Echoing the sounds of the Nordic coast and urban dance halls, cinematic sonic bass producer/violinist HANNAH blends folk songs and improvised instrumental/vocal music with cutting edge electronic sounds, counting Massive Attack, Phaeleh, Trentemøller, and Ólafur Arnalds as influences in crafting her sound. The resulting sonic palate takes listeners on “a kind of mystical journey” (PopMatters), whose destination is a crossroads between classical and contemporary, organic and man-made, familiar and mysterious.
HANNAH is also deep in the yoga/music scene, and performs her original orchestral and intuitive scores at numerous yoga festivals and studios around the world, including US and Canadian Wanderlust Festivals, collaborating with lauded teachers Elena Brower, Seane Corn, Eoin Finn, Shiva Rea, Schuyler Grant, Aarona Pichinson, and many others.
She plays both an acoustic and a five-string electric violin, accompanied by her original electronic scores. HANNAH’s sound and performances meld and blur genres in relentlessly inventive ways, creating a riveting sonic experience that is undeniable in its sincerity and refreshing in its originality.
“Luminous frequencies and violin instrumentation tied with foreign Icelandic lyrical messages are found in her voice...” (AfroMonk) "It has the ability to seep into your soul in ways only orchestral and electronic music can.” (Infectious Magazine)
