Bio

Aron Dahl is a Norwegian composer, filmmaker and songwriter based in Oslo. His work moves between song, film, chamber music and audiovisual installation, consistently exploring themes of identity, queerness, transformation and the body.

His second solo album Moth/Flame (Abstract Tits / The Orchard, 2024) — described by Rolling Stone as "Syd Barrett at Berghain" — follows his debut Loosening Orion's Belt (2018), awarded by the Danish Arts Council as one of the ten most innovative releases of the year. As a composer he has received commissions from Ny Musikk, Borealis Festival, Klang Festival and Organ Sound Art Festival, and his work has been performed at Nordic Music Days, Ultima and New Now Festival. His song cycle Frankenstein's Mother (2024), co-written and performed with composer Mija Milovic, premiered at Organ Sound Art Festival in Copenhagen.

As a filmmaker, Dahl holds a double MFA in Film Directing and Music Composition from California Institute of the Arts, supported by a Fulbright Fellowship. His graduation film Invisible Boy (2022) premiered at REDCat, Los Angeles. He is currently developing The Fruit and the Lips, a ten-episode autofictional series, with support from the Norwegian Film Institute (NFI NEO).

He has toured extensively in Europe, Japan, North America and Australia, and his music has been featured in Rolling Stone, The Wire, Politiken, Blikk and Ballade.
