Introduction


Artist, composer and singer Tine Louise Kortermand’s work is a cross-over between art and music.

Kortermands projects are a hybrid between performance art, radio theatre, video installation, concret music and
spherical voice works. She experiments with mixing alternative trends in both the art world and the music world; from the poetic to the raw, from pop culture to innovative expressions.

In her compositions, she takes as a starting point in the genre of “concrete music” - sampling sounds from everyday life and turning them into music - with references to Ambient and Industrial.

The lyrics are often written, using as a source interviews she has done with selected people. In the lyrics she examines the problems of everyday life and issues of modern lifestyle. The form and content of Kortermand’s music and singing is always driven by the catchy story - storytelling and issues of life being the principal elements of her work.
Between the humorous and the serious, and with a starting point in lives lived, she questions structures of society, traditions, behavioural patterns and sexual identity.

In order to bring the art closer to people’s everyday lives, Kortermand often invites the audience to play a more active role in the artpiece. One method being through the introduction of the art experience in non-traditional public spaces. For this work she have recieved scholarships and grants ... among others she was given the three-year scholarship from the State Denmark - Toneart Music for Rytmic Music (2010-2013).

Besides her own artwork, she has organised several projects and conferences. She has established cross-cultural organisations, worked as an art critic and freelances developing concepts and socially beneficial cultural projects.
She's been doing projects for The 2. Radio, Center for Art and Science, Odense International Musictheatre,
Naturama – nature historic museum, churches, Culture Region Funen and Odense municipality.

Kortermand performs and exhibits both in Denmark and abroad in a variety of venues including kunsthalls, museums, galleries, public spaces, project spaces, festivals and on the music scene. Besides that she has published her songs in both Japan and the USA with the duo RUMSKIB.
