Kristin Sigvathsen, as her solo project Komputergirl, released her debut EP “Hyperborea” December 11th, launching it at her own combined birthday, launch party and debut concert in Oslo.
Since 2004, Komputergirl has explored ways to communicate her fascination with arctic landscapes, outdated technology and space, through sound. With the help of an eight track sequencer and old analogue synth samples, she has developed a distinct and chilly sound stretching from naiv and melancholic synthpop, to a more atmospheric and conceptual soundscape.
“Hyperborea” is an ice cold hommage to the Svalbard winter, the snow-covered Alps, Laika, the spacedog, and a mythical land beyond the North wind. It is also a declaration of love to Komputergirl´s most influential idols: Kraftwerk, Jean-Michel Jarre and Biosphere.

Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast.

Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
