Fakethias

FAKETHIAS is the rapidly evolving chimera created by Oslo-based artist and producer Mathias Humlen.

His music has been described as something that forces itself upon you, unrelenting and multifaceted, dragging you in many directions all at once. Ripped audio and personal voice notes are moulded into animated instruments and pulsating soundscapes, that are driven forward by restless and hyperbole patterns. It’s a vertiginous rendering of a skittering mind trying to harmonize with its own chaos. Since his debut in 2018, he's been nominated for the coveted equivalent to a Norwegian Grammy and brought his high-intensity sets to clubs and major festivals around Europe, including Sónar Barcelona.

In collaboration with Stockholm-based digital artist Felix Schéele he’s creating an audiovisual experience, which the two will perform live at Henie Onstad Kunstsenter.
