About Phthalo:

Over the years, she has developed her very own eclectic style and played across Europe. She has 9 Gaffa Award nominations and has remixed Laurie Anderson, Austra and Else Marie Pade. Her music is featured in The L Word. And then Phtalo, via The Lake Radio, has its own podcast My House In Your Haus, about electronic music.
About the music:
Under Heidi Mortenson’s non-binary artist name Phtalo, you find a carefully selected machine park of synth, glitch and vocals. Phtalo distills an experimental approach, of dynamic sound and versatile composition, into breathtaking works strung between detailed tapestries of sound and gesturing electronica. Like Phtalo’s gender-nonconforming identity, the music is quick to take new forms while keeping the core intact. In the music, Phtalo invites us on a journey that lets us board and face the unexpected.
