Note: This concert takes place at Union, Nørre Allé 7.
Sofie Birch weaves together improvisational use of electronic hardware, a nurturing sense of harmonious curiosity, and serene plateaus of sound. With a profound interest in the healing nature of sound and vibrations, her music contains the potential for opening channels to states of dream-like perception and alleviated presence. Yet the unpredictable experimentation of her engagement with sound, surroundings, and field recordings makes each work a unique expression of imagination.
Through Danish label interCourse, Sofie Birch channels an album of inhabitant sound, ‘Holotropica’ following her latest and very well renowned album with Johan Carøe in 2021. A series of cuts that are dominant to a space, but still pregnant with non-invasive gentle care. Inspired by both meditation processes and her own pregnancy, Holotropica (meaning ‘moving towards wholeness’) combines ambient, serene electronics, flute, and harp, and reflects Birchs own transformation to motherhood and the love inherited. At ALICE we are excited once again to present Sofie Birch, when she is celebrating the release of ‘Holotropica’. The night will open will a sound bath seance, followed by a live set by Sofie Birch and Nana Pi.
