about

2020 was a year with unprecedented emotional, mental, physical, and sociological effects. During that time, HOCKET conceived this project to figure out how to make music together, make sense of what was happening in the world, and to provide an artistic and musical outlet for the new music community to express themselves.

#What2020SoundsLike is a project of miniature commissions with a quick turnaround time. There was so much to process during 2020 on a day-to-day basis that #What2020SoundsLike was created as a platform for composers to voice their responses. HOCKET commissioned 50 composers to write new works which they recorded into performance videos. These performances were released on social media and then they were re-recorded at the end for this album.

#What2020SoundsLike has been generously supported by John Bierbusse.
