Oslo - Paris, Norway
Born at the Norges Musikkhogskole (Oslo, Norway), Silent Fires reunites four young bandleaders from the European improvised music scene: singer Karoline Wallace, trumpeter Hilde Marie Holsen, violinist Håkon Aase and pianist-composer Alessandro Sgobbio. Their cross-genre intermixture of lyrics and acoustic-electronic fragments – merged into written and improvised soundscapes – investigates the theme of spirituality in its multiple meanings. Silent Fires performs and improvises on stage with contemporary dancer Synne Garvik, offering a multi-art experience of improvised music and realtime choreography.
