With new colours on her palette.
The vocal splendour of artist and composer
Anneli Drecker has tickled ear canals world-
wide since the late 80s when she put Norwe-
gian electronic pop on the map together with
the group Bel Canto. She is also known for her
collaboration with Röyksopp and has often
written songs with the electronic duo.
The Tromsø based artist does not shy away
from new challenges. In 2016, she performed
078
at the Bergen International Festival together
with Carte Blanche, and on her two latest solo
releases, she moves towards a more melodi-
ous soundscape where atmospheric strings
take over from danceable electronica.
In late January this year, Anneli Drecker de-
fended her artistic ph.d. at the University of
Tromsø (UiT) with the project The Modern
Ancient Voice. The goal was to learn new sing-
ing techniques, and Drecker has, among other
things, explored throat singing, overtone sing-
ing, joik and Persian and Norwegian traditional
song.
‘Now I can't put it aside. It has become part
of me, my voice and my expression. I have ac-
quired new colours for my palette’, says the
vocalist to UiT.
