Hara Alonso

Hara Alonso is a Stockholm-based pianist, composer and sound artist from Spain. Her compositional process is grounded in performance and corporeal experience, exploring multisensory practices, memory and space as instruments for sound-making.Hara’s music has been showcased in the form of ensemble, solo, sound installation and EAM in festivals such as Mutek (Mexico), Keroxen (Spain) or Malmöfestivalen (Sweden).  She has collaborated extensively in the dance scene, working, among others, with the choreographers Pontus Pettersson, Oda Brekke, Martin Sonderkamp and Eleonora dall’Asta.In the last years she has expanded the timbral and performative possibilities of the piano through extended techniques, somatic practices and signal processing. Her sonic universe, described as a ‘gloomy bubbling electronic power ambient’, navigates between granular landscapes, minimal beats and hypnotic layers with a strong micro lyrical presence.
