Bjørn Hatleskog is a London-based artist, one half of acousmatic spoken-word project Storyteller, also releasing music under the moniker Romvelope. His work is located somewhere between electro-acoustic music and sound sculptural bricolage, exploring the nature of feedback loops, noise and interference and their application via mechanical automation. He is also the curator at Surgery.Gallery, and the manager of the record label Adaadat.
