Sonic Transmissions North presents progressive art and music experiences in Trondheim – for a local live & an international online audience, and in collaboration with local, national and international performers. Sharing venue and poster with Stillverk 1‘s regular bill creates a potent synergy and strengthens the local community.
We will showcase artists that represent equality in gender, genre and ethnic diversity, contributing to artistic renewal and inclusion with a focus on the development of the professional improvisational music field in Trondheim.
But who are we?
In joint effort with his likeminded local enthusiasts, Ingebrigt Håker Flaten has put together a team of people who have a broad knowledge in music, administration, and media:
Coming from Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Germany, and sharing their mutual homebase in Trondheim, the collective members unite and channel their varied backgrounds and expertise in music and culture, photography and visual arts, mainstream and underground.
So, next to Ingebrigt Håker Flaten, Sonic Transmissions North consists of Mette Rasmussen and Veslemøy Narvesen (both of whom are internationally renowned musicians in jazz and experimental music with extensive experience in both booking and administration), Simen Skoe (who for several years has been active in the Norwegian festival scene and runs Øykjelykkjsetra), Juliane Schütz (who previously played and promoted shows in Germany and now infiltrates the Norwegian scene as photographer, media designer, video artist and general feel-good manager), and Catrin Johansson (who is the manager at Byscenen, one of the most important stages for music in Trondheim, and has tons of experience in organizing high-profile festivals), expanding the portfolio with a broad experience in promotion and media.

Finds inspiration in everything and then either turns it into art or guacamole.

Has two bass guitars and two cats that speak fluent Norwegian.

Simen Skoe
Conductor of the artistic mountain farm Øykjelykkjesetra.
Looks at life like as a bug on the wall, waiting for it to come to him.
When it gets close enough he reaches out, slaps out and kills it.
Or if he likes its looks, he makes a pet out of it.
