Prior to tonight's show at the Blue Balls Festival in Lucerne, Switzerland, Aurora gave an interview to local radio station Radio3 FACH. Lasting just over 10 minutes - including several of Aurora's songs - here is the interview on SoundCloud.
Published on July 24, 2017. Interview conducted on the same day, before Aurora's live on Blue Balls Festival.
Description:
"Sie stand auf der Bühne, das Abendlicht hat sie angeschienen, sie trug einen hellen Rock und sie war gar nicht wie ein Mensch, sondern viel mehr wie eine Elfe", das war das erste, was wir über AURORA gehört haben. Die junge Norwegerin hat eine helle Stimme, macht aber poetische, dunkle Musik. Bevor sie am Blue Balls die Luzernerinnen und Luzerner verzaubert, sprach sie mit uns über Lieder schreiben am norwegischen Meer ohne Licht, über Respekt in der Musik-Branche und einen verzauberten Wunsch, den sie hat.
Rough translation:
"She was on stage, the evening light was shining on her, she was wearing a light-colored skirt and she wasn't human at all, but much more like an elf", that was the first thing we heard about AURORA. The young Norwegian has a bright voice, but makes poetic, dark music. Before she enchanted the people of Lucerne at the Blue Balls, she spoke to us about writing songs on the Norwegian sea without light, about respect in the music industry and an enchanted desire that she has.
There are not many questions in German, most of the German text is the introduction or they are translated summaries of what Aurora said. This Swiss German is quite different from Hochdeutsch (normal German) by the way and it's not my native language so I hope I'm not making any mistakes. The few relevant parts I found:
5:30 - we asked Aurora about her experiences as a young person and as a woman in music business
7:37 - if a music fairy appeared and fulfilled a wish, what would Aurora wish for?
