Eivind Buene studied at the Norwegian Academy of Music from 1992 to 1998, and the following two years he was composer in residence with the Oslo Sinfonietta. Since 2000 he has been a freelance composer living in Oslo, collaborating with a variety of European orchestras and ensembles, including Ensemble Musikfabrik, Berlin Philharmoniker, Ensemble Intercontemporain and London Sinfonietta. He has an extensive discography, and his music has been performed at the Donaueschinger Musiktage, Centre Pompidou, Carnegie Hall and numerous international festivals. Apart from writing music for soloists, ensembles and orchestras, Buene also frequently engages in collaborations with improvising musicians, developing music in the cross-section between classical notation and improvisation. In addition to music, Buene has written critique and essays, and he made his literary debut with the novel Enmannsorkester in 2010. To date he has published three novels and two collections of essays. In the later years Buene has combined music and text in large-scale works such as Blue Mountain, for two actors and orchestra (2014) and A Posthuman Guide to the Orchestra (2018).
