Songs We Sing by Hans Knut Sveen

This project began in 2018, with the simple desire to play songs that we love. These could be pieces with strong associations, ones we had enjoyed singing and playing before, or songs we had never sung and that were, perhaps, even new to us. When the songs were written or what genre they might come from was not important. Original instrumentation (piano, harpsichord etc) and received ideas about vocal style were also not a priority. Finding a way of creating renditions with the tools at hand (Alwynne's voice and Hans Knut's harmonium) is what originally defined the project.

Harmonium loops Sept 2023

These recordings were made during a public workshop at Gyldenpris Kunsthall (Hop, Bergen) 17 Sept. 2023. They are close recordings of Hans Knut's research on the chordal material in Schubert's "An Sylvia".

They were recorded separately on a multitrack device, and they were also played back towards the end of the workshop blending in with the sounds from all other activities in the same room.

The tracks below are set to play back in loops and they may be played back and stopped individually. Adjust volume individually for each track.
