Ane Marthe Sørlien Holen is a Norwegian percussionist, multi-musician, one-woman-band, writer and composer. She is constantly challenging herself as an artist, seeking to extend herself as a musician/percussionist, finding new sounds, new ways of expressing herself, including voice and body as natural parts of her instrument.
Ane Marthe writes text and music, and her compositions usually combines these elements. She is also an improviser, both a soloist and in various constellations.
Her texts has been published by Minerva and Ballade, but most of them are still lying in her desk drawer.
Besides her own work she plays with Pinquins, Ensemble neoN, The Touchables and Plexus Polaire. She collaborates with artists such as Guro Skumsnes Moe, Håvard Skaset, Astrid Groseth, Jessie Marino, Inga Margrete Aas, Jean-Philippe Gross, Stéphane Garin, Thore Warland, Solveig Styve Holte, Simon Løffler, and many more.
