Maja Ratkje

Brief introduction

Composer of orchestral works, composer of electroacoustic works, opera performer, free improviser and experimental electronica artist: Maja Ratkje was able claim all these titles before her 30th birthday. Maja Solveig Kjelstrup Ratkje has studied composition at the Norwegian State Academy of Music in the early to mid-'90s. Later she works with the ensemble SPUNK and has worked with Lasse Marhaug, Gino Robair, Masami Akita (Merzbow). Her experimental singing has been compared to Jaap Blonk and Phil Minton, although her use of electronics and theremin in her performances set her apart. Ratkje has also performed a chamber opera by Dagfinn Rosnes, especially written for her voice, among many other things such as Icelandic film music by Hjalmar Ragnarsson.

简   介

管弦乐作曲家，电声乐作曲家，歌剧演员，即兴和实验电子艺术家，所有这些称号都符合不到30岁的Maja Ratkje。Maja Solveig Kjelstrup Ratkje在1990年代中期以前在挪威音乐学院学习作曲。后来她与SPUNK乐队以及Lasse Marhaug, Gino Robair, Masami Akita(Merzbow的成员)合作。她那实验色彩的歌唱常令人想起Jaap Blonk 和 Phil Minton，但电子乐和电子琴的使用和她们不同。Ratkje还出演过Dagfinn Rosnes专为她度身定造的室内歌剧，另外也参与过Hjalmar Ragnarsson制作的冰岛电影音乐。
