Trall. Together with OsloMet’s department of Early Childhood Education, we’ve designed and built Trall — a digital singing experience filled with beautifully re-recorded songs by some of Norway’s most prominent artists.

Studies show that we feel increasingly less comfortable singing, especially in front of others. If this trend continues, and educators and children continue to spend less time together singing in class rooms, traditional children’s songs might slowly diminish from Norway’s collective memory. By giving access to a digital treasure chest of over 150 songs, Trall aims to rejuvenate this musical heritage. In close collaboration with the their team, we designed and built the beta version of the app; an audiovisual music player that invites children and educators to rediscover the joy of singing together. We also developed the brand identity and data-driven visuals.

Based on extensive research and testing, we built the Trall app on multiple layers of possible engagement and contexts—from singing along in a group setting to discovering background information in a private setting. In both the brand and product design, we aimed to create an experience that invites both the student and the educator to intuitively interact with the app, and playfully discover its most basic features. The animated illustrations in the music player are automatically generated every time you interact with the app, following shifts in both music and nature.
