Norwegian electronica artist Komputergirl releases single “Lightbody”
Komputergirl (Kristin Sigvathsen) is a Norwegian artist, composer and producer, working since 2004 to develop a sound that can convey an inherent fascination for Arctic landscape, space and spirituality. By means of an eight-lane sequencer, old analog synthesizer samples and a MIDI keyboard, she has developed a distinct and cool expression extending from naive and melancholic synth pop into a more atmospheric and conceptually soundscape.
(By our Norwegian correspondent Jan Ronald Stange) Komputergirl (Kristin Sigvathsen) is a Norwegian artist, composer and producer, working since 2004 to develop a sound that can convey an inherent fascination for Arctic landscape, space and spirituality. By means of an eight-lane sequencer, old analog synthesizer samples and a MIDI keyboard, she has developed a distinct and cool expression extending from naive and melancholic synth pop into a more atmospheric and conceptually soundscape.
2015 saw the release of Komputergirl’s debut EP “Hyperborea” where she collaborated with other Norwegian electronic artists like Psykosister, Schnodig, Substaat and Kant Kino.
The single “Lightbody”, released on Komputergirls own label “Polarpop Records”, is an exhilarated fusion of futurepop, electro, new age and experimental music. With an uncompromising length of 6:36 minutes, “Lightbody” represents an unconventional, but highly dynamic and catchy radio single. “Lightbody” is the first of two singles to be released ahead of Komputergirls upcoming debut album “Polarpop”.
Written, performed and produced by Komputergirl (Kristin Sigvathsen) / mastered by Hanne Kristine Haugsand / released on Polarpop Records

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. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
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.
