental” possibilities of the human voice. Her singing vocabulary also includes sounds and techniques that often contradict conventional singing styles, such as non-verbal vocalisation, split tone singing, pitchless singing and distortion. As well as performing solo, Sofia Jernberg also works regularly with Fire! Orchestra, The End (Kjetil Møster, Mats Gustafsson, Anders Hana, Greg Saunier, Jernberg), in a duo with Mette Rasmussen and in a duo with Alexander Hawkins.
