Sigurd Hole
Exploring listening as a way of deepening our experience of
landscape, memory and the living world.
“Composer of sonically expansive, thoughtfully paced music”THE NEW YORK TIMES
Sigurd Hole is a composer and double bassist. His work often explores connections between sound and landscape, time and memory. Through composition, performance and interdisciplinary projects, he shapes artistic expressions rooted in these relationships.
Current work includes new compositions, solo and ensemble performances, and the development of Fragmenter, an interdisciplinary project that draws on music by Hole’s forefathers from Rendalen as a point of departure for new soundscapes.

I am currently completing the final mix of Requiem for a Star – Cosmic Soundscapes of Destruction and Creation, a new work for the Cicada String Quartet and double bass, recorded at Sørum Farm in March 2026.
Inspired by stellar evolution and my fascination with astronomy, time and space, the project explores slowly evolving timbral transformations and silence as both movement and state.
