lives and works  in Oslo, Norway.


Jenny is a musician with a transmedial artistic practice, unfolding as sound installations, radio works, videos, photography and performance. Her art revolves around personal documentation, intimacy, memory, dreaming and speculations.


As a performer, Jenny strives to make a space for shared listening, removing the expectations of virtuous musical gestures by focusing on the sounds and the mental images they produce in us. Her music, videos and images come from gathering and collecting — field recordings, conversations, personal moments and family archives. The seemingly private is displayed in her work not as a confrontational act, but as a vulnerable and empathetic one.


Jenny is a close collaborator with many other artists across disciplines, most notably musician and novelist Jenny Hval. They have worked together since 2016, on music videos, visuals and live performances, touring in Europe, the UK and the US. 


Recent works include the art installation Lucida with Verdensteatret (2026) at Dikemarkfestivalen, the composition Writing in Water, Singing the Clouds (2026), the album You could totally be next to me (2025) in collaboration with Opuntia (MX), the audiovisual concert Phloem Sap (2025) with Niklas Adam commisioned by BEK, Havgaver (2025) with Anja Lauvdal at Henie Onstad Art Center, the sound installation Shifting shapes of cloud (2024) for Skaftfell Art Center (IS), performance and sound installation for Paper notes and pinecones (2024) by Laura Cemin at HAM, Helsinki, and the performance I want to be a machine (2024) with Jenny Hval, premiered at Henie Onstad.


Jenny has made commissions for festivals like Borealis (Bergen), Insomnia (Tromsø) and Skanu Mezs (Riga, LT), Radiophrenia (Glasgow), Only Connect (Oslo), and performed in places like The Barbican, the ICA and Café OTO (London), Muziekgebouw (Amsterdam), Munchmuseet (Oslo), Primavera festival (Barcelona), Rewire festival (Den Haag), Kampnagel (Hamburg), Constellation (Chicago), Elsewhere (NY), Lodge Room (LA), etc. 


In 2021, 2023 and 2024 she received the Norwegian Arts Council’s working grant for young artists


Jenny is also curating F/eks - a concert series for electronic music and experimental pop in Oslo.

REVIEWS

You Could Totally Be Next To Me in Klassekampen (NO)


You Could Totally Be Next To Me on I Care If You Listen (US):

"Like a true friendship, this sonic collaboration traverses wild and wonderful emotional terrain [...] You could totally be next to me is an inspiring and glowing addition to the magical vault of eternal, illuminating artist friendships.


Flutter Ridder on Brainwashed: 

"[...] a gorgeously wistful organ motif dreamily evokes something best described as “a bittersweet love theme for a gently hallucinatory carnival.” It is an absolutely sublime piece of music from start to finish, but it also transcends mere beauty through an inspired host of cool and unpredictable harmonies, hesitations, stumbles, and textures."


Review of Here Is Always Somewhere Else at Attn:Magazine (UK):

"One familiar presence within Berger Myhre’s music are these little loops of pointillistic chimes (...) which nestle small acts of repetition within a system that never seems to repeat. They encapsulate the contradictions of passing time, with our holistic movement into tomorrow adorned by detours into the past, deja vu and hours vanished to daydreaming or dropped memories."


Review of Lint at Variable Character (DE)
"Each of the eight pieces is a tribute to the moment. Jenny Berger Myhre gives them a new context that is so different from the original one - and yet: it feels right, the feeling of intimate openness remains. A wonderful album."

Interview and write-up at Soup Of The Month (IT)
"We were struck by the freshness, the sincerity and the footprints of humanity present in this album."

I'd love to hear from you!
