Asynje is a musical collaboration created in the same Danish folktronica environment who previously gave rise to bands such as Sorten Muld and Valravn. The project has existed as a duo since 2002 consisting of Nanna Barslev and Søren Hammerlund but has since been extended with the two multi-instrumentalists Martin Seeberg and Mads Kjøller-Henningsen. Asynje had its premiere concert in October 2010 Asynje at the Copenhagen Cultural Night.
In May 2011 the band released its debut album: "Genkaldt".
Asynje merges the folk music traditions of scandinavia with electronic sounds, creating a brand new musical sphere inspired by ancient nordic tales and landscapes. The band consists of experienced musicians including former members of the bands Valravn and Sorten Muld.
With a gallery of beautiful old instruments the band creates an exciting visual and auditory setting for an atmospheric and engrossing concert. Among these instruments we find the hurdy gurdy, nordic bagpipes, mandola, overtone flutes, viking lyre and nyckelharpa.

Asynje consists of:
Nanna Barslev -- vocals and percussion.
Martin Seeberg -- viola, fiddle, flutes, lyre, jawsharps.
Søren Hammerlund -- hurdy gurdy, bouzouki, nyckelharpa, electronics.
Troels Dueholm Nørgaard -- flute, hurdy gurdy, bouzouki.
