Two solo performances unfold around a shared passage: a temporary zone of resonance shaped by breath, vibration, and attentive listening. Across saxophone, voice, synthesis, and electro-acoustic textures, Laura Misch and Sofie Birch approach sound as an elemental force—fluid, tactile, and quietly transformative.
London-based artist Laura Misch presents new material from an evolving body of work that threads together saxophone improvisation, layered vocals, field recordings, and electronic production. Rooted in slow atmospheres and natural phenomena, her compositions move through drifting clouds of harmony, submerged rhythms, and spacious melodic forms. Drawing from a lineage of exploratory electronic music while remaining grounded in intimacy and emotional clarity, Misch creates environments that invite sustained attention. Her acclaimed releases Sample The Sky and Sample The Earth map a practice centered on ecology, perception, and collective presence.
In the collaborative intermission, the two artists meet in a collaborative intermission before Sofie Birch continues with Ambient Abracadabra, her ongoing sonic practice spanning performance, radio, and immersive listening environments. Working with synthesis, voice, acoustic instrumentation, and spatial sound, Birch shapes subtle states of tension and release that unfold with ritualistic patience. Her work draws from sound design, spirituality, and environmental awareness, creating porous compositions where atmosphere becomes architecture. Listening becomes physical—an altered sense of time suspended between meditation and dream logic.
