I, Jonas Sjøvaag hold a masters degree in improvisational music from the Academy of Music, in Oslo, finished in 2008. Since then I have been a professional musician in several ensembles, most notably Eple Trio, apart from many projects initiated by myself, either as a solo artist or as a performer with others. My discography counts 20+ releases.  I have also worked with Norwegian saxophonist Karl Seglem, and I'm currently a PhD-fellow at the University of Agder. 

Currently, my main interest is to research and understand the depths of human/machine-collaboration, primarily through the creation of various musical assets like self-generating audio systems, digitized collaborators, and the philosophical aspect attached to it. 

I have my own record label (Shipwreckords), do recording, mix and mastering in my studio in Oslo (Færder Audio), have been a graphic designer and visual artist for years, with well over 100 album covers made so far (Supremeconnection.no). I own and operate Weblance AS, an IT firm working towards the music and culture industry.

I have also been working as a consultant for institutions within the arts and culture sectors for many years. My main occupation has been teaching students and faculty staff, leading seminars, workshops and individual classes, and creating exposition designs and -frameworks for research fellows, faculty staff and universities.
