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 composers like Hanna Hartman, Lisa Streich and Magdalena Meitzner is mixed with performance art by artists like Marina Abramovic, Rebecca Horn and Hector Meinhof.

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: Ulrik Nilsson and Magdalena Meitzner. The duo is based in Stockholm, Sweden. Magdalena Meitzner is a composer as well as freelancing musician. Ulrik Nilsson (former members of the internationally acclaimed Kroumata Percussion Ensemble) is a freelancer.
