Hildá Länsman & Tuomas Norvio
Hildá Länsman - voice and frame drum
Tuomas Norvio - electronics
Soundscapes based on improvisation and spaces between echoes and rhythms form a meeting place for Hildá’s ethereal, buzzing, growling and translucent vocal sounds and Tuomas’s dense electronics and samples. Tuomas Norvio works as a sound designer, composer, musician and producer – both on stage and in the studio. The electronic music professional currently explores the shared areas between multiple artforms. Hildá Länsman is known as a champion for the yoik tradition, as a strong interpreter, composer, lyricist and award-winning musician. These two masters of different music styles have been creating music together since 2017.
