O A K & S H A W
- is an experimental etheric electro-pop duo based in Scandinavia. Their eclectic expression ranges from low-key ballads to pulsing beats tied together by porous vocals filled with longing.
The duo consists of performing artists Kaja Mærk Egeberg (NO) and Tobias Shaw (DK) who playfully explore their time being with synths, sampler, piano and vivid lyrics. They embody a atmospheric, dark yet hopeful sound.
Their first songs were written on ukulele and a dusty pump organ in a cabin on the north west coast of Norway. Since then the music has developed into electronic landscapes where they now investigate the encounter between acoustic, analog and digital processes.Through recent years they have played at H15 Scene Cph, Nordic House Reykjavik, Teater S/H, Sånafest Performancefestival, Teater Får302 and composed for performance and theatre projects.

A NIGHT OF NEVER-ENDING ENDINGS
The conversational concert 'A night of never-ending endings’
by Oak & Shaw and Hazel Barstow at Y Choreography Festival 2019, Haut, S/H Teater, Copenhagen.
During the course of a night, the audience fell asleep surrounded by melting ice, which sound was transformed into a soundscape mixing with conversations and tunes by Oak & Shaw.
