Norwegian avant-jazz talent Hilde Marie Holsen is known as an adventurous young trumpet and electronics improviser. Her latest solo debut release, Ask (2015), has received critical appraisal, with the Guardian calling it ‘utterly wondrous’. Improvised soundscapes with real time processed horn is the core of Hilde Marie Holsen’s exploration of the interaction between trumpet and electronics, with the horn ‘emerging out of twitching static, as if picked up by a radio’. The music can be described as melancholic, but with melody in focus, room for noise, great dynamics and plenty of drama. Holsen’s trumpet playing heralds something new; and is a promising development in the electronic field
