"Listening to Reba Hasko's music is like observing an alchemist creating art in a laboratory of the heart & mind..."
-United Global Artists.
A native of upstate New York, Reba Hasko makes largely experimental dream pop layered with surprising orchestrations, including tubular bells and pizzicato strings. As a music school student, she developed a love for atonal songs and mixed meters by artists like John Cage. Hasko wrote, recorded, programmed and performed all the songs for her latest CD, Seeds From the Twisted Pear, while living in Berlin.
Hasko says she inherited a love of singing and playing piano from her grandmother, who used to croon favorite show tunes and Patsy Cline songs. When she was nine Hasko began experimenting and improvising at the piano and eventually attended the Crane School of Music in New York where she studied theater, opera and voice. As a student she failed 20th Century Composition after writing something so unusual she says her teacher claimed, "This isn't even music!"
Seeds from the Twisted Pear would later go on to be hailed among music lovers as 'blissfully avant-garde', nominated on Epinions Music Source for 'Best Album of the Year', and be featured on NPR's 'Second Stage'.
Since 2008 she has been working in New Mexico collaborating in modern dance, dance film, installation, video and penning songs for her next album.
