Trondheim Jazzorkester & Hedvig Mollestad - Maternity Beat

She's brought a star team of musicians. Violin, flute, trumpet and two female voices guarantees to show a somewhat different side of Mollestad than what we've seen before. Meanwhile, the solid rhythm section – as a crossover of Elephant9 and JUNO (!) – a foreshadowing of scary plans.

Through Maternity Beat, Mollestad seeks to convey experiences by being and having a mother. What is the mother pulse? Is it there? How does it feel? Is it the same in 2020 as it was 1000 years ago? Nevertheless, most of the issues and conflicts surrounding having ambitions – both as a mother and a touring and creative musician – have been an important part of the inspiration.
