New work just finished: "Reflections in light - DUALITY"

DUALITY is written for a duo with double bass and voice (baritone, Bernt Ola Volungholen). This piece will be premiered June 18th 2022 in Hamardomen, as part of the Flagstad festival.

DUALITY is a slowly moving exploration of a short verse by Rumi, examining every word and syllable as they echo through the long reverb in Hamardomen and pushing the range of dynamics from powerful f to almost inaudible whispers creating painterly sonic textures.

All day and night, music,
a quiet, bright
reed song. If it
fades, we fade.

- Rumi

My workplace

My work place

Submitted by Sigurd Hole on Fri, 2022-06-03 16:04

My work place / composers "hut" since 2020, situated on a farm in Stange, Norway. Nearby the farm is a small forest "island" in between the surrounding fields where sculptures made by sculptor and stone artist Knut Wold are displayed. On warm summer days I sometimes bring my bass outdoors to practice.

*Maybe*, from time to time, I will announce some of these outdoors sessions as pop-up concerts. Either playing solo, or perhaps invite other musicians to join. Stay tuned for more info!

THE BIOPHONIC ORCHESTRA
Being close to nature has always been important to the double bass player SIGURD HOLE. Now he puts ecological questions fully in the center with a septet.

Reflections in light

Submitted by Sigurd Hole on Wed, 2022-06-01 20:44

REFLECTIONS IN LIGHT is a cycle of works for different ensembles ranging from solo double bass to six musicians composed especially, but not exclusively, for performances inside the vast sonic and visual reverb of the glass and metal prism-shaped structure encapsulating the medieval church ruins at Domkirkeodden in Hamar, Norway.
