Following her interest in sound and collective listening, her current home in the circumpolar north, is frequented by friends and collaborators as sanctuary, studio and conduit. With the potential of sound itself being a temporary, immersive, shared space, she works with a series of field recordings and compositions from her nomadic studio, that intimately reflects selected places and moods. Her current live sets are intuitive compositions, layering sound as live collages, with the aim to exercise sonic dialogues that might entangle in the ecologies of the vast landscapes of within. A similar approach is guiding the selection of records and sounds presented in her DJ sets, mix tapes and radioshows. Following «Dybden», a shared 12" with DJ Sotofett released on WANIA (2016), and the two LP´s UDU and AVAV produced with Psykovarius put out by Sex Tags Amfibia, her most current solo compositions can be found on «Garden of Feelings», an LP also inaugurating her own label «In the Neighborhood of the Sun, the Moon and the Stars». More of her music and mixtapes have been published by the labels Good Morning Tapes, Vaagner and Holuzam. NEWS: -- Vera Dvale - Of Air and Water, Limited edition mixtape, Holuzam, 2022 "We navigate a delicate sonic grid, immersed in what could be compared to an Ocean Of Sound. But this is not functional listening, much less decorative. It's the mood of one person expressed through sound. Actual sensory / sensual experiences recorded on location and mixed into an intimate narrative featuring other, outer, field recordings, intense, celestial voices, Vera Dvale's original music, as well as compositions from other artists. A personal flow is communicated to the listener from a coast in the deep North, allowing the listener a trip of the imagination. From inner world to inner world via outside space." -- Vera Dvale - Garden of Feelings (INSMS01, LP), 2021 Vera Dvale's debut solo album on own imprint is funneling in composition and sonics. Introducing and rounding off with field recordings, from East Norway's countryside and the Pacific coast of Chile, it's in the same manner as 70's psychoacoustic recordings creating "sonic silence" if played at right volume. Title track is an exceeding travel of overtones and presence played on the church organ of Sørfinnset Chapel in North of Norway, feverish and beautiful. The bass rich and synthetically warm "Dove Organ" is outernationally spacious and time consuming, with recordings of ancient melting ice from Spitsbergen. As made for, and by, time & sound. Text by Fettdistro Garden of Feelings inagurates the new imprint In the Neighborhood of the Sun the Moon and the Stars (INSMS). -- Vera Dvale - Music is Kinship (GMT32), 2020 Much like the landscapes on the islands in the north where Vera Dvale lives, ’Music is Kinship' invocates a space where time and mind stand still, drawing the listener into a solitary moment with all that is beautiful in nature - allowing for a rare opportunity of contemplation, inner reflection and centeredness. These delicate and carefully considered loops, combined with a focus on length, slowly change and evolve across the duration of the tape, evoking different emotional states of mind, just like the ever changing temperatures and weather of the northern region. Though power of this sound collage is not just limited to those specific lands and waters, 'Music is Kinship' is of those rare recordings that provoke and create a sense of presence no matter where you are in the world. Magnifying the beauty and sounds that lay in front of us every moment of the day, though perhaps many of us often take for granted and forget to appreciate....Stillness Speaks. Text by Good Morning Tapes -- Vera Dvale & Psykovarius release «AVAV» (LP), Sex Tags AMFIBIA, April 2019. 'Following up 2017's album "Udu" this is slow and powerful – with its set narration, but generous space and time, a room for imagination can cautiously be kept. A-side is direct, with generous intro's and endings, dense but with a light sonic specter, and a balance between the atonal & harmonious. B-side has darker undertones, being less framed it's more earthy and cosmic at the same time. Non rhythmic but all contrasting elements are here inseparable in sound and arrangement, from beginning till end, like a sonic tide.' -- Vera Dvale contributes with «Võttev» on the new compilation VAK10 | VA - The Warmest Hum. '«Võttev» by Vera Dvale is the final piece of «The Warmest Hum» and also the longest. It’s a rather minimalist composition based around a muffled low droning sound and flanged mid frequency pulsations that are filtered as well. Quite an odd piece to end with but it’s intriguing and like the previous piece does have quite a spooky sound to it. It feels very alien with its strong repetition of tones and pulses combined with the very artifacted, saturated and fuzzy sound of the track which makes it sound almost like coded radio transmissions being picked up or other types of coded or indicative sound signals. Its introspective alien sound does make a bit harder to get into perhaps, but with the constant subtly shifts in sonic texture it’s definitely a great piece of out-there underground electronic music that ends this compilation quite wonderfully.'

Rather than flabbergasting this split 12" presents the core Wania sound!' -- «UDU» (LP) - Vera Dvale & Psykovarius, Sex Tags AMFIBIA, 2017 'Spaceous and oblivious FM-synthesizer based New-Age & Dark-Ambient LP collaboration by Vera Dvale & Psykovarius. Dusty cosmic sonics interfere with slow growing pads, one-hit-percussions, metalic clanks, synth-flutes, psychedelic-SPA-melodies, dark long driven drones with monophonic bass drops, deep church organs and arpeggios. Execute time to listen to fog and space.'
