Torgunn Flaten is a many-faceted singer, songwriter and musician.
She likes almond pastry, the color green and light shattered through dewdrops and lots of snow in winter. Writing songs since her late teens, she is now eager to record and produce her own material. Early on she played the flute, and joined both classical groups and later jazz and psychedelic rock bands. Her style of music is influenced by Debussy, Satie, Joy Division, Joni Mithell, Eurythmics, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Velvet Underground, Bjork, Pink Floyd, Weather Report, Michael Franks, Billie Holiday and Cocteau Twins. Pretty much all kinds of music, tones and harmonies as long as it catches her ear...then makes a turn inside her head and comes out carrying peculiar melodies and harmonies put together in an playful way.


TORGUNN performs live as a duo, with Joar Krakevik and Torgunn Flaten. Though they are only two persons, you dont miss anything when they drag you into their sonorous, own harmonies. They appear symbiothic, etheric, organic with Joar Krakevik, "space echo" and guitar wizz, on electric guitar and effects, and Torgunn on vocal and acoustic guitar. Their music can be described as impressionistic, guitarbased, melodic with own harmonic moods, and these tunes are credible in their blend of several genres, in an available but highly personal expression.

Torgunn has collaborations with the award winning Hans-Peter Lindstrom- winner of norwegian Grammy "Spellemanns prisen" in Electronic 2007 and 2008. Torgunn fetched great reviews for her song and voice (Run 2005). See more under "Music" - Press Reviews.

In her studio at Kampen in Oslo she does recordings, producing and arranging on her songs, using different tools from wherever and whatever e.g things from the kitchen. Experiencing working as a soundengineer in films and documentaries, there is no limits, only it sounds as it can be of any use.

Torgunn has spend several years working with sound and video, making short-movies, documentary and animation- even painting and drawings.You can see her live-based music video "ICECOLD & BLUE" with animation under "Video" and at WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/TORGUNNTUNES and at "the portal and film festival arranger" HDFEST.COM
