Work Residency: Hilde Annine Hasselberg

During her work residency at BEK, singer and composer Hilde Annine Hasselberg will prepare audio material for the project Et lite barn (A Little Child); a concert that draws parallels between the Christmas gospel and the current refugee crisis. The sound material will mainly be developed in Ableton Live with the use of natural sounds related to the story being told in the work. During the concert, this sound material will function both as an audible backdrop and as an instrument that Hasselberg can use live on stage.
