Country life allowed her to immerse herself in her creative imagination – but it was only on moving to Bergen that she figured out what kind of musician she wanted to be. Writing songs, and playing an acoustic guitar, was not enough – when it came to making records, she needed to know how to do everything herself.

Three and a half years ago, enrolling on a music production degree in Bergen, Moyka “dived into the synth world”. She was in school from the moment it opened to the moment it closed, covering herself in the complex electronic landscapes of Röyksopp, Highasakite, and AURORA; Robyn, Alt J, and Son Lux. Working with Cubase and soft synths and samples, she learned how to create, blow by blow, “my own, mystical, synth-driven universe”.

“I wanted to do things myself, that was my main motivation,” she says. “I wasn’t interested in playing solos and being technical on the guitar. The synth world was something new – and being good at that gives you a lot of power for yourself, in terms of the kind of expression you want. I never started out picturing what other people might say.”
