"Band Ane"
is Ane Østergaard, born 1983. Her music is known for being meandering, anarchistic and extremely melodic, full of life and atmosphere. Enigmatically timeless. Wildly idiosyncratic and highly imaginative.
Ane Østergaard’s music is suspended in an open space best defined by the genres: Ambient / Musique Concrète / Pop / Avantgarde.
Ane has the uncanny ability to compose electronic music that has so much warmth and presence that the listener gets the sensation of literally touching and smelling the music. Her music aspires and flourishes with involved listening, and the attentive immersion into the sonic material affords a unique connection between composer and listener.
Her project is a deep and personal examination of how we see ourselves reflected in sounds, and a discovery of how these sounds can be reflected back to us in the course of a piece of music.
The physical surroundings are very important to Ane's creative process. For her last record in 2009 - she used lots of recordings of people she had met. But recently it is more about interpreting the places where she makes music, and what the "secret story" behind the given place could be. This has her leave her usual surroundings and go out and build something new, or find an abandoned house or go anywhere else that may inspire her: a new project is a new path towards a new inspiration.
Besides the wide range of concerts/festivals she performed, she also work within other forms like; installations, multi-channel speaker set-ups, audio-walks, theater/performance-art, films, and radio sound-designs.
Ane Østergaard medvirker desuden i undervisningsmaterialet Fem spor i ny dansk musik - det elektroniske spor
