Anchoress is a project by Berlin-based artist Anna Lucia Nissen, Centered around a magnetic vocal delivery, crafts experimental pop dirges that merge drone atmospheres with theatrical intensity. On stage, she transforms concerts into visceral, performative experiences. Her work explores the fragility of human existence and the porous boundary between human and non-human life. Often compared to Anohni or Scott Walker, her androgynous vocals move effortlessly between force and tenderness, opening liminal spaces where the transcendent and incomprehensible coexist.
Unbound by place or genre, mercurial duo Soft as Snow find freedom to intuitively reflect the disarray of human connection with their intricate, shape-shifting pop production. Their music is marked by a forward-thinking modernity; elements of ASMR and rough sampling, slippery rhythms and noisy textures. Their catalogue includes full-length releases on notable labels such as fabric’s imprint Houndstooth, Beacon Sound and Infinite Machine. Alongside their albums their output involves a series of noise-driven impro based work on progressive tape labels.
The next W:UM at @the_lodge_berlin features live performances by two experts of digital signal processing. Expect acoustic instruments pushed beyond their limits, warped horns, deep drones, and richly textured sonic landscapes, followed by a DJ set from @yuvib

Barbara Gita speaks through a horn, cracked open and rewired through machines built for disobedience.
she turns sacred objects into abstract signal, memory into pulse. Somewhere between sound art and parallel folklore.

Broshuda
Cross-pollinating a wide textural range of influences, Broshuda´s music incorporates elements of sound art,electroacoustic techniques, chopped spoken word dissections and field recorded material, more as well.
Though kaleidoscopically varied, the work is held together by a playful sense of experimentation and a willingness to explore new directions of sound through an experimental approach and the use of freeform production techniques to expand and further his already broad sonic palette.

IMMA _____________________________________________
During the last years Ljungsberg spent her time crafting song-based compositions utilizing her voice, acoustic instrumentation and field recordings, heavily manipulated by digital tools, in order to create worlds that hold elements of dream-folk, lo-fi ambient and musique concréte. On the other hand, Avizohar was experimenting with realms of deep-listening sonic landscapes, composed with the use of hybrid methods such as field recordings, analog synthesis and digital algorithms in order to create immersive electroacoustic compositions, inspired by minimalism, ambient, industrial and metal. While the two gained individually rich reputations, performing around europe and releasing their music on acclaimed labels - they found a common ground inspired by their two worlds. Their music echoes Ljungsberg’s captivating voice and nordic folklore songwriting with Avizohar’s cinematic compositions and surgical sound design. IMMA creates an experimental sonic melange of shoegaze folk noir and ethereal ambient, that lingers between eerie dark tales to mesmerizing dreamy lullabies.
