Pinquins is Jennifer Torrence, Sigrun Rogstad Gomnæs and Ane Marthe Sørlien Holen.
An Oslo-based experimental music trio.
Over their 15-year existence Pinquins has created numerous works with composers, instrument builders, scenographers, and diverse musicians spanning experimental genres from free improvisation to noise music. In particular, the group’s artistic practice focuses on objects, body, and voice to create works that challenge notions of genre and the role of the performer.
Pinquins has been presented at festivals such as Donaueschingen, Ultima, Spor, Nordic Music Days, Sound of Stockholm, and Only Connect, among others. At Borealis Festival 2023 they presented INTERVALL, their first major composition with object-artist Kjersti Alm Eriksen. In 2023 they also established an ongoing band project with performer-composers Jessie Marino and Inga Margrete Aas.
