TRONDHEIM VOICES & WALLUMROD, CHRISTIAN
GJEST SONG (HUBRO)
All compositions by Christian Wallumrod. Trondheim Voices is a groundbreaking Norwegian ensemble of improvising vocalists, constantly challenging and changing the framework for how a vocal ensemble can produce sound art.
Each singer's individuality, and her timbre combined with the other voices, are in focus, resulting in a unique quality to the groups collective sound.
Through their many collaborations with cutting edge composers like Christian Wallumrod, Marilyn Mazur, Jon Balke, Mats Gustavsson and Maja Ratkje, they have made solid statements as developers within vocal and improvised music.
Trondheim Voices are exploring and developing new music in the interaction between the singers, the audience, their surroundings and new technology.
