Imagine stepping into a world without a frame of reference; an open and limitless field. The path is clear, but the future unknown. As the enterer improvises and distinguishes patterns in what is created, a new space of awareness is boldly being claimed with each physical step.
The Enterer, Pauline Hogstrand’s first release as a solo artist—out on No Technique and Forlaget Kornmod on December 4—laurels the human overriding of information and the endless creation of new points of presence. Through a suite of tense compositions, serene and dizzying all at once, The Enterer’s mantra is being chanted repeatedly: New. New. New. I am here.
Falling somewhere between a classically trained viola player and an electroacoustic composer with iconoclastic tendencies, Pauline Hogstrand blurs the lines between traditional compositions and digitally manipulated sounds. Through a minimalistic material of viola, flute, claves and finger cymbals, the content is being altered, stretched and looped into 40 minutes of baroque arrangements, oscillating between authenticity and surrealism.
Hailing from the northeast of Sweden, 33-year-old Hogstrand began singing in choirs at a young age, and before her 15th birthday she mastered a string of instruments, including the viola, serving as her main instrument today. Now based in Copenhagen, Denmark for more than a decade, Pauline Hogstrand has built a musical and creative environment that not only holds her instrumental skills, but also challenges experiences and knowledge of life and the arts, which satisfies a personal need for wholeness in music.
One of her numerous efforts has been as a producer and violist in the music collective Damkapellet, which aims to elucidate and perform classical music written by female, nonbinary and transsexual composers, and to explore the possibilities of a collective leadership. She is also a member of the ensemble Crush String Collective, improvising and composing their own material while playing music from the heart in a collective string crush.
