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 Norwegian composer and double bassist whose work explores listening as a way of connecting with our surroundings. Embracing a curious attitude towards the nature of sound, he creates works rooted in place, memory and long-term engagement with the living world.
Current work includes new compositions, solo and ensemble performances, and the development of Fragmenter, a artistic project inspired by musical traces from Hole’s forefathers in Rendalen and their resonance in the present.

Ongoing work
Requiem for a Star – Cosmic Soundscapes of Destruction and Creation, is a new work for the Cicada String Quartet and double bass, currently in its final production phase following a recording made at Sørum Farm in March 2026.
Inspired by stellar evolution, time and space, the project explores slowly evolving timbral transformations and silence as both movement and state.
The video excerpt was recorded during a work-in-progress concert last October.
