She is also doing shows with the band FRYD
for Telenor in Malaysia and in Pakistan,
where they have recorded documentaries and
shows for several TV companies.
Hildegunn manipulates the sounds of her
trumpets, her voice, the violin and goat
horns with electronic equipment inspired by
both nature and urban civilization. A
combination of the most beautiful noise you
ever heard and a fragile crying voice. She
brings new dimensions into the music with
humor in one pocket and magical soundscapes
in the other.
Hildegunn participated in LANDS KAPPLEIKEN
2005 on both goat horn and lur. In 2006 she
will release a solo album produced by Svein
Schultz.
Her DEBUT concert contains music in
commission composed by Ingrid Kindem. |
