Hi there,
Busy busy busy. We've been composing new music, played at Roskilde Festival and then we've decided to say "Go fuck yourself" to Spotify. (And we think you should do the same)
🌊 CARRIER
On September 14 we’ll be premiering our orchestral piece CARRIER featuring Århus Sinfonietta and Maya SB.
It’s our second time composing for Sinfonietta, but this time with a larger ensemble: 19 musicians including SVIN. And we’re pretty damn excited.
Visual artist Maya SB is creating both the visuals and lighting design. If you haven’t already seen her work, we highly recommend checking it out. This will be a truly immersive experience.
We’ve spent years developing this project and the last 10 months composing the music. Performing it at VEGA in Copenhagen on September 14th is a dream come true.

🎪 Roskilde Festival
Due to a last-minute cancellation by another act, our side project BISSESVINET was invited to play at Roskilde Festival, and what a ride it was.
Playing that stage on short notice was intense and beautiful. We loved every moment of it. Several people told us it was the best performance on Roskilde! (No shit!)
🎧 Fuck Spotify
We’ve recently decided to remove all our music from Spotify.
If you haven’t heard, Spotify’s CEO, Daniel Ek, (a very creepy guy) recently invested 600 million euros in AI military tech. A quick Google search will give you all the details, but the bottom line is this: we don’t want the pennies we earn from streaming to help fund warfare. That’s not why we started making music.
For a long time, we’ve been frustrated with how little artists are paid per stream on Spotify, and this was the final straw.
We are proud to be part of a growing movement leaving this platform, that now also are promoting AI bands other weird stuff.
Do you really want to support that??
We suggest buying our music on Bandcamp or streaming via Tidal or Apple Music, which pay almost three times more per stream than Spotify. We are in the process of uploading our music to Sleeve here. That means you will be able to listen to our music on Sleeve for only 15 DKK a month.
