In And after you, all I could hear was the wind, Hasselberg proposes an unprecedented fusion between the continuous sound of the harmonium, the creative possibilities of electronic music, and the acoustic space in which the performance takes place. This project revives the sound of a forgotten and particularly rare instrument—a harmonium built in France in the late 19th century by Mr. de Boutevilin, awarded the Médaille d’Or in Paris in 1900—giving it a new function and meaning 125 years later.
By combining this instrument, deeply associated not only with sacred music but also with non-religious spiritual experience, with the avant-garde language provided by electronic manipulation, Hasselberg creates a dialogue between different eras and artistic expressions. This dialogue not only pays homage to tradition, but also transforms it, showing that it can be reimagined in a contemporary way. The result is a work that transcends stylistic boundaries, creating a unique and immersive sound experience.
