Building Instrument

Biography

Building Instrument consists of Mari Kvien Brunvoll (vocals, live sampling and electronics, percussion, zither), Øyvind Hegg-Lunde (drums, percussion) and Åsmund Weltzien (synthesizer, electronics). The trio exists in a sort of fantasy-filled no man’s land between electronica, organic pop and something more mystical and fantastic. They had already built a solid fan base before they released their debut record to rave reviews in 2014. On their second album, "Kem Som Kan Å Leve” (2016), their mode of expression is deeper and more dreamlike, the soundscape is broader and more substantial, and their music is still extremely addictive and strangely catchy. With a mix of jazz / folk / improvisation music, these three Norwegian musicians have found their very own unique style.   In 2025 Building Instrument returns with new sounds full of dreamy pop hooks, sparkling synth textures and beguiling lyrics about the moon, spirit, animals and the experience of simply being alive. As the pop sensibility is filtered through an aesthetic of playful experiment, the gorgeous, brightly hued tunes and seductively shiny textures share house room with avant-garde sound-art. If you want to hear delicious ear candy intersected by spooky instrumental vignettes or a brief snippet of a car engine stalling, here’s where to find it. The result is a compulsively listenable album whose deceptively poppy surface unpeels to reveal a whole underworld of intensely-worked immersive improvisation.
