He worked closely with the poet Øyvind Rimbereid, and the performance artist Lisa C. Baudoin Lie was director.[7] [8]

In 2015 Mæland released eight works variously on labels Lawo, Fabra and Geiger,[9] with Stine Motland and Sanae Yoshida,[10] [11] Marco Fusi, Oslo String Quartet, Aksiom and Telemark Chamber Orchestra.
