Christian Winther

Christian Winther is a Norwegian experimental musician and composer known for his atmospheric, genre-blurring soundscapes that meld ambient textures, field recordings, and minimalist electronica. Based in Oslo, he’s become a quiet force in Norway’s avant-garde music scene, often collaborating with visual artists and fellow experimental musicians. His work—like the hypnotic *Sculptures From Under the City Ice* or the aquatic-themed *Underwater Child*—feels both introspective and cinematic, as if sound-tracking imaginary documentaries about frozen fjords or hidden ecosystems. Tracks like *Urfuglen* and *The Clearing* showcase his knack for weaving organic instrumentation (think muted pianos, wind-brushed strings) with glitchy electronic details, creating music that’s equally cozy and unsettling. A frequent collaborator with artists like Bendik Baksaas (who remixed his *Looking Up*), Winther’s releases often land on niche experimental labels, appealing to listeners who dig everything from Brian Eno’s ambient works to the Nordic surrealism of artists like Biosphere. His music feels like a secret you’d find on a forgotten cassette in a cabin—equal parts mysterious and comforting.
