Mirte Hartland

(The Netherlands) is singer-song poet on guitar. Juggling sung and spoken word, guitar and vocals, she explores where music and poetry reinforce each other. Solo and in collaboration with makers from other disciplines. Her work consists of a carefully composed collage of atmospheres and images with melancholic undertones. Her work deals with themes such as radical equality, queer love, the relationship between man and nature and the beauty of the everyday. From personal vulnerability, she relates to social issues. Mirte has written, created and performed at the intersection of poetry and music for venues and festivals as diverse as Oerol, Lowlands and De Parade.
