"VII The Chariot" (2012, from Tarot des Sens) by Magdalena Meitzner. Performed by Hidden Mother at Capitol Stockholm 2013.

"Tarot des Sens" is a sound design of the 22 cards that make up the major Arcana of the Tarot deck. The major Arcana contain powerful archetypal images, as Justice, The World, The Fool, Death, etc. The musical interpretation tries to capture the archetypal moments and invites to a reflection of the sensory input arising from the mixture of music and performance.

When the complete version of "Tarot des Sens" is performed, the audience may choose cards from the Hidden Mother Tarot Deck - and then listen to the prediction...

HIDDEN MOTHER - XIII Death (Tarot des Sens) by Magdalena Meitzner



"Zirkel" (2009, for sound objects and hidden voice) by Magdalena Meitzner. Performed by Hidden Mother at Capitol Stockholm 2013.

LISTEN WITH HEADPHONES!

Magdalena Meitzner: Sound objects
Hidden electronics: Ulrik Nilsson

The piece is inspired of Unica Zürn's "Hexentexte". The texts are anagrams. That means that every line of the poem has exactly the same letters mixed to different words. This creates an extraordinary strange flow of words, sometimes connecting to pictures and metaphors, sometimes loosing all coherence. Unica Zürn suffered from paranoid schizophrenia and wrote these poems between her psychotic episodes. "Zirkel" tries to show the process into the psychosis but is in the same way a ritual for someone who tries to deal with this mental state and uses it to expand his or hers consciousness.

HIDDEN MOTHER - Zirkel, by Magdalena Meitzner

HIDDEN MOTHER
Scenic music - Sound rituals - Performance

Hidden Mother is a contemporary music duo focused on scenic music. What distinguishes Hidden Mother from other groups in this genre is that they incorporate performance art within their shows. Music by pioneers of "théâtre musical", such as Georges Aperghis, contemporary composers as Hanna Hartman, Lisa Streich and Esaias Järnegard is mixed with performance art by artists like Marina Abramovic and Rebecca Horn. The group also makes unusual interpretations of works by for example Steve Reich. All these things combined make Hidden Mother's performances unique and surprising experiences.
 
The members are professional percussionists, but Hidden Mother is far from a traditional percussion ensemble. The instruments they use are often different sound objects and electronics. 
 
Hidden Mother are: Ulrik Nilsson (Hector Meinhof) and Magdalena Meitzner. The duo is based in Stockholm, Sweden.
