The show with Alan Licht unfortunately has to be cancelled…

Chantal Michelle

Chantal Michelle is a composer and interdisciplinary artist whose work engages with the spatial and tactile properties of sound. Her practice incorporates feedback systems, multichannel speaker arrangements, and psychoacoustic phenomena to explore how perception can be altered, disrupted, or reconstructed. Her projects span site-responsive installations, hand-blown glass instruments, conceptual scores, and recorded works.

Michelle’s work has been presented internationally at venues and institutions including the Royal Academy of Art (UK), the Seoul Museum of Art (KR), Het HEM (NL), Fridman Gallery (US), Cafe OTO (UK), MUTEK (MX), and Silent Green (DE). Her discography includes a forthcoming LP on Shelter Press, alongside recent releases on Dinzu Artefacts, SUPERPANG, and Warm Winters Ltd. She has received support from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts (US), the Berlin Senate Department for Culture (DE), and the Sonic Art Research Unit (UK). Michelle holds an MFA from Bard College’s Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts.

Abigail Toll

Abigail Toll is an English, Berlin-based sound artist and composer who makes a beguiling concoction of abstract minimalism, pensive drone and thrumming electronics (Boomkat). Her artistic research  explores interspecies resonance through folk music, field recordings, and countermapping.   Her live shows melt psychoacoustics and noise with the trance-inducing ambience of neolithic temples which she evokes to terrifying and divine effect in a live performance that combines flute, droning metal singing bowls  & electronics with hypnotic vocal  mantras. An immersive sensory experience, the piece evolves through each live performance, with Toll  sculpting the sound to each room’s resonant character (and vice-versa). Driven by experiential psychoacoustic  research, these ritual communal acts of performance will ultimately shape her next recorded album’s final compositions.
